Natural Stone Sealing FAQS

Stone sealers will protect the stone from staining, while stone enhances will bring out the natural colors in the stone.

Excess sealer is wiped off the surface and the water or solvent base evaporates leaving the resin to dry and harden creating the barrier. Sealer keeps spilled substances on the surface of the stone giving you more time to clean it up, so that it is not absorbed into the pores of the stone causing a stain.

In short, all natural stone surfaces need to be sealed periodically. This is because stone is naturally a porous material and can absorb bacteria, food particles, and liquids that we use throughout our home. ... The good news is that sealing your stone surface won't cost a fortune.

Many tiles - especially natural stone such as slate, marble and limestone - are porous and need to be sealed. ... You have to seal natural stone tile before the grout is applied, however. If you don't, the grout will be absorbed into the tile, ruining the finish.

To begin the natural stone sealing process our professional team at K-Boys Construction begins with cleaning all the natural stone. After that process is finished we wait for the stone to dry. After the stone is dry we then make sure that we have the right surface temperature to apply the sealant. The surface temperature needs to be between 40-85 degrees. We begin to work with small areas using a solvent-resistant pump-sprayer making sure that we are putting on an even coat of sealant. We then use a foam sponge to remove all the excess sealant from the surface. This application for maximum protection is completed every one to three years.

At K-Boys Construction we recommend that you have your natural stone sealed every 2-3 years. 

Typically it takes about 12 hours for the sealent to harden and dry.
