Beautify Your Limestone the Easy Way with Limestone Sealing
No matter where you have your limestone installed, whether indoors or out, whether as a countertop or a floor, sealing it is essential. Doing so makes the surface of the stone less absorbent which both makes it easier to clean and it lowers the chances that it can become stained. The good news is that Fuller Marble Polishing can help with all your limestone sealing needs.
It’s This Simple: Unsealed Limestone is at Risk
There is no way around it: If you have not sealed your limestone then you have limestone that is at risk. If you want to protect the stone and any investment you have made into it, then you want to seal it. This prevents damage, keeps the surface looking great and is more than worth the cost.
Not All Limestone Sealants Are Created Equal – We Will Find the Right One for You
There are plenty of companies out there selling limestone sealing kits that claim this is a simple project that can be completed in an afternoon. Unfortunately, many of these products not only don’t work but they can actually cause damage. They may have strong odors that stick around for months, or they may have volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) which have been shown to have a negative impact on air quality.
The other main issue with DIY limestone sealing options is that they are topical. What does this mean? It means that instead of penetrating deep into the limestone it simply sits on the top. This prevents the stone from breathing, which can cause a film and can affect the integrity of the stone. The best sealants are penetrating and offer superior protection without the risk of damage.
Are You Not Sure if You Need Limestone Sealing? Try This Test
If you’re not sure if your limestone surface is protected or if it is in need of sealing, try this test. Take a few drops of water and drip them on your limestone. Leave it for ten minutes and then blot it dry. If the stone got darker when it was wet then you know the water was absorbed. However, if the color went back to its natural state within a few minutes then you may not need to seal it. If it stayed darker for longer than that then you know it is time for limestone sealing.
