Surface or film-forming sealers are also put on Sandstone.

Acids cause less immediate wear to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and damage the Sandstone.
The film serves Since a sacrificial wear layer, accepting damage from foot traffic rather than the tile itself.
Since the sealer sits on the surface of the Sandstone, we suggest applying one or two of coats of impregnating sealer to begin with.

A surface sealer will last for 2 to four years before it needs topping up.
If possible, check wear every six months.
Deep clean wear areas for them to be re-sealed.
Restore the final with a couple of coats of Surface sealer.
