If you want to preserve the natural matt-look on your Sandstone tiles, an impregnating sealer will preserve the natural finish.
Surface or film-forming sealers are also applied to Sandstone.
Surface sealers provide a protecting film over the surface of the floor.
Acids cause less immediate damage to a surface sealer, but if left, they will eventually penetrate the sealer and damage the Sandstone.
Surface sealers render extra protection for the Sandstone and grout.
As the sealer stays over the surface of the stone, we suggest applying one or two of coats of impregnating sealer to begin with.
The impregnating sealer will help protect the Sandstone in places where the original sealer wears away.
Surface sealers generally last for two to four years.
We suggest checking out high wear areas every six months for wear.
If a location is displaying wear, deep clean the location to eliminate soil.
Then top the area up with a couple of coats of sealer.
If you are doing this, your sealer will work for much longer.
