Even though natural stone is very hard and strong, it can also be very porous. Because of this feature, you want to protect your natural stone investment by using a quality sealer.

If left unsealed, stains can penetrate deep into the stone. Using a sealer allows the sealer to penetrate deep into the pores of the stone, filling them so that stains cannot penetrate  those pores.

There are different types and qualities of sealers on the market. At Pierce Flooring, we recommend and use Miracle Sealants. They offer a variety of products including cleaners, color and gloss enhancers, abrasives, penetrating sealers, water based sealers, natural look sealers and one step sealers and enhancers. Everything you need to protect your stone floor, countertop or backsplash.

Keep in mind that not all sealers are the same. There are topical sealers and penetrating sealers. To get the best job, you want to use a penetrating sealer.  A penetrating sealer fills the pores of the stone so that when a stain tries to fill those pores it can’t because the sealer is already there blocking the pores.

How can you tell if you need to reseal your natural stone? Simply pour some water on your stone. If after half an hour your stone does not turn dark, then your sealer is still working.
