The Brisbane Sandstone Sealing Service You Need

In the world of natural stones, sandstone is a popular choice for many homeowners due to its unique charm and natural aesthetics. However, certain measures need to be taken to keep it looking as good as new, and one such measure is professional sandstone sealing.
Sealing sandstone is vital for maintaining its condition and enhancing its beauty as time goes by. The process offers a protective layer and benefits to the stone when properly applied.
Sandstones porous nature makes it susceptible to absorbing water and oil-based stains easily. By applying a sealant, you can prevent these stains from penetrating the surface of the stone. The sealant acts as a barrier keeping the stains on the surface which makes them easier to clean and helps maintain the cleanliness and appearance of the stone.
Additionally, sandstone contains calcite, a mineral that’s particularly vulnerable to acid erosion. This harmful process can cause damage to both the structure and appearance of the stone. By using a sealant, you can protect against acid attacks. Help preserve the integrity of the sandstone for a longer period.
Lastly when sandstone is properly sealed routine maintenance becomes noticeably more manageable. A high-quality sealant reduces its tendency to absorb stains making it easier to keep clean. So not only does sealing enhance the visual appeal of the stone but at the same time it also plays a role, in safeguarding it from potential harm.
When to Seal Sandstone?
The characteristics of sandstone can mean that the optimal time to seal sandstone surfaces is right after they have been installed. This initial sealing provides an immediate protective layer, preventing potential damage from the outset. Nonetheless, you can also choose to seal the sandstone when it starts to exhibit signs of wear and tear or when stains become noticeable, but you will need the sandstone cleaned first.
An essential point to bear in mind is that the sandstone must be thoroughly clean, free from previous coatings, and completely dry before applying the sealer. Any pre-existing stains or other types of coatings, such as wax or old sealant, should be fully removed before sealing.
The maintenance of the sealant is equally important. Regular resealing of the sandstone surface is necessary for maintaining its appearance and durability. The frequency of resealing largely depends on the type of sealer employed.
Despite the protective layer, cleaning up any accidental spills of acidic substances immediately is vital. Even a sealed sandstone surface can suffer from etching if these spills are not promptly taken care of.
