Our Proven Stone Sealing Process
Stone sealing is a meticulous process that requires attention to detail and expertise. Our comprehensive sealing process is designed to protect your stone surfaces from stains, moisture, and wear, while enhancing their natural beauty.
Here’s how we do it:
Inspection
We begin by conducting a thorough inspection of your stone surfaces. This helps us identify any specific issues, such as cracks, dirt, or existing damage, allowing us to tailor our sealing approach to your needs.
Deep Cleaning
Before applying any sealant, we perform a deep clean to eliminate dirt, grime, and stains. This step ensures the surface is fully prepared, allowing the sealant to adhere properly and provide maximum protection.
Surface Drying
After cleaning, we allow the stone surfaces to dry completely. A dry surface is essential for effective sealing and prevents moisture from getting trapped under the sealant.
Application of Sealant
Using high-quality, penetrating sealants, we apply the sealant evenly across your stone surfaces. The sealant forms a protective barrier that repels liquids, dirt, and stains while preserving the stone’s natural look and texture.
Curing Time
Once the sealant is applied, we allow it to cure for several hours. This ensures that the stone surfaces are fully protected and ready for use.
