Do I need to seal my natural stone paving?Updated 2 months ago

Sealing is generally recommended to improve protection and longevity, although it is not always essential. Different stone types have different needs:

  • Sandstone: Sealing is recommended to enhance colour and protect against stains
  • Limestone: Sealing is recommended to enhance protection against stains and weathering
  • Slate: Sealing enriches and stabilises natural colours
  • Granite: Less porous, but sealing can still provide added protection
  • Porcelain: Generally, doesn't require sealing, but you can use a Porcelain Sealer for added protection
