Due to its porosity, sandstone can be stained and gain a build-up of algae. To protect against staining and prevent the need for constant cleaning, sealing sandstone is a good idea.

Advantages to sealing sandstone include:

• Sealed products are much easier to maintain
• Sealing reduces the amount of water absorbed by the stone – therefore reduces mold and algae growth
• Sealing enables the easy removal of common stains like grease, oils, dyes and leaf tannins
• Sealing protects your investment, keeping your sandstone looking for good for many years
• Using a professional sealing product usually comes with a warranty.  If applied with a professional application, the company will offer a warranty of up to 15 years.
• Sealing reduces the risk of water staining
• Sealing will prevent the penetration of spills, making the stone stain-resistant and easier to clean
