Sealing Slate in Kitchens Panania - Sydney

Due to its natural and porous nature, SlateStone tiles in Panania require sealing to prevent staining.

Porous SlateStone can quickly absorb liquids such as water and oil. Sealing provides a protective barrier, allowing time to wipe away potential stains before permanent damage occurs.

It's essential in Panania to use a penetrating sealer that is safe for use around food in kitchens, avoiding topical sealers. Topical sealers can inhibit SlateStone's natural breathability and detract from its inherent beauty.

Our premium penetrating sealer in Panania boasts a special molecular structure, enhancing its resistance compared to other products on the market.

Using a penetrating sealer makes SlateStone easier to clean while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.

Some drawbacks of topical sealers include in Panania:

  • Requires frequent reapplication
  • Needs complete removal before reapplication
  • Prevents the stone from breathing, trapping moisture within
  • Generates a shiny surface prone to scratching or scuffing
  • Alters the natural color of SlateStone

The primary purpose of a stone sealer is to offer stain resistance to porous stone surfaces in Panania.

Substances like red wine, oil, and grease can cause damage that may necessitate heavy resurfacing machinery for removal. While sealing slatestone won't completely prevent liquids from being absorbed in Panania, it will provide you with time to promptly wipe away spills before permanent damage sets in.

Cleaning and maintaining slatestone flooring can be more challenging in Panania when left unsealed, as surface contaminants readily absorb into the porous structure, making them difficult to remove.

It is highly recommended in Panania to apply a deep-penetrating impregnating sealer to slatestone floors, ensuring long-lasting protection and stain resistance.
