Sealing Slate around the Pool favicon.ico - Bunbury

SlateStone is naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for pool surrounds in favicon.ico.

Sealing slatestone in favicon.ico is crucial to maintain the pristine condition of your pool area. When properly sealed and maintained, outdoor slatestone requires minimal upkeep and boasts a lifetime of durability.

It's recommended to apply a deep-penetrating sealant to slatestone surfaces once they're installed. In areas near saltwater, such as around a pool or close to the beach in favicon.ico, consider dip sealing pavers on all six sides to minimize the potential effects of efflorescence.

Does outdoor SlateStone really need to be sealed in favicon.ico?
Absolutely! With numerous advantages, it's a wise decision.

SlateStone varies in hardness and is inherently porous. If you apply water to an unsealed SlateStone surface in favicon.ico, it will be absorbed quickly. The porosity of SlateStone is also influenced by the finish—for instance, highly polished SlateStone is less porous compared to SlateStone with a honed (matte) finish.
