Penetrating Marble Sealer

Sealing with a long-lasting penetrating sealer will not only aid in preventing staining but also prolong the lifespan of your marble. Additionally, it will make regular maintenance much more manageable.

Impregnating penetrating sealants penetrate into the marble substrate itself, soaking into the microscopic pinholes and open fissures that make up its natural texture.

A clear impregnating sealer won't change the look or feel of your sealed marble, won't affect the stone's ability to release vapor, and will last much longer than film-forming sealers. Here are the benefits of using a clear impregnating sealer for marble:

  • Longevity: Protection is contained within the substrate, not just on the surface.
  • UV Resistance: Not affected by UV light, making it great for both outdoor and indoor use.
  • Breathability: Allows the stone to 'breathe,' enabling retained moisture to escape.
  • Safety: The surface does not become slippery.
  • Durability: Improves
    • Unsealed marble surfaces are highly porous and susceptible to permanent staining from everyday spills. Sealing is important if you want to protect your marble against unwanted staining and deterioration.

      If you have a marble tiled floor, you will know that it absorbs liquids quickly, making it vulnerable to potential stains.

Topical sealers

Topical sealers are applied to create a protective gloss sheen on the surface of the stone, while penetrating sealers are designed to infiltrate the surface of marble, safeguarding the walls of each individual pore within the marble structure.

When it comes to topical sealers for marble stone, there are some drawbacks to consider:

  • Frequent Reapplication: Topical sealers often necessitate regular reapplication to maintain their effectiveness, which can become a time-consuming task.
  • Complete Removal Required: Before reapplication, the existing sealer must be entirely removed, adding extra effort and potential costs to the maintenance process.
  • Limited Breathability: Marble needs to breathe to regulate moisture content effectively. Topical sealers can inhibit this natural process, trapping moisture within the stone and potentially leading to issues like efflorescence or discoloration over time.
  • Susceptible to Damage: The glossy film created by topical sealers is prone to scratching and scuffing, diminishing the aesthetic appeal of the marble surface.
  • Increased Slipperiness: The shiny surface resulting from topical sealers can pose a slip hazard, especially when the marble is wet, requiring additional precautions for safety.
  • Color Alteration: Some topical sealers may alter the color of the marble, affecting its natural appearance and potentially clashing with the intended design aesthetic.

The primary function of a stone sealer for marble is to impart stain resistance to this naturally porous stone.

Red wine, oil, and grease, especially, can cause damage to marble that may require heavy resurfacing machinery to fully remove. While sealing marble won't completely prevent liquids from penetrating it, it will provide you with a window of time to clean spills before permanent staining sets in.

Cleaning and maintaining marble flooring can become more challenging if left unsealed, as surface contaminants will readily penetrate the porous structure of marble, making them tough to remove.

It is strongly recommended to apply a deep penetrating impregnating sealer to marble floors for long-lasting protection and resistance against stains. The best available penetrating sealer today is Australian made. They produce non-solvent sealers that are effortlessly applied using a brush, roller, or sprayer, and they dry within a few hours. These deep penetrating Marble sealers are offered in a dry, invisible finish or with a slightly wet, color-enhancing effect, providing protection for up to 10 to 15 years.

Choose Correctly

  • Select a high-quality, long-lasting deep penetrating, impregnating sealerspecifically formulated for marble.
  • Thoroughly clean your marble surface before application to ensure that dust and debris are removed, as they can become trapped once sealed.
  • Follow the manufacturer's instructions precisely for correct application and the appropriate number of coats required for optimal protection.
  • Keep in mind that investing in a premium stone sealer is crucial, as the quality of the sealer directly impacts its performance and durability. With stone sealers, you truly get what you pay for in terms of effectiveness and longevity.

Marble can vary in hardness and is inherently porous. If you apply a small amount of water to an unsealed marble surface, it will be absorbed quickly, often within seconds. The level of porosity in marble can also be influenced by its finish. For instance, highly polished marble tends to be less porous compared to marble with a honed (matte) finish.

Fluoro-chemical technology integrated into Australian GOLD represents the pinnacle of advancement in marble sealing technology, offering unparalleled long-term protection against water and oil-based stains. The micro-molecular formula chemically reacts with the marble surface to form a bond stronger than any other conventional sealer, ensuring superior durability and performance.
