Sealing Marble in Kitchens

Because marble tiles are natural and porous, they do require sealing to help prevent staining.

Liquids such as water and oil can quickly soak into porous marble. Sealing will give you time to wipe away a potential stain before any permanent damage occurs.

You should only apply a penetrating sealer that is safe for use around food in kitchens and never a topical sealer on marble. Topical sealers do not allow marble to breathe and can detract from its natural beauty.

is a premium penetrating sealer for marble contains a special molecular structure, making it more resistant than other products.

Marble Penetrating Impregnating 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.

Using a penetrating sealer will make the marble easier to clean while allowing the stone to breathe naturally.

Some topical sealer drawbacks for marble include:

  • Requires constant reapplication
  • Must be completely removed before reapplication
  • Prevents the stone from breathing, trapping moisture within
  • Creates a shiny surface that is easily scratched or scuffed
  • Alters the color of the marble

Sealing using a long-lasting penetrating sealer will not only help to prevent staining, but also extend the life of your marble and ensure regular maintenance becomes much easier.

Impregnating penetrating sealants for marble truly penetrate into the substrate, permeating the microscopic pin-holes and open fissures inherent in its natural texture. Opting for a clear impregnating sealer ensures that the appearance and texture of your marble remain unchanged, while preserving its ability to release vapor. Unlike film-forming sealers, this solution offers longevity, providing enduring protection without altering the innate characteristics of your 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

      • The great thing about it is that you can use it in the kitchen or food preparation areas without any fear of contamination.

      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 impregnating sealer to marble floors that provides long-lasting protection and stain resistance.

Choosing a Sealer

  • Select a high-quality, long-lasting deep penetrating, impregnating sealer specifically 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, like limestone, 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.
