Before any sealant is applied to your floor it is very important that you determine the porosity of the stone you are working with. This is easily done by applying a small amount of water onto the surface of the stone. If the water soaks into the stone in under one minute it is classed as high porosity. If this is the case then it is advisable to treat the stone with several coats of a good quality impregnating sealer. All stone has thousands of microscopic pores running through it. If liquid is spilt onto the stones surface it will seep into the stone filling the pores up within. The impregnating sealer will fill the pores of the stone making it much more resistant to absorption. Once the floor has been sealed with the impregnating sealant you can then apply a surface sealant such as a satin sealant if desired.
