When it comes to sealing your limestone floors, showers, counters, or other surfaces we take note of where they are installed, the finish, and expected traffic. At Sureshine we recommend that all natural stone surfaces should be sealed at least one time especially high use areas like kitchens and bathrooms.
Some exterior surfaces may not require sealing. In fact sealer can sometimes diminish the long-term viability of some limestone surfaces. If you have questions about limestone sealer we are here to help!
Limestone sealer, better known as penetrating sealer or limestone impregnator is a liquid that contains solid sealer particles. The liquid is applied to the surface and allowed to penetrate into the pores of the limestone surface. If allowed to dwell for the proper time, agitated, and then removed, the solid sealer particle is left in the stone. The sealer will then act as a repellent for water and sometimes oil-based liquids.
Sealing your limestone floor in Valley View, TX is done with our premium impregnating sealer. We only use professional-grade sealers that penetrate into the pores of your limestone floor and grout to offer the best protection against stain-causing liquids. You need to remember that penetrating sealers do not prevent etches so periodic maintenance may be needed to keep the finish of your limestone floor looking great.
Sealing your limestone counters in Valley View, TX is usually done after your counters have been detailed to remove residues from cleaning, polishing, or refinishing.

Limestone Leathered finish is a rough or textured finish most commonly done in Valley View, TX on limestone and natural stone floors and counters. The leathered finish on your limestone counter is achieved using abrasive brushes that remove the softer parts of the stone while polishing the harder areas of the stone. Leathered finishes come at all levels of shine from matte to polished. A leathered limestone counter has an old-world look and feel. Sealing a leathered finish limestone surface will help prevent stains. Call today to discuss having your leathered limestone surfaces sealed.
You should always remember that etches and stains are distinctly different issues that can occur on your limestone counters. Etches are chemical reactions that physically disrupt the surface causing ring marks and drips marks that make it look dirty and can not be removed with any level of cleaning. Etches can more easily be seen when looking at the counters at an angle. The disruption in the surface is a disruption in the shine.
Protect limestone backsplashes from splashes of hot oil when cooking. You can use a cutting board or some other barriers. Sealers can be used to reduce and prevent oil stains but unseen oil that sits on sealed limestone can still cause stains.
Elevate soap containers and other products that you use off the surface using trays. Liquid soap can damage the surface when it is allowed to sit there for long periods of time under soap bottles.
