What are Stone Sealers?

Sealers, In simple tern are stain-proofing chemicals.

Usually a stone or Marble undergoes 3 basic process or application i.e. application of Sealer, Enhancer and Finally Restoration. Sealer as I said is done mainly for stain proofing, Enhancer are done to bring the the shine and luster of the stone. Any finally restoration is done to refurbish the marble or stone from scratches, chipping, cracks, etc. But out of there Restoration is the only process where sealing and polishing (enhancing) both process are done.

Well coming back to Sealer, Once Sealer is applied on Marble or Stone, its surface is free from any dust, stains, residues, impurities and also provides protection. Variety of Sealers Available in Market
