The original catalog recommended sealing stone surfaces to help protect against spills and stains, with sealers available in matte or gloss finishes. That advice still applies to many stones, especially near kitchens, pools and outdoor dining areas. Choose a breathable, penetrating sealer appropriate for the stone and location.
It also reminded buyers that natural stone is a product of nature: it varies in color, hardness, density and slip resistance, and some stones can bleed rust tones from iron content. Those variations are part of its character, which is why it pays to view samples and blend stone from several crates during installation.

Often, but not always. Dense stones may perform well unsealed, while porous stones and stone in kitchens, pool areas or outdoor dining spaces usually benefit from a breathable penetrating sealer.
Stone forms over geological time, so color, veining, hardness and density vary between quarries and even within one block. View samples and blend stone during installation for an even result.
