One of the main penetrating questions that gets asked is, "Should marble be sealed? But we are going to consider not only he answer, but also the reasons for the answer in this section of our discussion.
The simple answer given by the Natural Stone Institute to the question, "Should natural stone counters be sealed? There they give the following answer:. Now you get an idea of why some say that natural marble should be sealed and why others simply recommend a different material. In reality, the answer to whether you need to seal marble depends on a number of factors; one of which being whether the stone has already been sealed.
Other factors will contribute to the answer too. But remember the statement quoted above, "it makes sense to seal marble". Another related question to ask would be, "Will sealing marble hurt it? And since sealing marble can actually be a DIY project, many opt for this route. But even if you decide to seal marble surfaces, other questions arise. We have already answered the question, "Does marble have to be sealed? The frequency with which to seal marble is dependent upon certain factors.
There are some things that will influence how often marble sealant needs to be applied. A simple way to determine if it is time to seal your marble surface is to put a small puddle of water on the surface, if the water begins to be absorbed by the stone quickly, then it is time to add marble sealer to the stone.
Adding marble sealer will slow the rate of absorption way down so that the owner will have plenty of time to wipe up any spills that could stian or damage the marble. Now that we have covered how to tell if a marble surface needs sealed, let's look at some factors that will affect how often a given slab needs to be sealed. Marble sealers penetrate the surface of a slab and form a barrier beneath the surface of the stone that inhibits absorption.
However, using the wrong cleaner can effectively completely undo all of the work that goes into sealing the stone. Some cleaners that are not made for cleaning sealed stone, will breakdown the sealer's barrier and basically remove the sealer.
Another thing to keep in mind when determining how often marble needs sealed is the kind of sealer that will be used. There are various types of marble sealer just like there are various types of granite sealer.
Both impregnating sealer for marble and topical marble sealers are to common ones used. The idea is to choose the best marble sealer for the stone that is being sealed. So what is the best sealer for marble? Much like the question about how often to seal the surface, determining the best marble sealers to use will be affected by many other factors.
We will consider a couple of the big ones in this part of the discussion. These factors ave to do with the finish and the location of the surface. But there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to sealing marble shower tiles. Degradation of the stone would cause a lot of problems and require you to replace the tiles in your shower. Additionally, you typically need to seal marble to prevent staining, and you are very unlikely to stain the marble tiles in your shower with just regular bath products.
Plus, the frequently running water in your shower is likely to remove anything that could possibly stain the tiles. There are a few different circumstances that will require you to seal marble shower tiles. The first instance is when you have put white marble in your shower. White marble, including Carrara and Calcutta marbles, often contain small deposits of iron.
