Colored Sealants With Granite and Marble Cladding Panels
Highly polished marble and granite panels appear to have surfaces that are completely smooth and even. An up-close view, however, would reveal that this is not the case. There are many tiny openings and pits on the surfaces of both types of stone. Because of this porosity, using sealants is a good approach to keeping granite and marble cladding panels in excellent condition.
Benefits of Sealing Granite and Marble Cladding Panels
Granite and marble are very different types of stone in terms of both their appearance and their properties, but sealing either type results in similar benefits. Sealed marble and granite cladding panels:
- Better resist staining
- Repel grease, dirt, and oil
- Better resist scratches
- Prevent water absorption
- Resist weathering
- Have an altered/improved appearance (if a color-enhancing sealant is used)
