Natural Stone Sealers

The Water Test

Do you know when natural stone sealers need to be applied to your granite, marble or other natural stone? Do you even need to apply a sealer to your stone? If you're not sure, try the water test.

It's simple, safe and effective.

The Water Test
Getting Started:
(Perform this test on stone that has already been installed.)
  1. Spill a few drops of water on your stone.
  2. Wait for approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Wipe it dry.

Test Results:
If your stone did not darken, this means it's perfectly sealed.

This test is well known in the stone industry and is used to determine if you need to seal your stone, when it needs to be resealed, and if your natural stone is perfectly sealed. You'll find more information on sealers here.
