Natural stone sealers protect granite, marble, limestone, travertine, slate and flagstone from water and oil stains, freeze-thaw and salt damage. Most are penetrating (impregnating) sealers that bond inside the stone and stay invisible, while colour enhancers deepen tone. StoneSealer Canada stocks Stain-Proof and Trident sealers and ships across Canada from BC.

Penetrating vs topical sealers
Penetrating sealers sit inside the pores, so nothing peels and the stone keeps breathing, which matters in Canadian freeze-thaw. Topical or film-forming sealers (such as the Trident urethanes) add gloss and are better suited to pavers and concrete than to polished stone.
FAQ
How often should granite be sealed?
Use the water-drop test: if drops soak in and darken the stone, clean and reseal. Stain-Proof penetrating sealers are designed for long-lasting repellency.
Does an impregnating sealer change colour?
Standard impregnating sealers are invisible. Choose a colour enhancing sealer for a richer tone.
Can I seal stone in winter?
Indoor stone can be sealed year round. For exterior stone, the surface must be clean and dry; follow the label for temperature limits.
What sealer is best for limestone near a pool or salted driveway?
Stain-Proof 40SK, which densifies soft stone and blocks salt.
Do you ship across Canada?
Yes, from our BC base, priced in CAD.
