Using Colour Enhancing Sealer in the Canadian climate
The sealer is breathable, so water vapour leaves the stone freely and is not trapped to freeze. Stain-Proof states water and oil repellency lasts about 5 years; enhancement varies by material and exposure, and can be refreshed with another coat.
