How To Seal Flagstone
Frequently Asked Questions
Flagstone floors are robust and hard-wearing, but in order to maintain their freshness and to protect against unforeseen damage, it is recommended that the tile is sealed. A sealed floor will not only last longer but will repel spills and stains, requiring little maintenance and saving future expense.
How often do flagstone floors need resealing?
It depends how often you use the floor – but we tend to suggest you reseal it every three to five years.
Why do flagstone tiles need sealing?
Stone is porous, and has potential for staining – whether it’s spillages or muddy shoes. You can reduce the likelihood of staining by using a sealant.
Does sealing prevent stains on flagstone tiles?
It doesn’t guarantee you’ll never get a stain, but it certainly helps. You’ll have a longer reaction time – where you can clean up the spillage before it soaks into the floor.
