Sealing Natural Stone around the Pool Altona - Melbourne

Natural stone is naturally resistant to mold and bacteria, making it an excellent choice for pool surrounds in Altona.

Sealing natural stone is crucial to maintain the pristine condition of your pool area. When properly sealed and maintained, outdoor natural stone in Altona requires minimal upkeep and boasts a lifetime of durability.

It's recommended to apply a deep-penetrating sealant to natural stone surfaces in Altona once they're installed. In areas near saltwater, such as around a pool or close to the beach, consider dip sealing pavers on all six sides to minimize the potential effects of efflorescence.

Does outdoor natural stone really need to be sealed in Altona?
Absolutely! With numerous advantages, it's a wise decision.

Natural stone varies in hardness and is inherently porous. If you apply water to an unsealed natural stone surface in Altona, it will be absorbed quickly. The porosity of natural stone is also influenced by the finish—for instance, highly polished natural stone is less porous compared to natural stone with a honed (matte) finish.

Natural stone pavers excel when sealed, whether used for walkways, pool surrounds, courtyards, garden pathways, patios, or driveways.

Here is a list of the benefits associated with sealing your outdoor natural stone in Altona:
  • Prevents Stains
  • Prevents Discoloration
  • UV Protection against Sun Damage
  • Preserves the Color
  • Does Not Alter the Coefficients of Friction, or Slip Factor
  • Extends the Life of Your Pavers
  • Reduces Mold and Algae Growth
  • Assists in Eliminating the Occurrence of Efflorescence
  • Protect Your Pavers
  • Enhance the Look of Your Natural Stone with a Penetrating Color Enhancing Sealer

If your outdoor natural stone in Altona is sealed, substances cannot quickly penetrate the surface, so wiping them as soon as you notice any potential stain is all that's needed.

Australian made penetrating, impregnating sealers are perfectly suited for outdoor natural stone.

Deep impregnating sealers are suitable for both internal and external natural stone applications in Altona, making them ideal for use in wet rooms and swimming pool surrounds.

Incorrect use of sealers can hasten the decay of poolside paving, as some may trap salt within the stone.

It's important to avoid using topical sealers outdoors in Altona, as they can create dangerously slippery surfaces and hinder moisture escape from the stone, leading to erosion.

Outdoor natural stone in Altona faces various risks, including exposure to:
  • Oil
  • Dirt
  • Rust
  • Grease from the BBQ
  • Food and drinks
  • Sunscreen
  • Fading from sunlight exposure
  • Erosion from rain, particularly affecting softer materials like brick and marble
  • Acids (such as vinegar, coffee, orange juice, soft drinks, beer)
  • Organic stains from decomposing matter like leaves, bird or animal droppings, flowers, tea, or coffee.

Outdoor natural stone surfaces in Altona are susceptible to deterioration caused by moisture, rain, foot traffic, UV rays, chemicals, and other impurities like oil, grease, acids, and salt. This can result in common issues such as cracking, pitting, spalling, dusting, discoloration, efflorescence, and salt damage.

Ensuring your natural stone is thoroughly cleaned before sealing is important, as you may seal in old stains or dust and debris embedded in the stone, resulting in the sealer needing to be stripped and resealed.

Applying a sealer that is not suitable or of sufficient quality will result in natural stone surfaces you aren't completely satisfied with.
