Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the optimal timing for sealing limestone floors, and how can I determine if my limestone floors currently require sealing? - Stripping and Sealing | Stripping and Sealing Limestone Floors

• A: The best time to seal your limestone floors is right after installation to provide immediate protection against accidental staining or damage. As for determining if your limestone floors currently require sealing, keep an eye out for patchy areas on the floor where the sealant may have worn off.
