Natural Stone FAQs
Why is it important to seal natural stone?
Natural stone, especially marble and travertine, is porous and will easily absorb spills, leading to deep, permanent stains. Sealing creates a protective barrier that repels liquids.
Is natural stone always colder than other flooring types?
Yes, stone has a high thermal mass, meaning it holds temperature well. It feels cool in the summer but can feel very cold in the winter. Many homeowners choose to install radiant floor heating beneath stone to counteract this.
