  • Maintenance strategy

The sealer should be:

  • Suitable for limestone
  • Tested on samples
  • Compatible with wet areas where relevant
  • Compatible with the cleaning programme
  • Applied according to the manufacturer’s instructions

Sealing does not replace correct design, waterproofing or maintenance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Recommended maintenance practices include:

  • Use pH-neutral natural stone cleaners
