FAQ > Clearstone Coating > Why use a coating system on stone?
The standard way of protecting stone is to apply ‘sealers’.
There is no sealer that can prevent ‘etching’, or for that matter, fill all the imperfections in the surface of the stone that can harbour bacteria. If you look closely at the natural stone’s surface it is full of open fissures, cavities, cracks and faults that look, from a distance, like dull areas on the surface or a different coloured vein that is a softer material than the main stone. These imperfections add to the stone’s aesthetic appearance and can be the reason for choosing the stone in the first place.
CLEARSTONE puts a barrier over the entire surface like a layer of thin clear liquid glass filling the imperfections leaving a smooth surface that prevents any materials/chemicals from coming in contact with the natural stone’s surface.
