More porous stones can absorb liquids due to the tiny pores that are present in the stone. This makes them more susceptible to staining and weathering, and therefore less durable and considerably harder to maintain. Specially engineered nanocoatings offer a durable, protective, breathable top layer, which protects the stone from most external damaging agents.

Less-porous stones have a denser composition that naturally repels water and resists staining to some degree. And yet, there can be tarnished by stains, eroded by weather, chipped or scratched through significant usage. We provide bespoke nanocoating solutions which protect against these, sustaining the natural appearance and enhancing the lifespan and integrity of your stones.
