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.
