I have a customer who has about 1000 square feet of
sandstone in a flagstone design, on a
cement slab and with mortar joints. The installation is
outside on a covered patio. The
residence in located in New Mexico along the Rio Grande
river and the water table is
about 8 – 10 feet. The owner want a finish on the
sandstone and she’s being very specific
about what she wants. I not aware of any products that would
meet her expectations, so
I thought I would ask for recommendations.
Here’s
what she wants:
1.) The
stone darkened “wet look”
2.) The
stone sealed
3.) A
shinny finish
All of the products that I’m aware of are topical and
will not allow vapor transmissions.
I see problems with applying anything other than a penetrating
sealer or enhancer.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, work is scarce here and I
want to
explore every possible job.
Thanks,
