This scenario was a large condo that had installed gray granite pavers. Gray pavers are the most difficult to protect. If the granite is not sealed soon after installation, it is a very porous but dense surface, and oils can be absorbed but are very difficult to remove. The result is black dots against a gray background. The stains really stand out. Keeping the very light gray tones is impractical in a vehicular setting. Ultimately, the gray becomes darker with tire marks and spotted oil stains. The choice comes down to either keeping the lighter gray stones with many black dots and frequent cleaning or darkening the stone altogether for a more unified look.

If this surface were to be ‘sealed’ with a penetrating sealer, this would keep the appearance relatively similar to the original gray surface; however, this would do very little to protect the surface. Another approach would have been to utilize any other type of conventional ‘surface sealer’, however, sealers by definition do not last long – typically 1-1.5ys. This is a very busy valet area, and not easily closed each year to clean & reapply a sealer. National Sealing was chosen to provide our durable COATING process, which is typically 3-4x more durable than common sealers.
