Nano Beads +
Sealing Travertine, Sealing Marble, Sealing Limestone Pavers

National Sealing is the Largest Paver Sealing Co. in the US. We mobilize throughout the US sealing all types of Natural Stone including Travertine Pavers, Marble Decks, Sealing Limestone, Sealing Stamped Concrete. We offer various solutions for Travertine Sealing, Limestone Sealing, Marble Deck Sealing, Sealing Cement Decks for both commercial and residential applications. For over 20+ years, we combine a few applications in a particular city to make it work for all parties.

There are many options when Sealing Travertine, Marble, Limestone Pavers. We are happy to perform either one, so we are not biased, although you will see there tends to be a more logical approach – probably 90% of the applications utilize our third option; 3 – Part Coating + Nano Non Slip Beads.

Option1. Penetrating / Impregnating Sealer

The most basic form of Sealing Travertine / Sealing Marble / Sealing Limestone is with a Penetrating Sealer or Impregnating Sealer. Although the Travertine is technically sealed, the surface of the stone is still exposed. The surface will still be susceptible to staining, good chance that it will be slick, and more importantly exposed to certain fading. Where you really start to see the effects of fading when there is a protected / shaded area i.e. patio. In as little as 2 years there will be a very distinct line between the shaded area and the larger exposed area of the Travertine. We often hear of pool building companies offering the Penetrating Sealer/Impregnating Sealer approach. Applying a Penetrating Sealer to exterior Travertine can be a fatal mistake. Once it’s faded due to the surface not being protected you can’t turn back the clock. For salt water pools especially, added surface protection is needed to preserve the stone from degradation from the salts.

Option 2. Sealing Travertine, Marble, Limestone Pavers with a Topical Sealer

Topical Sealing of travertine is the second option. A topical Sealer builds a barrier between the sun and the stone to help limit staining and fading. That’s the good news. The bad news is; applying topical protection will make the surface slick. The surface protection now needs some type of non slip component. This is where it gets complicated. A lot of folks will try to create a non slip surface using common play sand or a ‘Shark’ type product to create a Non Slip surface. We field a dozen calls per day from people that have tried using a common Sealer + Shark products to create a Non Slip Profile. We started out 20 years ago with this as well, so we speak from experience. Since we do so many commercial applications, we found out pretty quickly that the particles in Play Sand or the Shark products work on a very limited basis, but not for long. The particles are very soft, very brittle, very light to begin with. Then you are faced with annual re-application and begin layering Sealer year after year. With this, you risk the Sealer failing and costly removal. We can certainly perform the Topical Sealer + non slip additive, but there is a better solution.

Option3. NS-200 3-Part Coating + NANO BEADS

The third option for Sealing Travertine, Marble, Limestone Pavers and creating a Non Slip surface is our Durable 3-Part Coating + Nano Beads. This Coating when combined with our Nano Beads is the Most Durable Non Slip application available in the US, and is 3 – 5x More Durable than using Common Sealer.

• Coating enhances unsealed stone more than Sealer
• Coating is 3 – 5x More Durable than Sealers
• Durable Nano Beads; Most Durable Non Slip in US
• Topical Treatment – prevents Fading, Staining, Degradation of Stone
• More Resistant to Salts, and harsh chemicals
• Coating can be re-applied. Less risk of ‘sealers’ failing, stripping in future
• Sealers – costly annual re-application
