Question 2

Does Jaffa Limestone need to be sealed?

Accepted Answer

As Reconsitiuted Limestone is a manufactured product and does not turn black with age as natural limestone can. It does however, discolour as a result of other elements such as mineral deposits in bore water or mineral deposits/dirt transported by wind or other means. Sealing will reduce the likelihood of discolouration. We recommend using a penatration selaer over a surface sealer.
