Donnybrook Stone is a versatile and durable sandstone originating near the town of Donnybrook in Western Australia. Donnybrook Stone is available in colour variations ranging from white to beige to deep pink. Donnybrook Stone produces excellent floor tiles, cladding material and looks fantastic around the swimming pool and elsewhere in the garden; large structural walls, commercial facades and entire buildings are found made entirely from Donnybrook Stone.
Donnybrook Stone flooring is porous and prone to scratching, staining and fracturing. Donnybrook Stone also needs to be allowed to breath instead of being covered by synthetic sealers or urethane. Our experienced technicians offer the best solutions to protect your Donnybrook Stone by using highly penetrating impregnating sealers.
The primary cause for polished stone surfaces becoming dull is foot traffic. Prolonged foot traffic grinds and packs in dust, sand, and grit. Although the scratching that occurs is very fine, it eventually covers the majority of the surface and over time dulls the finish to the point where it loses its reflective properties. To make your stone surfaces smooth and reflective, we employ the use of high speed polishers.
All natural stone is porous to different degrees. To protect your Donnybrook Stone an impregnating sealer should be applied which is similar to a topical sealer but doesn't create a film on top of the stone, instead it sits within the stones pores.
The idea of using sealers on the stone surface is to prevent water and oils from penetrating the porous structure of Donnybrook Stone, which eventually leads to stains, cracks, weathering, and deterioration. Sealing your stone and/or grout helps prevent & reduce staining by providing a barrier against stain carrying substances.
