I have flagstone around my pool that needs to sealed but I don’t want it to be slippery. What sealant would you recommend? It’s currently chipping. We live in San Antonio and it’s exposed to full sun. Thank you!
Hello from San Diego! We installed Antique Black Limestone coping around our pool. We have noticed that when wet it's the beautiful black color we wanted. However, when dry, it's a chalky, charcoal grey color. Can you recommend a color enhancer sealer brand to assist in getting the dry color deeper. We are not looking for a "wet look". We only want the color to be deeper and/or darker. Thank you!
Hi there! If you are looking to enhance the look of your natural stone, we recommend Rockstar Sealing Stone Enhancer. This is an ideal sealer if you are looking to deepen the color of your stone. It's even weather-resistant and UV-stable, so it is perfect for an outdoor pool setting. Go to the link below to check it out!

@@santabarbarastonemasters2025 Excellent! One more question. The pool is salt water. Is this product okay to use on the coping? Or will it react with the salt water?
@@nicoledavis6116 Ah, so unfortunately you do not want to use this sealer in a salt water environment. What we would recommend is the Dry Treat 40sk sealer. This will help prevent any deterioration www.drytreat.com/sealers/residential/40sk.html
I just installed travertine coping on pool and flagstone on the patio. What sealer do you recommend? I live in TX with high temperatures during summer. 100F + I want a natural look.
Rockstar Sealing Natural Finish Stone Sealer is what is recommended in wet environments! It is a penetrating sealer, doesn’t change the look or feel, and reduces water intake by 97%! You can get it here: www.rockstarsealing.com/products/natural-finish-stone-sealer If applied by an accredited applicator it will have a warranty so you may want to hire someone!
Unfortunately, we still have yet to make a video of that sort. But here is some information that might help! Flagstone is notorious for chipping and spalling. Flagstone is made up of sand, so water, the elements, and the weather can cause it to break down over time. You cannot fix the chipping, but you can stop it from continuing, or at least stall it. Dry Treat’s 40 SK is a densifying sealer that penetrates deep into the pores of the stone and hardens it, making it stronger and helping it last longer. Hope this helps!
How to choose a sealer depends on several factors, and we would need more information to give a specific answer. What is the aesthetic you are looking for? What type of stone do you have? What is the environment the stone is in? (Inside? Outside?) In the kitchen or bathroom (water environment) or in the living room? Sealers that are “slippery” are generally topical. Proper application methods can mitigate the slip coefficient, but you need to ensure you are using the correct sealer on the right floor type. Impregnating sealers penetrate the stone and do not change the slip coefficient. However, this type of sealer is not always the best choice. What is your project? If you give a little more information we will try to help!

Yes, please make a video on repairing chipped flagstone. Would appreciate it.
What a good sealer that's not slippery?
How to choose a sealer depends on several factors, and we would need more information to give a specific answer.
What is the aesthetic you are looking for?
What type of stone do you have?

Sealers that are “slippery” are generally topical. Proper application methods can mitigate the slip coefficient, but you need to ensure you are using the correct sealer on the right floor type.
Impregnating sealers penetrate the stone and do not change the slip coefficient. However, this type of sealer is not always the best choice.
