The Best Sandstone Patio Sealers — Unlock Lasting Protection and Beauty
Stop Your Sandstone from Fading — Start Sealing the Right Way
Sun, rain, dirt, and algae are no friends to your patio. Without the right protection, even beautiful Indian sandstone can fade, stain, and erode. That’s where sealing becomes essential — but not just any sealer will do.
Meet two professional-grade sealers that transform and protect your sandstone surface: HR Colour Enhancer and HR Total Finish Matt.
Which Sandstone Sealer Should You Choose?
| Product | Finish | Key Benefit | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| HR Colour Enhancer | Satin/Enhanced | Revives colour and adds a natural sheen | Bold, rich, vibrant finish |
| HR Total Finish Matt | Invisible Matt | Provides protection without changing appearance | Subtle, natural, uncoated look |
Both sealers are:
- 🇬🇧 Made in the UK
- Easy to apply
- Water-repellent & breathable
- Dirt, oil, and grime resistant
- Long-lasting with deep penetrating protection
Why Sealing Indian Sandstone is a Must
If you’ve invested in a natural stone patio, sealing is the smartest way to:
- Prevent colour fading due to UV exposure
- Stop algae and black spots from returning
- Make cleaning dramatically easier
- Protect against water, oil, and stain damage
Letting your patio go unsealed can turn a beautiful stone into a maintenance headache.

HR Stone Guard Sealers
Choosing the right sealer for your patio not only enhances its beauty but also ensures its longevity. While traditional sealers require long curing times and specific conditions, HR Colour Enhancer and HR Total Finish Matt revolutionize this by offering flexibility and superior performance from day one. Let’s dive into your most pressing questions about patio sealers, especially why HR sealers stand out in the market.
Why is there usually a recommended waiting period before sealing a patio?
Most sealers require a waiting period of 3, 6, or 9 months after patio installation. This allows the stone to fully settle and release any residual moisture. Applying sealer too soon can trap this moisture, leading to damage such as discoloration and physical degradation. This period ensures that the stone’s pores are clear, allowing the sealer to bond effectively and protect the surface.
What are the common issues with traditional sealers?
Traditional sealers, including acrylic, polyurethane, and impregnating types, often fall short because they require perfect application conditions. They may not adhere well if the stone isn’t completely dry or if the weather is too cold, which makes timing the application tricky. These sealers can also be challenging to apply, requiring professional installation to ensure they work effectively.
How do HR Colour Enhancer and HR Total Finish Matt differ from other sealers?
HR sealers are designed to overcome the limitations of traditional products. They can be applied just one day after patio installation, work effectively on damp surfaces, and can be used in temperatures as low as 3 degrees Celsius. This makes them incredibly versatile and user-friendly, even for DIY enthusiasts.
Can HR sealers be used on all types of patios?
Absolutely! Whether your patio is made of Sandstone, Indian Sandstone, Limestone, Black Limestone, Slate, Block Pavers, Granite, Travertine, or Porcelain, there is an HR sealer suitable for each type. These sealers are formulated to enhance the natural beauty of the stone while providing durable protection against the elements.
Are there specific advantages to using HR sealers immediately after installation?
One of the main advantages is that you don’t have to wait months to protect your investment. Immediate application means your patio is safeguarded against stains, weather, and wear from the outset. Additionally, because HR sealers can handle damp conditions and low temperatures, they are ideal for use in various climates and seasons.
Seal your patio the right way
HR Colour Enhancer and HR Total Finish Matt are not just sealers; they are your patio’s best defense against the elements and time. With their advanced formulation and ease of application, they stand out as the best choice for anyone looking to protect and enhance their outdoor living spaces.

I’ve just laid a 40m2 of Indian Sandstone so which sealer will I need please to bring out the colour permanently
Hi Brandon,
Thanks for your question, and well done on completing your patio — Indian Sandstone is a beautiful choice.
To bring out the natural colours permanently and give it that deep, enriched finish, we recommend our HR Colour Enhancer. It’s designed specifically for porous stone like Indian Sandstone and will not only enhance the tones but also protect the surface from weathering, staining, and general wear over time.
You can apply it yourself with a roller or low-pressure sprayer — just make sure the surface is fully clean and dry before sealing for the best result.
