The Benefits of Protective Stone Treatments in Coastal Areas

Living near the ocean in New Zealand is a dream, but salt, moisture, and harsh UV rays can quickly damage unprotected stone surfaces. Protective treatments are the best way to keep your stone looking beautiful and structurally sound.

Common Coastal Issues

• Salt build-up causing flaking and crumbling

• Moisture ingress leading to mould or staining

• Sunlight fading and discolouring stone surfaces

• Erosion of exterior facades and paving
  

How Treatments Help

• Hydro-repellent coatings block moisture.

• Anti-salt sealers prevent crystallisation and damage.

• UV-stable treatments protect against colour fading.

• Anti-graffiti coatings safeguard exposed commercial properties.

Where They’re Essential

• Exterior cladding and facades

• Pool surrounds and patios

• Outdoor paving and walkways

• Balconies and feature walls

For homeowners in Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Auckland, and other coastal towns, professional stone treatments are an investment in long-term protection.
