The reason your stone floor is patchy

Updated: Sep 18, 2023

If you have noticed that your stone floor is peeling or patchy, you are not alone. It is a common problem due to incorrect sealer application.

Tilers that are inexperienced with stone tiles will often apply concrete, slate, and paving topical sealers that are incompatible with stone tiles. Stone requires a deep penetrating sealer that will absorb into the tile. Topical sealers will only sit on the surface of the tile and will eventually peel off.


If you have noticed this problem on your floor, you will need to call a stone restoration expert to rectify the issue. In some cases, you may need to grind the floor back to remove the old sealer and then reseal the floor. However, Opiela Tiling and Stone Restoration have developed a cost-effective solution for this issue. Call us for a free consult and we will advise you on the best solution for your stone type.
