        "text": "Yes, sealing is typically recommended for most natural stone flooring types after installation. Sealers penetrate the stone to protect it from water absorption, staining, and etching from spills. While some dense stones like granite may be less porous, most marbles, travertines, and limestones benefit significantly from sealing. The frequency of re-sealing depends on the stone type, foot traffic, and the specific sealer used, usually every 1-3 years.",
