Protect Dense Stone Surfaces with TSSPro100 Penetrating Sealer

Posted on August 20, 2025 by TSS Pro Sealants

TSSPro100 Sealant Protects Dense Stone Surfaces

TSSPro100 protects dense stone surfaces by penetrating deep into the pores and creating a lasting shield against water, stains, and environmental damage. Designed as a solvent-based penetrating sealer, TSSPro100 is especially effective on flagstone, slate, and travertine — stones that are naturally dense and benefit from protection without altering their appearance. Unlike film-forming products that sit on the surface, TSSPro100 absorbs into the stone, locking out moisture while keeping the natural color and texture intact. It has been praised by contractors for its reliability, often lasting 7 to 8 years on uncovered patios, making it one of the most dependable products in the TSSPro lineup.

Why TSSPro100 Stands Out

Dense stones present a unique sealing challenge. Because they don’t absorb as easily as porous stones, many water-based or weaker sealers fail to penetrate deeply enough to provide meaningful protection. TSSPro100 solves this problem with a solvent-based formula that drives into the stone’s microscopic openings, creating a strong internal barrier.

This invisible barrier prevents water from entering and staining agents from soaking in, all while leaving the stone’s natural beauty untouched. The stone still looks like stone, but it resists weathering, staining, and the cycle of water damage that often shortens the lifespan of outdoor stonework.

Another reason contractors value TSSPro100 is its longevity. Feedback has shown it can last nearly a decade outdoors before reapplication, which makes it a cost-effective solution for homeowners who want protection without frequent maintenance.

Where TSSPro100 Performs Best

TSSPro100 is designed for dense stone surfaces, making it ideal for:

  • Flagstone patios and walkways where durability and natural beauty matter.
  • Slate floors both indoors and outdoors.
  • Travertine pool decks and courtyards, offering water repellency without altering the finish.
  • Outdoor kitchens built with dense natural stone.
  • Entryways and courtyards exposed to heavy foot traffic and weather.

Because TSSPro100 does not change the appearance of the stone, it is frequently used in high-end residential projects, historic restorations, and architectural applications where aesthetics are as important as performance.

Application Tips for Best Results

  1. Ensure the stone is fully dry and clean before applying.
  2. Apply in temperatures between 55°F and 90°F.
  3. Use a brush, roller, or sprayer for even coverage.
  4. If the sealer absorbs into the stone in less than a minute, apply a second coat.
  5. Allow 24 hours of curing time before heavy use or exposure to water.

These steps ensure TSSPro100 bonds properly and achieves its maximum lifespan.

Contractor Feedback on TSSPro100

Contractors repeatedly highlight Pro100’s dependability. Unlike some products that promise long-term performance but fail after a few seasons, this sealer consistently provides excellent results. The manufacturer calls it a “banger” — a product that reliably delivers and gets strong feedback from the field.

Homeowners appreciate that it maintains the stone’s natural look while extending its life, and contractors appreciate how easy it is to apply and reapply. With solvent-based penetration, there’s no need for stripping, saving time and labor costs during maintenance cycles.
