When Marbella is sealed properly it wont stain. A simple 5-11 sealer will do the job. Marbella is more compact than other shellstones, which means less voids. With proper sealing, no water should penetrate which will prevent any mold from occurring.
Installation
Our Marbella tiles and pavers are calibrated so they can be installed with no grout joints and because Marbellas tone and characteristics are consistent with every piece you wont have to worry about replacements. A sample of Marbella that was handed out 10years ago would look virtually the same as a sample that is handed out today.This isnt the case with many Travertines or Pre-Cast pavers. Marbella pavers are perfect for patios, gardens and pool decks because they have very low heat absorption and wont get burning hot like travertine, granite, marble and concrete.
