Rainbow indian sandstone - Treatment

[kkartz1]

I have just purchased 50m2 of Rainbow Indian Sandstone to replace some horrible old decking. I am a foster carer for autistic children and the effect of colour on these children is amazing. My current child cannot stop touching and clapping when he sees the slabs currently on their pallets when they are wet. So I would like some advice on a treatment/colour enhancer to keep this look when they are laid. After reading many articles online, I do find there are many options which I find confusing. Any advice or experienced findings would be extremely appreciated. Thanks

See this page and it might help explain why sealant recommendations are few and far between,

I also wrote a quick blog post a few week ago about sealing patios. We as a company never seal our products, only when used for interior use. As mentioned above if you buy a good quality product the paving, flagstone or cobble should last a life time without the need for treating http://www.westminsterstone.com/how-to-seal-a-patio/

Thanks gents. I think I will leave them without treatment and see how it goes.

rainbow is a very soft stone and will stain easily and mark easily so be careful with it
