Brushed Marble

Hi
Does anyone know if Brushed Marble needs sealing.The customer is under the impression it doesnt. Cant see it myself. Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes it does , brushed is only an effect and not a seal.

Thanks for the response.

Brushed marble, like honed is more susceptable to staining, as the polishing process, in effect increases the surface density, and temporarily creates a surface that holds moisture longer, giving you more time, before the stain ingresses, brushed stone firstly in its raw state will greedily suck on the moisture penetrating the surface and secondly is harder to remove due to the texture. Yes requires sealing, and more thoroughly than polished or satin effect.
