My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Exposed stone question...

13 years ago
Hi - lovely work! Did you put anything on the exterior/outside of the the exposed stone to protect it, and if not, how do you cope with condensation, etc, on the interior surface in the winter/cold?

    By using an Impreginating sealer and not a topical you will never have to reseal again!

      Thank you for the kind words. There is not a condensation issue at all with this look. You can put a stone sealer on the interior face of a stone wall. That will help with small pieces flaking off over time.

      Thank you for responding. Is there any particular brand, or type, of stone sealer you would recommend?

      where did you get the stone wall ?
    • 10 years ago

      could you please tell me more about the lighting on the stone wall? My husband built an outdoor fountain with the same aesthetic and we'd like to illuminate it and love the look of what you've done with this wall. Thanks!
