For external areas we always recommend the use of a waterproofing agent. But be careful!

The waterproofing agent recommended for São Tomé is water-based. We do not recommend the use of resin, as it creates a film on the stone and does not penetrate, thus peeling over time and turning white, the maintenance will be much higher.

For waterproofing you can use Hidrofugante or a Quartzolit sealer.
