However, because it is comprised of brick pavers, staining, efflorescence and other damage is a constant issue. STAIN-PROOF Original™ was selected for the project because it protects against water and oil based stains, and damaged caused by water ingress including efflorescence, picture framing and spalling.

The NIST Stone Wall

At 40 feet long and 13 feet high the National Institute of Stone Test Wall is an impressive sight. What makes this monument unique is its purpose. The Wall was constructed to examine the effects weathering has on stone. There are over 2000 stones from across the United States and 16 countries around the world. The range is diverse; on the same stretch of wall you could find sandstone from Kentucky next to a piece of granite from Finland. Located in Maryland, USA the Stone Wall was built in 1942 and to this day is still an important resource for developing stone care techniques.
