Rustic paving is extremely beautiful, but it is also absorbent and stains.

Exposed brick façades are beautiful, but also absorbent; they must withstand graffiti, they get damp with the rain or dissolve due to atmospheric contamination.

ALL these problems can be avoided by using the appropriate protective treatment: shiny waxes for interior use or invisible water-repellent liquids or anti-graffiti products, etc.
