Caring For Your Stone

The natural beauty of stone will bring many years of enjoyment to your home . All stone must be properly cared for in order to maintain its natural beauty. Recommendations for routine care and cleaning include:

Sealing The Stone

A penetrating sealer should be applied to protect the stone. Penetrating sealers, also known as impregnators, protect the interior of the stone by permeating through the surface and bonding to the interior of the stone. The sealer acts as a repellent to prevent contaminants from absorbing into the stone.

To maintain maximum protection, it is recommended that a sealer be reapplied every 1 - 2 years.

Unique routinely seals all stone upon installation.

Daily Maintenance

Thoroughly rinse and dry the surface after washing
