This
group of natural stone distinguishes itself by:
- A
natural cleft, rough surface with slate and
quartzite.
- A
higher water absorption and lower resistance
to abrasion with sandstone, cantera, Indiana
Limestone. Both the natural cleft surface
and higher absorption make these materials
especially prone to staining (even during
installation), dirt retention, and wear.

Applications:
For kitchen and counter/vanity top installations, HMK® S37/S39 Sealers
are recommended for the best protection and ease of maintenance.
Note Pre-treating
these natural stones is advisable due to their
higher absorption and/or cleft surfaces.
S41
may be used to harden the stone.
