Tumbled
stone and marble not only look beautiful, they are also very
hard and durable. To ensure their long-lasting beauty, a Preventive
Maintenance Program is needed.
HMK's Three
Step Program allows to properly
(1) Clean
the tumbled stone/marble after installation
(2) Protect
it against dirt, food, and liquids
(3) Maintain
its natural beauty in an easy, safe and economical
way

*DO
NOT use Sealers (S35, S37, S39)
in wet areas (showers, pool surrounds, etc), for exterior
installations, or on polished surfaces.
New: S44
Color Enhancer. If color
enhancement/darkening is desired, use
S44 instead of S34.
Applications:
Both "looks" are applicable, though
the Exterior/Interior Look is the preferred one for commercial
installations because of ease of application and ongoing
maintenance.
Interior
and Exterior:
This finishing and caring approach is the simplest
for both. Note: In case of an exterior
or wet area installation, you may only use an impregnator.
Sealers (S35,
S37, S39), finishes, and stains will not hold up in these
areas and will create a serious slip hazard!
Interior - Oil & Wax Look:
This option applies to interior, dry installations only. It enhances
the texture and color of the tumbled marble and leaves a satin
sheen. It is a more complicated approach and needs periodic
re-application of HMK® P28 Wax Finish and P26 Care.
