Kitchens
Stone transforms a kitchen into an exceptionally attractive and durable
living space. Your favorite ingredients and most
trusted tools can seriously affect the stone and grout joints. A quality
stone care system minimizes stains from cooking oil, grease, vegetables,
coffee and tea, etch-marks from wine, vinegar, cola and citric acids, and
scratches from sharp objects.
Bathrooms/Spas
Luxurious baths and spas relax and rejuvenate you, and spacious, elegant counter
areas help start
the day with ease. A stone care system that cleans and protects against
hard water, cosmetics, soap scum deposit, and mildew will keep your surfaces
looking their best.
Foyers/Living
Areas
Natural stone compliments
the areas where you entertain most and display fine furniture and art. A comprehensive
stone care system protects against food spills, dulling, scratches and other
surface blemishes caused by daily wear from shoes and the tracking in of abrasive
particles.
Outdoors
Exterior stone makes a positive first impression. Incorporating a stone
care system to maintain its quality and protect it against the elements
is very important since water and moisture contribute significantly to
decay, efflorescence, mildew, and algae and wet/dry and freeze/thaw cycles
cause the stone to loosen/blister, and grout to crack.
