Tumbled Marble/Stone not only look beautiful, they are also very durable. To ensure their long-lasting beauty, a Preventive Maintenance Program is needed.

HMK's Three Step Program allows to properly

Kitchens
Tumbled marble/stone transforms a kitchen into an exceptionally attractive and durable living space, inspiring quality cuisine. 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
Tumbled marble/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.

Interior - Natural Look
This option applies to wet or dry installations. It leaves the stone looking natural with little or no effect on color.

Exterior - Natural Look:
In case of an exterior or wet area installation, you may only use an impregnator; sealers, finishes, and stains do not hold up in these areas and will create a serious slip hazard!

Interior - Oil & Wax Look:
This option applies to dry installations only. It enhances the texture and color of the stone and leaves a satin sheen. Re-application of HMK® P28 Wax Finish and P26 is periodically needed.

Interior - Antique Look:
This option applies to dry installations only. It creates a unique, century old stone look. As with the Oil & Wax Look, the Antique Look needs extra attention during application and periodic re-application of HMK® P25 B Finish.

* DO NOT use HMK® P28 and P30 as well as P25A & B in wet areas (showers, pool surrounds, etc), and all exterior installations, or on polished surfaces.
