Durability

Selecting an appropriate finish for your natural stone will help preserve and maintain its beauty, while most finishes also add decorative texture and interest. Sandblasting techniques create small craters which add visual intrigue.

Domestic stone fabricators often employ closed loop water systems to recycle and reuse water during their fabrication processes, thereby significantly reducing consumption.

Light-colored varieties of natural stone have even been demonstrated to lower "heat island" effect by reflecting sunlight back onto buildings or sites, making it incredibly sustainable product option.

Maintenance

Regular dusting and washing of natural stone surfaces is all that's required to keep them looking their best. Use a soft duster, cloth, or brush to remove dry dirt, then wash with mild liquid detergents specially designed for stone such as soap and water - avoid acidic solutions which could react with calcareous stones and cause them to etch or dull significantly.

Kitchen countertops, backsplashes and bathroom vanity surfaces should be regularly wiped down after cooking or eating to prevent staining and moisture damage. Wet areas that produce soap scum should also be regularly treated with non-acidic soap scum remover.

Outdoor patios and tables covered with natural stone should be protected from direct contact by using trivets and heat-absorbing pads to absorb any direct heat coming from hot utensils, pans or pots by regularly applying trivets and marble wax on surfaces to seal them, keep sealants shiny and glossy and reduce scratch formation. A soft bristled brush may help minimize scratch formation on smooth surfaces like honing or polishing processes.
