Typical Issues in Marble and Our Solutions
The possibility of staining is the most important factor to consider when maintaining Pietra Cardosa. It necessitates the use of a highly penetrating water-based sealer rather than synthetic or urethane sealers.
Dust, sand, and grit can scratch the surface of Pietra Cardosa over time or with heavy traffic and use, dulling the finish. We can repair virtually any type of damage, from chips and cracks to stain removal and more, and restore its honed or polished appearance.
Care and Maintenance of Grey Marble Stone:
Abrasion Resistance is Low
This material is prone to abrasion. When exposed to sand and other abrasives, light scratching will occur. As a result of the scratching, the finish will patina or dull over time. Always use a cutting board on countertops and walk-off mats at entrances when installing flooring.
Absorption is Moderate
This material absorbs at a slow to moderate rate. Prior to use, always seal this material. Always wipe up spills right away to reduce the appearance of stains. Oil and highly pigmented liquids can penetrate and stain the stone, necessitating the use of a poultice to remove it.
Acid Sense is Minimal
Acids have little effect on this material. When exposed to acidic liquids like lemons or tomatoes, it will not acid etch or lose its surface sheen.
All Exteriors must be Freeze-Thaw
This material is suitable for all exterior applications where freeze-thaw cycles are a concern due to its Minimal or Moderate Absorption rating, Abrasion Resistance rating, colour fastness, and tensile strength.
Is Cleaning Marble Stone Easy?
