Marble Disclaimer "*" indicates required fields Marble Disclosure Agreement* I understand that marble is prized for its aesthetic appeal, accentuated by distinct veining and often bold colors, however, marble is minimally softer than granite and can scratch if abused by household appliances and or cooking tools. It is best to use a cutting board on marble and all stones when preparing food. Marble can be etched by acidic foods and or harsh chemicals. For this reason, in kitchen environments we put a satin (honed) finish on all countertops within the cooking area. For vanities and other tops outside the cooking area, gloss finish is acceptable. The honed finished applied in our shop, minimizes etching that occurs on marble countertops, giving you the best of both worlds and allowing you to enjoy your countertops with minimal maintenance. Marble will come to you sealed with our exclusive sealer “permaseal” . This sealer eliminates all stains that would otherwise occur under normal use. This sealer lasts 3 years at which point you will need to either call us to reapply or order sealer and have a diy weekend. Either way, you will be able to cook with oils and use red wine without issue or worry of staining occurring during the warranty period. The underside of marble is not polished. Marble backsplashes are more fragile than the countertops because of their small size. Backsplashes that are long and thin have a tendency to break. Therefore, there may be seams in the backsplash that do not coincide with the seams in the countertop. Most marble applications contain seams. All seams are seen and felt. Seams in white marble will appear more noticeable. Seam sizes range in width and can be as much as 1/8”. This seam size is standard and acceptable in the industry. Your marble countertops will come with a standard round over edge. All other edges are discouraged as they can be prone to chipping on the leading edge. So just relax! The best advise we can give you is to relax. Marble is a great product for the home and has been done in both commercial environments (every mall floor you ever saw) and residential environments. Europe is covered in marble and has been for 100’s of years at this point. At the end of the day you have the stone gallery here to help if you or your visiting grandma did something to the marble. Chances are we can repair it… Thank you for your purchase.I understand that marble is prized for its aesthetic appeal, accentuated by distinct veining and often bold colors, however, marble is minimally softer than granite and can scratch if abused by household appliances and or cooking tools.
