Tempered Glass Characteristic
Due to the manufacturing process, glass will tend to have a greenish tint, this is a
natural feature and is not considered a defect. As a result of the tempering
process or otherwise, color variations in glass may occur in certain products.
Stone Characteristics
Color and Pattern Variations in stone are a natural occurrence. Natural occurring
stone characteristics such as variations in grain, color, mineral streaks are not
considered as defective product.
Marble is a calcium-rich stone, porous and susceptible to expansion. When spills
are left on a marble countertop, they seep into the pores. Over time, this leads to
cracks. It's important to wipe up any spills immediately, then wipe the area with a
little water and dry immediately.
Never allow wet dishes, glasses or water to stand on a marble countertop for any
length of time. Water will seep into the stone and leave a permanent ring to
remind you where the water was. This is caused by a permanent change in the
marble's composition and can only be removed by professional polishing. You'll
need to select a cleaning solution that is made specifically for cleaning marble.
Most regular household cleaners contain acid, which can damage the finish.
Cleaners with citric acid must be avoided. Neutral cleaners, such as phosphate-
free solutions or dishwashing liquids, will work in a pinch. The trick to using any
cleaning agent on your countertop is to rinse the soap off immediately with warm
water to avoid drying out the marble.
A stone sealer is recommended to be used every 6 months for added protection.
However, depending on use, sealing may be needed more frequently.
