Finish
The factory applied nish on all Viatera slabs is a polished nish. The quartz in the material takes a high polish,
however the polyester resin binder does not. Therefore the overall gloss level on a Viatera slab will be between
47 and 57, as measured with a gloss meter. By comparison, a slab of granite will generally register between 80
and 90 on a gloss meter. As a result of the manufacturing process small voids can occur, ranging in size from
microscopic to 1.5 mm (the size of a pin head). These in no way affect the integrity of the slab nor do they have
any impact on the porosity of the material as they do not extend more than 1 mm in depth. Do not apply waxes
or sealers to the Viatera surface. These products will not absorb into the material and will only cause a build up
on the surface.
Seams
Individual Viatera pieces must be seamed together using an epoxy resin. The seam can be color matched to the
material, however it will be visible. A well executed seam will be smooth but can be felt. Due to slight thickness
variations and tolerances, it is also possible that one side of the seam may be slightly raised.
