Author: chantal1059Subject: cracks in crema marfil counterPosted: 16 Dec 2009 at 6:58pm Thank you. He just put sealer on the crack which did NOT fix the problem. Went and bought another piece which was perfect. I was told at another granite/marble store that crema marafil has different levels of quality. Supposedly the one I originally bought (that had large crack) was lower quality. Not sure if this is true but the new piece (highest quality) had no cracks. I am still thinking the fabricator did the crack... chantal

Author: K CarpenterSubject: Adhesive stain on AlabasterPosted: 16 Dec 2009 at 1:21amI have an antique alabaster pedestal. At some time in the past, it has had an adhesive sticker (probably a price sticker) on it. The paper is long gone, but the perfect adhesive ghost still remains. Any thoughts or tips on removing this? Thanks, KevinEdited by findstone - 16 Dec 2009 at 12:39pm

Author: AlgernonSubject: scratches on silestonePosted: 11 Dec 2009 at 9:54amWhen choosing to remodel or build a kitchen or bathroom, natural stone is a fantastic choice for both beauty and durability. Natural stone is easy to maintain, clean and looks great with every style of decor. Not all stones are alike; however, granite, soapstone, and marble all have individual qualities. With the many different colors and options within each stone type, having access to a showroom with knowledgeable staff can ease the mind of a potentially frazzled consumer.

Travertine : travertine best stone for pool deck?
2024-12-11 07:01:28| Natural Stones | Stone Portal | Granite Tile | Granite | Marble | Granite Marble | Marble Granite | Marble and Granite | Granite and Marble | Stone Industry | RSS Feeds | www.findstone.com
Author: landscapeexpertSubject: travertine best stone for pool deck?Posted: 09 Dec 2009 at 5:38amTravertine pavers are ideal for outdoors. I read through some arguements later on this forum. I wanted to clarify a few things for the readers. I have been using travertine pavers since 2004 as a landscaper. From 2005 to 2007 I have imported them from Turkey directly myself. I have stopped importing because I am able to reach very good prices locally now and it did not make sense to order directly and carry all the inventory. I must start with saying that the best quality in the market right now is from Turkey. I have heard about travertine pavers from Peru, which finally I was able to see some 2 months ago, my thoughts are that although it has an interesting look, it is not durable at all. Peru is on a newer continent, where travertine has not completed its evolution process yet. It takes millions of years for travertine to develop. Other issue here is some thoughts on tumbled pavers and holes and etc. I must clarify: -Travertine pavers are ideal for outdoors -Tumbled travertine must be used for pool decks and decks to prevent slipping and also for irrigation purposes. -Chiseled travertine, no larger than 6x12 size, should be used for driveways. Chiseled edge is for the tires to grab on, and the honed surface is for not absorbing a potential oil spill immediately. -Travertine is a porous stone, but do not confuse pores with holes. Pores are necessary to prevent slips. Holes mean that the travertine is not premium grade. Make sure to ask your supplier that you want premium grade travertine pavers and nothing else. -Tumbled does not mean low quality. It means that the edges are rounded to prevent sharp corners and the surface is lightly aged for feet to grab on to the surface. If you need any further advise, feel free to contact me.

Marble Stains / Spots : marble spots from toothpaste?
2024-12-11 07:01:28| Natural Stones | Stone Portal | Granite Tile | Granite | Marble | Granite Marble | Marble Granite | Marble and Granite | Granite and Marble | Stone Industry | RSS Feeds | www.findstone.com
Author: cezzzSubject: marble spots from toothpaste?Posted: 08 Dec 2009 at 4:30pmYes it could as toothpaste is an abrasive. Try rubbing the toothpasteon something hard and with a high gloss and see the results. It alsohas some stain qualities so it could also stain the marble if not wipedup.Toothpaste is a very fine abrasive; I wouldn't recommend rubbing itharshly for removal. For cleaning/shining your Marble, I'd recommend"Gel Gloss"; it comes in a 'purple' can and can usually be found in adecent hardware dept....the marble will look better than brand new
