Info: Protecting Calacatta Lincoln marble countertops with MORE® AntiEtch™
Background
Our client, a homeowner with a passion for luxurious aesthetics and high-end materials, recently completed a kitchen renovation project. As part of this upgrade, they installed stunning Calacatta Lincoln marble countertops. This exquisite marble is celebrated for its pristine white background, highlighted by dramatic veins in shades of gold, brown, and grey.
Challenges Faced
While the new countertops elevated the kitchen’s elegance, marble’s natural porosity and calcium composition made them highly susceptible to staining and acid etching. The client wanted to enjoy their newly renovated space without constant worry about potential damage.
Client’s Solution
To safeguard their investment, the client sought our expertise as certified applicators of MORE® AntiEtch™. This advanced treatment provides an invisible, long-lasting protective coating that prevents both stains and acid etching. Trusting our experience, the client was confident we could deliver the protection they needed for their prized Calacatta Lincoln marble countertops.
Implementation Process
1. Preparation and Protection
Before starting, we carefully masked and shielded all surrounding areas, including edges, cabinetry, and sinks, ensuring a precise and damage-free application.
2. Surface Honing
To enhance adherence and effectiveness, we honed the marble surface, preparing it for optimal treatment application.
3. Application of MORE® AntiEtch™
We evenly applied the MORE® AntiEtch™ product across the countertops. Initially, the product appeared as a smooth, transparent sheet of glass.
4. Contaminant Inspection and UV Curing
After application, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure a flawless finish before using a specialized UV light to cure and activate the protective coating.
5. Final Finishing
Once cured, we sanded the countertops to achieve the desired finish. The client opted for a honed appearance rather than a high-gloss polish, preserving the natural elegance of the stone.
Delighted Client
The final result exceeded the client’s expectations. Their Calacatta Lincoln marble countertops retained their breathtaking beauty while gaining a durable, 10-year warrantied protection against stains and etching.
This project showcases our expertise in applying MORE® AntiEtch™ to provide homeowners with a seamless blend of luxury and practicality. By combining meticulous preparation, technical skill, and cutting-edge protection technology, we enhanced both the longevity and aesthetic appeal of these exquisite countertops, offering our client long-term peace of mind.
