How much maintenance do concrete countertops require?
This is one of the biggest myths in the concrete countertop industry. Concrete countertops take no more maintenance than any of the other natural stone products. The sealer we use should last the life time of your countertops with proper care. Stains and spills should be cleaned up promptly and a simple ten minute waxing every few months will enhance the life of the sealer. At the time of installation we can demonstrate the quick and simple process of waxing your countertop. We also supply you with a detailed owners manual on how to properly care for you countertops. Part of the appeal of concrete countertops is their natural ability to become worn with time and use. This can be prevented with a strict maintenance schedule, or you can allow your countertop to develop patina and character with use. Regardless of how often you perform the recommended maintenance, the durability of your countertop will not be compromised.
This is one of the biggest myths in the concrete countertop industry. At Living Stone we have invested in using state-of-the-art sealer technology. Because of the ultraviolet light sealing process, our concrete is stain-proof extremely scratch resistant and does not require any waxing. The sealer should last about 15 or more years with normal wear and tear. Reseals and touch ups are easy to do.
