Character
Each piece produced has its own unique character
in terms of color depth, mottling and tonal
range. Most pinholes and voids are filled
with matching grout before polishing though
some may be left unfilled in areas where
they enhance the surface appearance. Hairline
cracking may appear on the surface and is
part of the character of the material. These
cracks are non-structural. All products
are reinforced with galvanized wire lathe,
glass fibre and or reinforcing bar as needed.
Sealing & Finishing
All products are treated at the factory
with two coats of penetrating sealer. We
then apply three coats of carnuba wax to
our products to complete the finishing.
If you would like to apply another finish
material instead of the wax, let us know
when you place your order and we will
|
ship
the products after the initial sealing.
Care & Maintenance
Concrete, like any other stone surface material
requires a certain amount of care and maintenance.
To keep it looking its best, care should
be taken to remove liquids, such as red
wine, coffee and fruit juice, which could
penetrate, etch or stain the surface if
left in contact for an extended period of
time.
Periodic re-application (every 6-9 months
depending on amount of use) of the wax will
keep the surfaces looking great. Do not
cut directly on the surfaces as they will
scratch. Avoid placing hot objects onto
the surfaces as they can sometimes cause
discoloration of the surface finish material.
Only non-abrasive cleansers should be used,
regardless of what surface finish option
is chosen. |
