Frequently asked questions
How long does installation take?
Most residential projects are completed in 2-4 hours. Commercial installations vary based on square footage but are designed to minimize business disruption.
What types of stone can you protect?
We specialize in marble, granite, travertine, onyx, and other natural stones. Each material has specific requirements we're experienced with.
Will the film be visible on my countertops?
Our professional installation techniques ensure the film is virtually invisible. When properly applied, most people cannot detect the protection film is there.
Does the film change how my countertops feel?
The film is incredibly thin and maintains the natural texture of your stone. Most people cannot feel any difference.
Can you work around my business hours?
Absolutely. We understand restaurants and hotels have specific operational needs. We'll schedule installation during your slowest periods or off-hours as needed.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes, we offer complimentary consultations to assess your needs and provide detailed quotes.
Do I need to prepare my surfaces before installation?
We handle all surface preparation as part of our service. Your countertops should be clean, but we'll do final cleaning and prep work to ensure optimal adhesion.
How long does the protection film last?
Typically 8-10 years depending on usage. High-traffic commercial environments may need replacement sooner, while residential applications often last longer.
How do I clean protected surfaces?
Clean normally with standard household cleaners. The film actually makes cleaning easier since spills won't penetrate or stain the stone underneath.
Do you offer any guarantees?
Yes, we guarantee our installation workmanship and stand behind the quality of our materials. Specific warranty terms depend on your application and usage.
