In an example of protecting white marble kitchen countertops over the long term, this project in Australia received an application of an innovative new product from Dry-TreatTM
Across the world, the popularity of marble countertops is continuing to rise. One concern, of course, is maintenance — as marble is acid sensitive in these applications. It will come in regular contact with acid materials. In just one example of steps being taken to protect marble countertops from etching, a project in Australia relied on a relatively new innovation in the marketplace.
The project was a residential kitchen in Australia’s Gold Coast, and the contract for the project was The Marble Man of Queensland, Australia, one of Australia’s leading stone restorers. The design features Calacatta marble, and the clients were concerned that the surface of the stone would be damaged by acid etching caused by soda, wine, vinegar, lemon juice and many other acidic household liquids.
