As one of the top suppliers of marble and other natural stones, we often ask questions about our stone products.
Listed below are some of the most popular frequently asked questions about our products:
Where do you obtain your natural stone?
Natural stone is ethically sourced from quarries located around the world and Indian marble Exporters supply the stone in most of the countries. Countries that have the highest concentrations of natural stone are India, Brazil, Norway, Africa, China, Portugal and Spain.
How do these stones form?
Natural stone forms from mineral sediments that are subjected to a lot of pressure and heat, over a long period of time. The mineral quantity in stone contributes to the patterns and colours that are visible on natural stone.
Do I need to seal my stone after installation?
Most contractors seal the stone during the installation process. If you’re not sure whether your stone is sealed, simply sprinkle some water on it. If it beads up, it is sealed. If the water seems to be soaking in, it needs to be sealed.
Although you can seal it yourself, it is best to have a professional do it. The entire process takes up to thirty minutes.
How often should I seal my natural stone?
Ideally, natural stone should be sealed once per year. However, if your stone will receive a lot of wear and tear, it may benefit from more frequent sealing. The frequency of sealing will also depend on the type of natural stone you choose to install.
How often should I clean my natural stone?
It is suggested that you use a pH-neutral cleanser to clean your stone. Avoid using anything abrasive like bleach. This can cause irreparable damage to your stone surface. Several household cleaners have high acidity and will easily damage calcareous stones such as limestone and travertine. A coat of sealer will NOT protect against abrasive cleaners.
How much will natural stone cost me?
The cost of the stone will depend on the type. Some types of stone are more expensive than others. The cost is influenced by the location from the stone was sourced, the method of harvesting and rarity of the stone.
