• Tumbled Surface: Edges and corners are subjected to a tumbling
process for an antique look.
Special Considerations
• Color variations are common and enhance the natural beauty
of each stone. Be sure to inspect multiple samples of the stone
before selection to ensure satisfaction with colors and patterns.
• Do clean with a dust mop and neutral cleaner to remove most
dirt.
• Do use a penetrating sealer to prevent staining. Because
many stones are porous to some degree, excessive water may cause
reactions such as oxidation (rust), spalling, deterioration of dry
veins, etc. “Special impregnating” sealers are recommended
to avoid these problems. Emser representatives can recommend the
appropriate sealer.
• Do clean natural stones with “special stone cleaners”,
“pH balanced cleaners” or “neutral base cleaners.”
• Do not clean any natural stone with acidic cleaners, including
(but not limited to) vinegar or cleaners with “lemon”
or “lime” on the label. These products will abrade the
polish from the stone. Sealers DO NOT protect polished surfaces
from these types of cleaners.
