Natural marble furniture serves as a symbol of luxury and elegance in home decor. However, the inherent characteristics of marble make it susceptible to scratches, stains, and penetration. To protect your investment and prolong its lifespan, it is crucial to implement proper protective measures.
1. Marble Sealants
Marble sealants are commonly used to create a protective barrier on the surface of the marble by filling its microscopic pores. This barrier prevents liquid penetration and staining. After the production of the furniture, we apply a marble sealant to achieve an initial level of protection. However, over time and with increased usage, the effectiveness of the sealant diminishes and may eventually disappear. Therefore, regular reapplication of the marble sealant is necessary for ongoing protection. The frequency of reapplication depends on individual usage and environmental conditions but is generally recommended every 6 months to 1 year.
2. Film Protection:
Film protection is a simple yet effective method for safeguarding marble furniture. After the furniture is completed, we apply a thin film on the surface to prevent scratches, stains, and daily wear. Film protection effectively shields the marble surface from direct contact and physical friction. However, long-term use and frequent cleaning can lead to wear and tear of the film. In such cases, it is advisable to replace the film either by yourself or with the assistance of a professional to ensure continuous protection of your marble furniture.
3. Polyester Coatings:
Polyester coatings are applied during the production process to create a protective layer on the surface of the marble furniture. These coatings enhance the marble's resistance to wear and stains, preventing scratches and discoloration. Under normal usage conditions, polyester coatings provide long-term protection. However, regular cleaning and maintenance are still recommended to maintain the optimal condition of the coating.
Conclusion
Protecting natural marble furniture is essential to preserve its beauty and extend its lifespan. By utilizing marble sealants, film protection, and polyester coatings, you can effectively prevent scratches, stains, and penetration. Remember, regular maintenance and careful usage are crucial aspects of protecting your investment in natural marble furniture, ensuring they remain the cherished gems of your home décor.
