Choosing Natural Stone Surfaces

"Homeowners can choose almost any natural stone surface for kitchens, floors, and baths, thanks to modern technology and stone protection advancements," says co-owner of Boston Stone Restoration Melissa Bunis.

But are choices like marble, limestone, onyx, and travertine practical for modern homes? Absolutely.

According to Bunis, contrary to popular belief, natural stones offer surprising durability. Significant advances in sealants and protective technologies now provide resistance to stains, scratches, and etching. Modern sealants, applied before or after installation, allow these stones to endure daily use for years.

Occasional traditional stone restoration services or the application of a UV-cured stone protective coating every 10 years for your counters and vanities, offer all the protection you need to host years of holidays & parties, or just relax on your own with fido, your favorite cooking show and a glass of wine without a care.

Natural stones like marble, limestone, onyx, and travertine are excellent choices for any part of your home. Their beauty, combined with advanced protective technologies, makes them wise investments. 

Whether you value style, functionality, or both, these stone surfaces deliver good looks and resilience with a proper stone care regimen and protection provided by a qualified stone restoration company like Boston Stone Restoration.
