FAQ

  • What is Stone Protection?

    Stone Protection is a specialized treatment designed to safeguard natural stone surfaces, such as granite, marble, limestone, and travertine, from damage caused by spills, stains, scratches, moisture, and environmental factors. It typically involves sealing the stone with a high-performance coating that creates an invisible barrier, making the stone more resistant to everyday wear and tear while preserving its natural beauty.

  • Why should I invest in Stone Protection for my home or business?

    Natural stone surfaces, while durable, are susceptible to damage from regular use, spills, moisture, and wear over time. Stone Protection offers several key benefits:

    Stain Resistance: Protects against oils, water, and acidic substances like wine or coffee.

    Scratch Resistance: Guards against surface abrasions and wear.

    Easy Maintenance: Reduces the frequency of cleaning and resealing, making upkeep easier.

    Enhanced Aesthetic: Preserves the stone's natural appearance, keeping it vibrant and beautiful for years.

  • How does Ultra Tuff Stone Protection work?

    Our Stone Protection system uses advanced sealing technology to create a protective barrier on the surface of your stone. The treatment is absorbed into the stone’s porous surface, preventing moisture, oils, and stains from penetrating and causing damage. The sealant is invisible and doesn’t alter the texture or appearance of the stone—it simply enhances its natural qualities while providing long-lasting protection.

  • How long does the protection last?

    The longevity of our Stone Protection depends on the surface’s use and the specific conditions of your home or business. Typically, our protection can last up to 10 years before requiring reapplication. High-traffic areas or surfaces exposed to heavy moisture (like kitchen countertops or bathroom vanities) may need more frequent reapplication.

  • Is the treatment safe for my family and pets?

    Yes! Our Stone Protection products are completely non-toxic and safe for both humans and pets. Once the treatment has cured, the surface is completely safe to use, cook on, and touch. We always ensure that our products meet the highest safety standards.

  • Will the protection change the appearance of my stone?

    No, our Stone Protection treatment is designed to be invisible and will not change the natural look, texture, or feel of your stone. It simply enhances the existing color and finish, making the stone’s appearance more vibrant while protecting it from future damage. Some stones may even appear richer or more defined after treatment.

  • How soon can I use my stone surfaces after treatment?

    Once the treatment has been applied, the stone typically requires 24-48 hours to fully cure and dry. During this time, we recommend avoiding any contact with the surface to ensure the best results. After this curing period, your stone surfaces will be fully protected and ready for use.

  • Can I clean my stone surfaces after treatment?

    Yes! Once your stone has been protected, you can clean it using a gentle, pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. The protection reduces the risk of stains and grime buildup, making your cleaning routine much easier and less frequent. Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, or abrasive pads, as they can damage both the stone and the protective layer.

  • Is the protection effective on outdoor stone surfaces?

    Absolutely! Our Stone Protection treatments are highly effective for both indoor and outdoor stone surfaces. For outdoor stone features like patios, walkways, or exterior facades, the protection helps guard against the damaging effects of the elements, including UV rays, rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations. It ensures that your outdoor stone surfaces maintain their beauty and durability, even in harsh weather conditions.

  • Can I apply Stone Protection myself?

    While some DIY stone sealers are available, professional Stone Protection services from Ultra Tuff ensure the best results. Our trained experts use high-quality, industrial-strength products and the proper application techniques to ensure long-lasting, effective protection. We recommend having a professional handle the application to avoid improper sealing or damaging the stone

  • How do I know if my stone needs protection?

    If your stone surfaces are showing signs of discoloration, staining, or frequent damage from spills, it's a good indication that your stone needs protection. If your stone is porous and absorbs liquids easily, protection can help seal and shield it from stains and moisture. We offer free consultations to assess the condition of your stone surfaces and recommend the best course of action.
