Stone Renewal

The luxury and beauty of stone add an impressive finishing touch to any property.  Despite its durability, stone is subject to the wear and tear that affects every building material.  With the high replacement  cost associated with stone, renewal is a crucial step in keeping the value of your investment.

Many processes that claim to return the natural beauty of stone actually hurt more than they help.  A currently popular process is vitrification. Using acid, the top layer of stone is literally melted to create a shine. Unfortunately, the acid continues to work its way in to the stone, eventually dulling the finish, and requiring reapplication about every six months. 

Another method is to simply paint the surface with acrylic. This is another short-term solution that looks good for a while, but can eventually harm the very surface it's intended to protect.

At Encore Renewal Systems, we renew stone surfaces in keeping with the guidelines set forth by the Building Stone Institute. Our system is summarized below.

  Holes, cracks and chips are filled with a proprietary formula.

  The entire stone surface is polished.

  To preserve the restored finish, a silicone sealant is applied.

  The area is buffed to a high gloss finish for increased protection.

Of course your absolute satisfaction is guaranteed. Protect your investment. Renew your valuable stonework with Encore Renewal Systems.  For more information about our stone renewal process, please contact us!
