Where can Clearstone Coating be used?
Ideal for bar tops, kitchen tops, vanity tops. The coating can be either applied prior to or following installation of a new top, subject to particular onsite circumstances, such as size or site joints etc. The coating can also be applied to an existing top to restore a damaged surface.
How is Clearstone Coating applied?
Our "Honed" finish is recommended for a natural stone look; however the stone coating can be polished to any level of gloss. Note: 48 hours should be allowed prior to fine sanding and polishing to the required level to allow the stone coating to reach reasonable hardness.
Is Clearstone Coating scratch resistant?
Following the initial curing of the stone coating, the surface attains a hardness of approximately 2 [similar to that of limestone] on a MOH scale [used for stone] of 1 to 10 with the max.hardness of approximately 3.5 - 4 [similar to that of marble] being reached by three months, depending on the local temperatures. Scratches may occur prior to full surface hardening but these can be easily removed.
Can hot containers be placed on Clearstone Coating?
Whilst one of the properties of our stone coating is an exclusive clear heat rejection additive, it is not recommended to place hot pans or hot dishes directly on the surface, always use a protective mat.
How long will the application process take and how much will Clearstone Coating cost?
These are variable questions and would need to be assessed job by job. In the case of onsite application in particular we would need to take into consideration the size, location and any other constraints or circumstances. Please contact us to discuss further.
Can Clearstone Coating be resurfaced?

Why use Clearstone Coating?
Marble and Limestone are composed of calcite which is highly sensitive to acid spills which corrodes the surface [etching] thus damaging the polished or honed finish. Some Marble and Limestone can also be porous and susceptible to staining. Stones such as unfilled 'Travertine' have natural cavities which can be filled with clear composite to highlight the features in the stone. Stones such as Sandstone and Basalts are not receptive to a high honed or polished finish and are easily susceptible to staining. The application of our Lustre Clearstone Coating enriches the colours and veins of such materials and makes them suitable as a bench top surface.
