http://www.stonecentercorp.com/ The Beer House: the site for beer fanatics Copyright 2005 by Marco Bellinaso This article is a short summary and general guide of maintenance recommendations and processes which have proved practical for many stone surfaces over the years. It should not be assumed that any particular process description or recommendation is suitable for any particular project or situation without qualification. There are many variables which must be considered when designing a maintenance program including: physical properties of the stone, abrasion risk, hostile factors in the environment, the maintenance budget and the skill of the maintenance personnel. It is highly recommended that a maintenance professional be consulted if there is any doubt about whether or not a specific method or product is safe and effective. ]]> Sat, 18 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT Sat, 18 Oct 2008 00:00:00 GMT
