Q: What is my vanity top made of?
A: Your vanity top starts out as a gel-coated mold filled with combined elements of polyester resin. Pulverized limestone, catalyst (hardener) and pigments are added to give it the strength and desired color. Handmade or machine veining is done to produce the marbelized effect. Each piece is then ground and polished to get the finished product that ends up in your home.

Q: How long after the repair is completed can I use cleaning products on the repaired area?
A: We only ask that you wait 24 hours before using cleaning products on repaired areas. Take note that abrasive cleaners should not be used to clean any part of your bath tub, shower stall or cultured marble product. Staining is usually due to minerals or chemicals in your water. If stains appear, it is recommended you have your water tested.
