Liquid Stone Designs’ products are extremely durable and practical and will provide many years of satisfaction as long as they are properly maintained. Knives should not be used directly on the countertops. Though this will cause minimal damage to the concrete, it will pierce the sealer, compromising its ability to prevent stains, as well as wreak havoc on your cutlery.

We can cast an indentation for an integrated cutting board if desired. You will want to avoid placing hot pots and pans directly on the surface of the concrete. Concrete is a naturally heat resistant material, but again, this may damage or discolor the sealer. All spills should be wiped up as soon as possible. You may clean your concrete products with a neutral ph cleaner such as Simple Green. Avoid using acidic or abrasive cleaners on concrete products. You will want to reapply a coat of carnauba or beeswax every two to three months depending on the level of patina you would like to develop.

Liquid Stone Designs will provide technical assistance for the life of its products as well as offer a 1 year warranty on any structural defects. Repair or replacement will be offered if the product is incapable of maintaining its structural and practical purpose. Liquid Stone Designs does not take responsibility of damage to our products due to gross negligence, failure of supporting materials, or acts of nature.

Like any other natural, porous material, concrete can crack, chip, and stain. However, Liquid Stone Designs’ concrete products contain many additives to strengthen the concrete as well as reduce shrinkage which causes cracking. No matter what methods of construction are used, concrete can still develop small hairline cracks that though visible, are not structural and will not compromise the strength of the concrete. Our penetrating sealer and satin top coat make the concrete less permeable, reducing the chance for stain. However, minor stains are simply part of the ever changing charm and patina of concrete.
