Author: LindaYSubject: Limestone in a showerPosted: 02 Dec 2009 at 8:39am We have green limestone in a shower. Within 6 months, the tiles were discoloring and the surface looked like it had soap scum/residue on it. The tiles on the front of the threshold began showing signs of spalling and developed a scaly finish. The top of the threshold looked like it had been walked on so much that the surface was worn away and didn't look like the other tiles at all. The back of the threshold inside of the shower looks fine after I cleaned it with a poultice by Miracle. We have soft water which some have said could cause the spawling problem, but that doesn't explain the front of the threshold that doesn't get wet like inside of the shower. I have heard that green limestone or any limestone should not be used in a shower. We've had several restoration companies try to restore sample areas, but nothing has worked. Any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Water Stains : Absolute Black: scaring and bleaching

Author: StonemongerSubject: Absolute Black: scaring and bleachingPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 9:30pmMy question for you is, were the bottles from hard alcohol of some sort? A small percentage of wht is sold to us ad "Absolute Black" granite is actually a gray stone from India that is then dyed black for sale. This dye is alcohol soluble, a happy fact my company discovered when installing about 200 square feet in a high end country club's lounge as a bartop...The alcohol bleaches out the dye and leaves odd, translucent areas that you just can't seem to clean off!Luckily, we managed to browbeat our warehouse into reimbursing us the material and got the genuine article from elsewhere. Still cost us time and sweat and delays on other jobs.

Author: james1234Subject: Granite installed in KitchenPosted: 23 Nov 2009 at 12:06pmIf you can tell me the overall dimensions of the top of subject and the name of the stone used, then I may have some ablsolute answers intead of guesses. What I do know without any more information, is I've never heard of sealer afecting the appearence of any stone that drastically or for that length of time. That's not what sealer is sold to do.Edited by findstone - 01 Dec 2009 at 4:08pm
