Q&A
Why TuffSkin?
Calcium Based Stones like Marble, Onyx and Travertines etch and stain very easily, sometimes faster than it can be wiped away. No liquid sealer can prevent this issue. TuffSkin provides complete etch and stain protection.
What is TuffSkin?
TS is a proprietary stone laminate similar to a cell phone screen protector only on a larger scale. It is not a liquid at all. It is 4 mil polyester manufactured in roll form.
Will TS protect my counters from etching?
Yes. Stone protected will not etch.
Will my countertops scratch?
TS protects against scratching, chipping and stun marks. Although the TS laminate could be damaged, your stone will not. We do recommend the use of cutting boards, placemats & trivets, just as you would with your natural stone. Should your tops become scratched TS is easily removed and replaced.
What about household Products and Chemicals?
TS is very chemical resistant. There are no chemicals that can harm our coating.
Will TS protect my counters from direct heat?
Yes, TS can take the heat and stay in the kitchen. In the bathroom, blow dryers and curling irons do not affect TS. It can withstand heat up to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Can I install TS outdoors?
Yes, TS it will not turn yellow and has a UV inhibitor built in to the hardcoat. In full sun, it should last approximately 2 years. With a patio cover expect it to last longer.
How long will my TS last?
Depending on use, for instance, our hospitality customers see about 6-10 years before needing replacement. Bars and restaurants replace approximately every 1-4 years and residential customers normally enjoy their TS for approximately 3-5 years. This will truly all depend on how heavy traffic the area is and how perfect you would like the area to appear.
