Protecting a Brand-New Marble Countertop for Everyday Family Life

When a Cumming, GA, homeowner recently purchased a new home, the kitchen featured beautiful white dolomite marble countertops. Because the home would be busy with four children, the homeowner wanted to protect the new marble before everyday use could lead to staining, etching, or other surface concerns.

Rather than waiting for damage to occur, the homeowner chose to take a proactive approach and have the countertops professionally prepared and protected with RAKU.

The Challenge: Protecting New Marble Before Damage Happens

The marble was brand new, so the goal wasn’t to restore an already damaged surface. It was to protect a beautiful new countertop from the demands of everyday family life.

White dolomite marble has natural beauty and character, but acid-sensitive stone can be vulnerable to etching and staining. For this busy household, the right protection could help preserve the countertop while allowing the family to enjoy it every day.

The Process: Preparing the Marble for RAKU

Proper preparation was an important part of this project because RAKU needs a clean stone surface to bond properly.

Removing Existing Impregnator

After masking the surrounding areas, DEZ Services used a specialized product to remove the existing stone impregnator from within the marble.

This step was essential because RAKU will not bond properly if sealer residue remains in the stone.

Allowing the Stone to Dry

Once the existing impregnator had been removed, the marble was allowed to dry thoroughly before the protective treatment was applied.

Applying RAKU No Etch Solution

With the stone properly prepared and dry, DEZ Services applied RAKU No Etch Solution to the countertops.

The treatment provides an additional layer of protection designed to help defend marble against staining and acid-related etching while maintaining the natural appearance of the stone.

The Solution: RAKU Protection for Everyday Marble

For this Cumming homeowner, RAKU No Etch Protection offered a proactive way to protect a brand-new marble investment. The objective was not to change the natural character of the white dolomite, but to provide added protection while preserving the look and feel that made the stone appealing in the first place.

The Result: Beautiful Marble, Better Prepared for Daily Life

The finished countertops retain their natural honed appearance while receiving added protection through the RAKU treatment.

Most importantly, the homeowner didn’t have to wait for the marble to become stained or etched before taking action.

The protection was put in place from the beginning—helping prepare the countertops for the realities of everyday family life.
