Because the AntiEtch® technology is that effective. We are so confident that we include a Lifetime Warranty against ANY staining or etching. The warranty has no extra cost.

No. It's completely invisible. AntiEtch® bonds into the stone itself, so your marble looks and feels just like it does now. Whatever finish you have stays the same. The only difference is that acids stop leaving marks.

Usually, yes. It's built into the process. Before AntiEtch® goes on, your applicator hones and restores the surface, which lifts out most existing etch marks and stains. Your marble gets brought back close to new, and then it's protected so it stays that way.

AntiEtch® can go on any acid-sensitive stone surface. But we only recommend treating the spots that actually come into contact with acids, like kitchen counters, islands, bar tops, and bathroom vanities. Coating a surface that never touches food, drink, or cleaners is usually money you don't need to spend. Your applicator will help you figure out what's worth protecting.

Yes. Faucets need to come off before your applicator arrives. Your plumber can take care of it, or you can do it yourself if you're handy. That way we can treat the whole surface cleanly, right up to the edges.

Yes. Once it's applied, AntiEtch® is non-toxic, food-safe, and odor-free. The application is clean and dustless too, so it's fine for homes with kids and pets.

Most kitchens take one to two days. Applicators treat about 50 sq ft a day, so a larger kitchen might take a bit longer. The whole process is clean and dustless, and when it's done your countertops are protected for good.

AntiEtch® is permanent. It protects your stone for the life of the surface, and it comes with a lifetime warranty against any staining or etching at no extra cost. If anything ever does go wrong, the warranty covers both the material and the labor to fix it.

No. Films and wraps sit on top of your stone like a screen protector, and over time they can peel, yellow, and show seams. AntiEtch® is a liquid that bonds into the stone itself, so there's nothing to lift or peel and nothing that changes how your marble looks. You can see the full comparison above.

No. AntiEtch® is applied only by trained, certified applicators. The prep, the application, and the UV-curing all take specific equipment to get the bond right and to back it with the lifetime warranty, so there's no DIY kit. That also means you're covered by the warranty instead of being on your own.

AntiEtch® is made for acid-sensitive natural stone like marble, limestone, travertine, onyx, and concrete. It isn't meant for granite or engineered quartz, since those don't etch the same way. If you're not sure what you have, your applicator can confirm it before any work starts.

It depends on your stone, square footage, and layout. The quickest way to get a ballpark is the calculator above, and you'll get an exact, no-pressure quote once an applicator measures in person. Keep in mind it's a one-time cost, not something you pay to re-seal every year.
