A Wholistic Approach to Product Improvement
Natural stone has a one-of–kind beauty that cannot be duplicated. It can be mesmerizing… depending on the source of the stone, the underlying geological activity that was used to produce it, and its aesthetics - its grains, its patterns, its colours, and the mix of naturally occurring crystals and mineral elements. We looked to the mountainous regions in Asia and other parts of the world for these unique granite and marble formations … and then, through wholistic innovation, we developed ways to make them better, stronger, longer lasting, easier-to-use, easier-to-maintain, and more affordable.
A Unique Innovation – Resin Impregnation
Canadians are explorers and pioneers by nature. We look for ways to innovate and make things better. That’s exactly what we did with natural stone. We made it better… without sacrificing its natural beauty. We did that through a unique and proprietary process called “resin impregnation”. This procedure fills in the stone’s “naturally occurring micro fissures and pores”. It not only strengthens the stone, but also creates a “permanent seal” that resists staining, discolouration, and water damage. This minimizes the need for periodic maintenance while increasing durability and life expectancy. Resin is normally used to bind quartz and other stone aggregates to create man-made stones that are more durable than most natural stones. We took that concept and applied it to natural stone… to create “enhanced natural stone products” that combine the benefits of both.
