At NOLA Gruppe Home and Commercial Ceramic Coating, we are passionate about fine stone, statues and fountains. The idea for our business started when we found that although sealants are the most common form of protection, they do not tend to last very long. This is especially frustrating when you have already spent a fortune installing or restoring your hard surfaces. We offer a wide range of restorations services for fine stone and other hard surfaces. However, what is the point of restoring something and then applying only an average or mediocre level of protection. This is why we have turned to industrial ceramic coating. We have the ability to turn any worn surface to new, then applying industrial ceramic coating to keep it new for years to come. Choosing industrial Ceramic Coating instead of your basic sealant that many fine stone vendors offer can take your homes protection to a new level. Maintains the pristine look of Stainless Steel and prevent fingerprints and water marks. Prevents staining and scratching on fine stones like marble and granite. Will not gloss or change the surfaces intended appeal. Creates a sanitary surface on counter tops, appliances and all other surfaces. Antibacterial properties without the need for harsh disinfectants. Repels liquids therefore protects from staining and discoloration including wine. Prevents mineral water marks in glass showers. All surfaces become extremely easy to clean due to its ultra-slick surface. The anti-graffiti property prevents marker and paint from ever adhering to the surface. Maintain the effectiveness for up to 10 years compare to spray sealants that last months

Marble and Granite questions, answered by experts
Tile countertops are a good option for homeowners looking for budget-friendly kitchen solutions. To get the biggest bang for your home improvement dollars, ensure the tile you install is heat- and scratch-resistant.
The most common issues homeowners run into when installing granite floors include uneven tiles, improper sealing, grout discoloration, and cracks that result from subfloor movement. Hiring an experienced granite flooring professional and ensuring proper subfloor preparation can help prevent these problems from occurring and extend the life of your granite flooring.
If you’re out of spacers for your tile installation, you can use pennies. Each time you place a tile, stick the pennies around the edges (on the sides and the corners). Like working with spacers, you’ll want the same amount of space around each tile before they set.
Tile shouldn’t be set tight against the tub. Bathtubs can expand when filled, and they can shift slightly with the weight of occupants. For this reason, it’s important to leave a slight gap between the bathtub and the first row of tile. Aim for a narrow gap of approximately 1/16 of an inch, filled with caulk, to allow for this expansion and movement while still allowing for tile shower waterproofing.
Bathrooms are naturally moisture-rich environments, so choose a durable, water-resistant tile for your tub surround. Porcelain and ceramic are two popular options that are also quite affordable. Glass is another good option that’s also low-maintenance—you just need a glass cleaner like you would use on the bathroom mirror. Natural stone tile is porous, but it’s still a viable option if you choose it in a glazed version.
