Q: Can Silestone be used outdoors?

• <div><p>Silestone&reg; isn&rsquo;t recommended for outdoor use because UV rays can damage the surface. Long-term exposure to direct sunlight can cause discoloration. Instead, choose an outdoor-friendly countertop material like tile, concrete, stainless steel, or natural stone. If you do choose a natural stone, make sure you either seal it or avoid highly porous stones. For example, choose soapstone over marble. </p></div>

Q: How long will it take to complete stone restoration work?

• <div><p>How long it takes to complete stone restoration work will vary from home to home and project to project. Overall, a professional can complete a one-room project in one to two days. When vetting your local contractors, be sure to ask them how long they think the project will take to factor in any that could speed up or prolong the completion of the project.</p></div>

Q: Can you use car polish on marble?

• <div><p>You can use some types of car wax to polish marble floors, as long as the polish is designed for use on marble floors. Read the label and test the polish on a small area of the floor first to see how it interacts with the marble. Car wax can help fill in or buff away small scratches, while polishing the marble for extra shine.</p></div>

Q: Can I polish my floors myself?

• <div><p>It is possible to buff and polish your floors yourself, but DIY floor polishing is an extremely time-consuming process that isn&rsquo;t particularly enjoyable. To do the work yourself, you&rsquo;ll usually need to clean your floors, get on your hands and knees to apply polish manually with a cloth, and avoid puddles and oversaturation. Hiring a professional floor polisher is usually worthwhile because they have industrial equipment that buffs and polishes in a fraction of the time and usually leaves a more even coat.</p></div>
