1. What is KOVASTONE?
KOVASTONE is an extremely durable manufactured quartz surface that has a variety of uses: countertops, floor tile, vanities, fireplace surrounds, wet bars, showers, etc. It has the natural look and feel of granite, but with superior performance because of its strength and durability. It is nonporous and will not absorb food and liquids like other natural stone surfaces, which means it does not need to be sealed.

2. Does KOVASTONE require care and maintenance?
No, KOVASTONE is maintenance free because it is nonporous. Simply wipe it up with warm water, use mild soap if desired. So unlike granite, it does NOT require regular sealing and is resistant to staining.

3. Is KOVASTONE heat resistant? Can I put a hot pan or pot on it?
KOVASTONE is more resistant to damage from heat than most natural stone surfaces. Generally any stone surfaces can be damaged by sudden and rapid change ofÊtemperature, as well as direct or sustained heating on the surface. KOVASTONE may not withstand the direct transfer of heat from pots and pans and other cooking units such as electric frying pans and griddles, and some crock-pots or roaster ovens and heat lamps. Therefore, the use of a hot pad or trivet is always recommended.

4. Does the limited warranty cover damage from heat?
No. The use of a hot pad or trivet is always recommended.

5. Is KOVASTONE resistant to staining? Will KOVASTONE stain?
KOVASTONE's nonporous surface provides resistance to staining and eliminates the need for any sealing. Its nonporous surface also greatly reduces the potential for bacterial growth from food absorbing in your countertop.

6. Is KOVASTONE safe for food preparation?
Yes, KOVASTONE is nonporous making it practically impenetrable to bacteria and mold. This makes for an extremely safe surface for food preparation when it is kept clean.

7. How many colors is KOVASTONE available in?
Visit our Color Palette to see our complete color selection.

8. Does the color go all the way through the KOVASTONE product?
Yes, KOVASTONE's natural quartz and rich colors go all the way through the material.

9. Do you offer a warranty? What does the warranty include?
KOVASTONE offers a General Warranty Policy for product defects for as long as the original owner owns the product. Click here to review the warranty.

Performance:
KOVASTONE offers a number of advantages over natural stones surfaces. KOVASTONE is harder than granite. The material is also cleaner, safer and more consistent than that of other surfaces. In addition to its superior performance, KOVASTONE has greater consistency than natural stone which is veined and prone to natural flaws.

Food Safety:
KOVASTONE surfaces are nonporous and prevent the growth of surface mold and bacteria due to the use of quartz as a key ingredient. This makes KOVASTONE, qualified for installation in hospitals, restaurants, hotels and more.

Quality:
From the careful inspection of all incoming raw materials, stringent on-line checks and up to final pre-shipping quality control, every step is carefully and professionally monitored. Our high standards in aesthetics and production ensure that our customers that they are purchasing a well crafted product. KOVASTONE is committed to producing high quality work surfaces, KOVASTONE's emphasis on quality and attention to detail have led to a remarkable increase in the worldwide market share.

Its hard, nonporous surface makes KOVASTONE simple to clean. In most cases, soap and warm water is all that is required to maintain its luster. If necessary, a non-abrasive cleanser such as Soft Scrub Liquid Gel with Bleach or Comet Soft Cleanser Cream With Bleach can be used. Adhered materials like food, gum or nail polish can be scraped away with a plastic putty knife; any marks left by the blade can be removed with Soft Scrub Liquid Gel. Thoroughly rinse the surface with clean water to remove residue. KOVASTONE prides itself in providing our customers a virtually care-free surface, but as with any product, excessive abuse can harm its finish. With a small amount of care, your KOVASTONE surface will look as great as the day you bought it for years to come.
