Countertop Materials

---

Inspect your granite slab carefully. Pitting, veining, fissures, variations in shade and texture are natural features of granite and are not defects. Watermarks show more on light color patterns when wet. Fissures are also more visible on light color patterns. Do not use ammonia based cleaners as these will discolor the stone. Spills of strong chemicals, such as paint removers, oven cleaners or oil-based products; acidic liquids, such as wine, vinegar, fruit juices should be cleaned immediately to avoid penetration. Do not cut directly on your counter top as this can cause deep and permanent scratches to appear. To prevent staining, seal your countertops every year or purchase a 15 year premium sealer. Pits and fissures noticed after installation are not warrantable but chargeable to correct. Cracks as a result of cabinet settling after install are not the responsibility of Top Line Company. 

Quartz surfaces do not require sealing, but can be damaged to exposure to strong chemicals and solvents. Concentrations of color (also called pooling) occur naturally as part of the manufacturing process – these are not defects. Pits 1/8” or smaller are not defects. Darker colors will show fingerprints and watermarks more than lighter colors. Avoid over exposure to heat. Do not use abrasive and alkaline cleaners. Wipe spills immediately, rinse with water and clean with vinegar based cleaner.  

Acrylic surface material consisting typically of acrylics, polymers and other materials. Mild scratches and surface abrasions can be removed with a scouring pad. Minimize direct heat exposure and extreme temperature changes. Dark colors and highly polished surfaces tend to show scratches more than light colors do and will require more care and maintenance.
