Cultured marble, cultured onyx and granite effect offer many advantages compared to other materials used for tub enclosures, shower surrounds and vanity tops. Some of these enhancements are:

Beauty -Endless color options with the warmth of natural stone

Durability - High strength, resistant to staining and mildew

- Very easy to clean

Design Versatility - Limited only by the imagination of the designer and producer. The parts can be cast into almost any shape, allowing the production of highly customized designs. The decorating possibilities are endless.

Seamless Construction - Minimize crevices. There is no grout to gather mildew and mold. Easy installation. The panels for tub enclosures or shower surround can be made to fit the height and width as needed-

Cleaning - A soft sponge, or cloth, and mild soap and water are all that is required for routine maintenance. Glass cleaners can also be used.

Gel coated Surface

Custom marble gel coats it's product. Gel coat is the same specially formulated clear resin used on the outside of fiberglass boats. Generally, this is what makes the fiberglass boat shiny, as well as, protect the fiberglass matting. Gel coat produces a tough, transparent surface resistant to normal wear. It is non porous (smooth like glass) so that it will decrease the adherence of mildew and stain.

Gel coat vs. non-gel coat surfaces:

Care for Cultured Marble

Cultured marble provides an extremely durable surface which is resistant to staining. Care is very simple. Use a soft sponge, or cloth, and a non abrasive cleaner, such as Formula 409, window cleaner (Windex) or a fiberglass cleaner (one made for boats or RVs, i.e. Gel Gloss), or any other non abrasive cleaner. This will allow the product to maintain its original appearance. If the cultured marble becomes dull in appearance due to soap residue, hard water deposit, or non-cleaning, it can be buffed, using a rubbing compound, back to its original glossy finish.
