Frequently Asked Questions
How long does UltraSheer marble protection last?
UltraSheer protection is designed to last 5 years or more under normal hotel use, which is significantly longer than traditional sealers or restoration methods, which often require annual reapplication.
Will the application process disrupt our guests or require rooms to be out of service?
No. Our process is fast and efficient. Most surfaces can be treated in one day with no lingering odour or mess. There’s no need for extended room downtime.
Is UltraSheer a restoration or a protection service?
UltraSheer is a protection service. We restore your marble to its best possible condition before applying our advanced protective coating, which prevents future staining and etching for years.
What types of marble surfaces can you protect?
We can protect most horizontal, indoor marble surfaces, including bedside tables, coffee tables, bathroom vanities, and minibar tops. Our solution is ideal for high-visibility areas that guests notice most.
Is the coating safe for food and beverage contact areas?
Yes. Our coating is certified food-safe and non-toxic, making it suitable for surfaces like minibar tops and tables where guests may place drinks or snacks.
What’s the warranty or guarantee on your service?
We offer a 5-year warranty against staining and etching for all treated surfaces. If you experience any issues, we’ll make it right. Your satisfaction and your hotel’s reputation are our top priorities.
