Questions? Just Ask Dr. LivingStone®.
Why does LivingStone® cost less than some other
countertop materials?
We work smarter. Our
Value section explains it all. Just click above on the main menu.
Why should I buy LivingStone® instead of granite?
Stone is terrific. And if it's a matter of seniority, stone wins hands down. Remember
The Flintstones?
But wherever you might put bare skin, like a bare arm or an elbow. LivingStone® has it all over granite. Because LivingStone® feels silky, warm and welcoming to the touch. Granite feels icy cold.
You can always see the seams in granite. It's all but impossible to find the
seams in LivingStone®.
Unlike granite, LivingStone® never needs sealing. It's naturally stain-resistant.
Best of all, LivingStone® usually costs considerably less than granite. So why not save some money on your
countertops
and upgrade your appliances or
cabinets? Or maybe add a nice flat-screen TV?
Why should I buy LivingStone® instead of other
brands of solid surface?
We only make the most popular colors of
solid surface
. Without slow-selling colors in our inventory, we can keep our costs down. Considerably.
Because every color of LivingStone® is a best-seller, the odds are really good that any color you choose from our
Smart Palette™ will appeal to prospective buyers when you sell your home. That's one reason why we call it Smart.
Plus, choosing a color from 30 best-sellers is a lot easier than trying to pick
a winner from a collection of more than 100. That's just one way LivingStone® makes your life easier.
Where can I buy LivingStone® ?
Right now we only sell LivingStone® in the United States. But we're available in every state! Just click

How long does LivingStone® last?
With basic care, there's no reason LivingStone® won't outlive you. Solid surface has been around for about 40 years. And some original installations are still going strong.
How hygienic is LivingStone®?
LivingStone® is nonporous. So germs can't penetrate. And, unlike other materials, the seams are impervious. So germs can't hide out there, either.
If you really clean LivingStone®, it's really clean. Unfortunately, it can't clean
itself. Nobody's invented a surface that can do that.
Also, if you choose a LivingStone® integrated sink, there are no sink lips to
trap where germs can hide.
To totally disinfect LivingStone®, just wipe it down with a solution of
equal parts of water and bleach.
Does LivingStone® stain?
LivingStone® is nonporous, so it's naturally stain-resistant. Stains just can't
penetrate the 100%
acrylic surface
. And, unlike granite, LivingStone® never
needs to be periodically sealed to resist stains.
How do I clean LivingStone®?
It's easy. Soapy water or an ammonia-based cleaner, such as glass cleaner,
is all you need. If there's a stubborn, dried spill, try full strength bleach or
Soft Scrub with Bleach.
Ordinary vinegar removes any hard water spots.

What if I scratch my LivingStone®?
Don't panic. LivingStone® is completely renewable, because the color and
texture runs all through the material. Usually, just buffing with a ScotchBrite®
pad will remove all but the deepest scratches. And even if you seriously
scratch LivingStone®, in almost all cases your fabricator can easily restore it.

full 15 years.
