Cantera Cleaning and Sealing

Cantera Cleaning and Sealing
Cantera's name comes from the Spanish word “quarry.” Cantera is a sedimentary rock quarried into dimension stone in Mexico and Central America. Cantera is formed by volcanic ash and lava that has collected and compacted into fine sand, clay, and materials that settle in sediment beds. Cantera is used to decorate walls, countertops, backsplashes, fireplaces, wall tiles, pool areas, columns and floor titles. Well maintained Cantera installed as flooring provides unmatched elegance to a home, entrance, patio or pool area.

CANTERA - CHALLENGES

Cantera is very porous due to its complex composition. It will stain and collect soil easily, if not properly maintained. Unprotected Cantera will show visible scratches when a topcoat is applied and scuffs easily in high trafficked areas. When mopped with a high alkaline cleaner Cantera surface and grout will darken. Cantera can become a soil and germ magnet leading to an unsanitary and unsightly surface.
