Hello everyone,
my natural stone dealer was commissioned to procure Nero Luanda in flamed finish. Discussed based on a sample,
After a faulty slab (partially damaged), now comes the next surprise: The slab is significantly lighter than the discussed order sample.
My dealer says that this is due to a different surface treatment.
He has offered to darken the slabs using a color intensifier. According to him, this is permanent and would not wash out.
The slabs are to be used once as a wall covering and on the other hand for an outdoor counter.
Now I have the following questions:
- Are significant color differences possible due to the surface treatment (both rough)? Or is someone trying to sell me a different stone?
- Is the color intensifier really permanently durable
- How does it behave on the counter - food is also placed on the stone here, combined with chemicals... is that okay?
Since the amount of stone is not exactly cheap, I want to be on the safe side here.
Regards,
Harv
