Give your fine stone the care it deserves
Architects and designers in Australia are discovering countless creative applications for stone, and stone that is properly maintained will enhance the beauty and value of your home or business for years to come. Unfortunately, new stone is porous and unprotected, thus is very susceptible to staining and marring from heavy foot traffic. For this reason it is wise to protect your investment from the start.
There are correct and incorrect methods for maintaining each specific type of stone. While improper maintenance may give a desired appearance, it can cause deterioration which may go unnoticed for years.
The most typical failing of these methods involves the use of waxes, polymers and synthetic finishes, which are used to coat the stone with a durable film. Unfortunately, these coatings will not allow the stone to naturally breathe and the harsh alkalinity of strippers needed to refinish them off can cause efflorescence which will also deteriorate the stone.
Continued use of these outdated techniques will eventually damage the stone so extensively that it can no longer be restored to look as it should. Fortunately, Nu Life has combined modern technology and space age materials to create a stone care system that makes sense! Whether your stone is old or new, the Nu Life system offers you a safe, beautiful, durable surface which enhances the beauty and value of your dimensional stone.
Concrete
Concrete has become the designer surface of choice lately as designers discover how beautiful it can be. These beautifying methods actually make the surface even more durable then it is naturally is. The palette of colors is infinite providing looks to emulate natural stone or very bold designs for contemporary tastes. The concrete floors can be completely seamless for added ease of maintenance, or with patterns cut in, to provide aesthetic appeal and a way to mix colors in various pattern combinations. The finishes offered can be varied to what the client desires; no-slip honed finishes for external areas, high polished internal floors to really bring out the color, and honed or polished antiqued or “distressed” finishes only offered by Nu Life Stone Care. The combinations are truly limitless. We are also experts in concrete acid-staining which, with the bold colors and interesting mottling patterns, will make you floors the conversation piece of your home or business.
Why Nu Life is your best choice for stone & concrete restoration
Equipment
To be on the cutting-edge of this fast moving industry new equipment must be added regularly. We use the best equipment available and are involved in consulting for development of new equipment. This benefits us and our customer as this equipment helps us complete our work faster, and the customer gets a better job. There is work I did several years ago that I cringe to think of how much better it could have been with the equipment I have now. Many of my competitors still use the outdated techniques and equipment.
Knowledge
We have been in the business of stone restoration since 1991, and in the stone industry for many years prior to that as a licensed stone & tile installation contractor. In this business I believe you will find that this type of experience is very hard to find.
Our principal (who does all the work) is an internationally recognized lecturer in the field of stone restoration and has authored many articles, multi-media presentations, and a book on stone restoration which has sold hundreds of copies worldwide.
We use products from many different suppliers and have our own proprietary formulas. Every year we add to our “bag of tricks” techniques to complete our work better and faster. Our love for the business and desire to grow, means we know the science behind what we are doing, and how to avoid costly mistakes. You can not short-cut experience, we have paid our dues. It’s called hard work. We believe in it. It’s good for the soul.
Environment
Many of our restoration techniques were developed with the environment in mind. We have designed our cleaning system to use a low volume of water, and most of our chemicals are non-toxic. Our cleaning systems also allow us to use a very light concentration of cleaning agents, relying on more of a "mechanical" process to achieve our results. We simply cannot call ourselves "Nu Life" and at the same time do harm to our beautiful environment.
Personnel
Nu Life's technicians are trained to be experts in all areas of stone and marble, concrete and tile & grout maintenance. They know the products and their applications, the requirements of different types of stone, and how to recognize and correct problems before they become irreparable. We at Nu Life believe that our techniques and service cannot be beat.
At your request we will arrange a consultation in your home or business where we will assess the condition of your stone or other hard surface, prescribe the necessary service, and process a sample area. You will be able to compare our quality, durability, value, and beauty. All work is guaranteed to meet your high standards.
Let us give your stone, tile and concrete surfaces a Nu Life!
