I have a number of burning questions after reading the question and (http://maplered.com) answer site.
1. I've been reading (after purchase) that using limeStone (http://g603.net) in the home is not recommended. I just purchased over 2000 sq ft. for the floor, including kitchen and (http://maplered.com) bathrooms I was under the impression, however, that all limeStone (http://g603.net) s are not created equally. I purchased one from the Turek limeStone (http://g603.net) collection (sold by Marble Systems) called "Golden Ruby". Know anything about this particular limeStone (http://g603.net) ? Should I slash my wrist now?
2. Looks like the best thing I could do with it would be to have installer clean with muriatic acid to take some polish off -- is that correct?
3. What about butt joints vs. a small joint? What is recommended? (I read something that made me think there was something not-so-great about butt joints.) It's an 18" x 18" limeStone (http://g603.net) .
4. I'm considering honed or brushed Atlantic Black "Granite (http://tanbrown.org) " for kitchen Counter (http://GialloFiorito.com) . In general, it seems that this could be a maintenance nightmare, but I have a few questions. What would be the "best" finish? Honed or brushed? It is warned to "enrich" rather than to use and (http://maplered.com) impregnator sealer. I'm confused by this because there are "enrichment sealers". Our neighbors used an enriching sealer on their travertine and (http://maplered.com) we left red wine on it all night and (http://maplered.com) there was no stain. Anything wrong with using an enrichment-type sealer on Atlantic Black honed/brushed?
