Welcome to a new standard of excellence in stone care with MORE® AntiEtch®. Expertly formulated to prevent etching and staining, this state-of-the-art, transparent coating protects your natural stone surfaces. No matter what the day brings, it guards against the damaging effects of acidic substances and maintains the flawless beauty of your stone, ensuring it remains the centerpiece in your space for years to come.
Etching—the dulling and discoloration of stone—occurs when acidic substances encounter sensitive surfaces. MORE® AntiEtch® innovatively prevents this, giving your stone an invisible shield that repels harmful interactions and preserves its natural elegance and finish. This barrier helps ensure the look and feel of your stone are not compromised, maintaining a like-new appearance even in high-use areas.
Life’s daily spills are unavoidable, but they shouldn’t compromise your stone’s beauty. MORE® AntiEtch® ensures that accidents in high-traffic areas—from spilled wine to drops of lemon, lime, or vinegar—leave no trace, making stone surfaces 100% etch and stain-proof. It protects against damage from facial cleansers, makeup, and other personal care products in bathroom areas. However, while MORE® AntiEtch® effectively shields against chemical damage, it does not provide scratch resistance. This dual protection is essential in residential and commercial settings, where maintaining the appearance of natural stone surfaces is a top priority.
STEP 1
During the site visit, our experts will assess the condition of your countertops to determine the extent of any current staining or etching. Based on our evaluation, you’ll receive an estimate which includes the project timeline, typically 1-3 days, depending upon the amount of restoration needed.
STEP 2
Once the estimate is approved, our team will begin by preparing your space, ensuring the area is protected and accessible. Next, we’ll remove any existing stains and etch marks, sanding the countertops with a HEPA vacuum system to control dust and maintain a clean environment.
STEP 3
Our team carefully measures the precise amount of liquid and activator needed for your countertop to provide a flawless application. The MORE® AntiEtch® is then poured and allowed to self-level before being cured with a UV light for a durable, long-lasting finish.
STEP 4
To complete the process, our team sands the countertop to achieve your desired finish - either honed or polished. Once finished, your surface will be fully protected against any etching and staining for years to come!

Marble etching is a chemical reaction between the acidic substance (i.e. lemon, wine) and the calcium carbonate in the marble. The result is a change in surface texture and appearance, a noticeable dull mark which depending on the substance may be accompanied by stains or discoloration.
Usually, marble etching is caused by exposure to acidic substances such as citrus juices, vinegar, wine, coffee, and harsh household cleaners.
Marble etching can be repaired through professional refinishing services that restore the stone’s finish. However, these repairs costs can vary depending on the severity of the etch mark, the type of material and the desired finish. Preventing etching with protective measures is the best, most cost-effective solution.
