MAINTENANCE
Artificial stone mainly consists of cement and crushed stone. Therefore, it is natural that its durability cannot be as long as that of natural stone.
However, its lifespan can be extended and the aesthetics of the tombstone preserved by regularly using protective products such as Bistrol, Diava floor cleaner, or Sidolux.
For the best effect, the tombstone must have a clean and smooth surface.
Ideally, care should begin from the very start.
If this has not been done, the owner should have the tombstone resurfaced and start regular maintenance using suitable products.
What can damage the tombstone:
Candles with artificial covers — these are flammable and can ignite together with the wax, causing significant damage to candle holders and the tombstone surface.
Candles with steel covers and wreaths with metal parts — metal corrodes quickly and rust penetrates the microstructure of the artificial stone, from where it is very difficult to remove.
The result is stains from candles and rust that the owner cannot remove by ordinary means.
Recommendations for longer tombstone life:
Use regular candles and candles with aluminum covers.
Burn candles exclusively in lanterns.
Buy wreaths without metal wires — ideally fully artificial or organic ones.
Natural stone includes: rocks, marbles, and granites, which are cut and shaped to measure and have a polished surface.
Marble
Marble is very porous and softer than granite, so its lifespan is much shorter.
In winter, water penetrates the microstructure of marble, which freezes and causes the stone to crack and break apart.
The surface begins to crumble and crack, creating ideal conditions for moss and lichens to grow, which further damage it.
This process cannot be completely stopped, only slowed down by frequent surface cleaning.
Unfortunately, marble also absorbs rust, dirt, bird droppings, and other contaminants — so it’s important that all attached items are of high quality and do not allow rust to seep through.
The marble surface needs regular care and cleaning.
Even old marble can be resurfaced by grinding, restoring its smoothness and cleanliness.
Granite
Granite is much less porous than marble and has a solid microstructure, which means greater hardness and durability.
The effects of time damage granite much more slowly.
Of course, there are differences between granites — lower quality ones deteriorate sooner, but the highest quality granites can last for generations.
Granite requires minimal maintenance.
To maintain its beauty and shine, it’s good to occasionally polish the surface with products like Okena or similar.
It’s also important to remember that accessories like crosses can start to corrode and stain the stone surface. Therefore, only buy high-quality accessories that do not corrode.
Accessories
Accessories include all decorative or functional items that are attached or placed on the monument.
Lanterns
● The most common problem is lanterns that often need to be replaced due to fire damage.
● This can be prevented by using candles with aluminum covers, which are safe.
● The most suitable are stainless steel and bronze lanterns with protective filters, which do not suffer from destructive corrosion.
● The surface of stainless steel lanterns may dull over time but can be polished again, similar to silver.
● A wide range of suitable maintenance products is available in stores.
Vases
● Another common problem is vases, especially during the winter season.
● Water inside the vase can freeze and expand, causing irreversible damage to the interior.
● Removable inserts from vases should be taken indoors for winter.
● It is also necessary to check if the vase has a drainage hole to allow water to escape.
● If the vase does not have a hole, the entire vase body may crack during freezing.
Recommendation
Cover vases and lanterns with nylon bags in winter to protect them from frost and dirt.
Memorial parts are commonly joined using ordinary cement, which does not guarantee long-term durability.
● Cement joints tend to loosen and fall out over time, which can cause instability of the entire monument.
Recommended solution:
We recommend replacing cement with a silicone-rubber compound, which:
● has three times longer lifespan,
● is more elastic – better withstands temperature changes,
● and is also more aesthetically pleasing than traditional joints.
