Video transcript
This video follows a complete Marble Armor installation on a marble countertop, step by step. The surface is cleaned and polished first, because the film needs a flawless foundation. The protective film is then measured and pre cut for each surface, applied as an invisible barrier against etching, staining, and everyday wear, and trimmed at the edges until the finish is nearly undetectable. The installer works the film around the sink cutout, the highest risk area for water, oils, and acidic liquids. The second half answers the four questions customers ask most: how long the film lasts, how to clean it (regular non abrasive products, Dawn dish soap and a sponge is our recommendation), whether it changes the look of the stone (it comes in matte and polish options), and whether it can be removed (yes, by our technicians, without damage). Full narration below.
