Is AntiEtch® Worth It? The Long-Term Value of Marble Protection
Many homeowners love the look of marble countertops but worry about the cost of maintaining them. If you’ve ever dealt with etching, stains, or constant resealing, you might be wondering—is AntiEtch® really worth the investment?
Unlike traditional marble sealers, AntiEtch® is designed to provide permanent protection against etching and stains, offering a long-term solution that eliminates frequent repairs and maintenance.
In this post, we’ll break down the cost vs. benefit of AntiEtch® and why it’s the best choice for homeowners who want to protect their marble surfaces.
Understanding the True Cost of Marble Maintenance
Marble is a high-end material, but it requires continuous maintenance to keep it looking beautiful. Without protection, homeowners often deal with:
- Frequent professional resealing (every 6-12 months)
- Costly etch and stain removal treatments
- Surface refinishing and polishing
- Potential countertop replacement due to deep damage
These recurring expenses add up over time, making standard marble care a long-term financial burden.
How AntiEtch® Saves You Money
By eliminating the need for constant maintenance, AntiEtch® significantly reduces the lifetime cost of owning marble countertops. Here’s how:
| Expense | Without AntiEtch® | With AntiEtch® |
|---|---|---|
| Professional Sealing | Every 6-12 months | Never needed |
