Considerations for Using Como

Follow these essential care and installation tips to ensure Como’s long-lasting beauty and performance, keeping your stone flawless for years.

• Installation: Given its weight, professional installation is recommended for Como to ensure that it’s properly supported and aligned. Adequate structural support is crucial to maximise its durability.
• Heat Resistance: Como is heat-resistant but should be protected from direct heat sources to avoid thermal shock. To maintain its integrity, avoid placing hot items directly on the surface.
• Colour Retention: Although Como is UV resistant, it’s still advisable to protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially in scorching climates, to prevent slight fading over time.
• Cleaning and Care: Como is easy to maintain with regular cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the surface. A mild soap solution and water are all needed to keep your stone looking as beautiful as the day it was installed.

Care and Maintenance

Keep Como looking its best with simple, practical care tips that preserve its beauty and enhance its durability over time.

• Daily Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft cloth or sponge using a mild detergent to maintain Como’s stunning appearance. This removes dirt and grime without damaging the stone.
• Stain Prevention: Como’s non-porous surface makes it highly resistant to stains, but cleaning up any spills promptly is still advisable. A mild soap solution can be used to maintain its surface for tough stains.
• Avoiding Scratches: While Como is scratch-resistant, it’s best to use cutting boards to protect the surface from potential damage. Avoid dragging heavy furniture or sharp objects across the stone.
• Sealing: Unlike some natural stones, Como doesn’t require sealing. Keep the surface clean to preserve its lustrous appearance.
