Consumers often lack the expertise to make informed decisions about natural stone, leading to choices driven by emotional attachment or attractive discounts. With over 1,000 types of natural stone available commercially, no two materials are identical in characteristics. Each stone type has unique traits and properties, making professional guidance essential for informed decision-making.

Our company, Stone Doctor Australia, a leading natural stone restoration specialist based in Melbourne, has observed that many clients regret their stone choices. This regret often stems from selecting materials incompatible with the intended use or choosing options that lead to higher maintenance costs due to premature degradation, acid attacks, salt damage, and other issues. Such experiences leave clients disillusioned with natural stone.

Materials like Marble, Limestone, and Travertine, which are calcite-based, are particularly susceptible to acid damage. The inappropriate use of these materials in unsuitable areas has led to frequent restoration needs, highlighting the importance of proper material selection.

To help clients avoid costly mistakes and make informed decisions, we offer a dedicated 1-hour consulting session. During this session, we provide expert advice on the suitability of various stone types for specific projects, ensuring that your material choices align with your project's needs.
