Cultured Marble...
Cultured Marble
Cultured marble is a mixture of fiberglass resin and crushed limestone. It is a precise blend of polyester resin, catalyst, fillers and pigments thoroughly mixed and placed into open molds which are coated with a clear gel. The gelcoat is especially formulated to produce a tough, durable, non-porous shiny surface, very stain resistant and easy to maintain.
Cultured marble products are generally coated in the mold with the gelcoat. This outer layer provides the ultimate strength to the bonded matrix and makes the final product water proof, durable, and resistant to chipping.
