Stone Restoration
Stone restoration offers a means to preserve and protect valuable archaeological information and artistic content. It is a demonstration of respect for the intentions of the original architects, builders, and sculptors. It allows us to maintain our connection to not only our history, but also to our ancestry, traditions, and cultural heritage.
Stone restoration is concerned primarily with:
- Countering the effects of time (e.g., cleaning surfaces from soiling and biological growth)
- Protecting from the elements (e.g., treatments to avert water damage and repair cracks)
- Mitigating the effects of natural disasters (e.g., fire, flood, earthquakes)
- Ameliorating the effects of neglect
