Product Details
Historic stone has to be treated with more care than newer stone. This manual deals with the procedures for cleaning and restoring historic stone. The restoration, repair and/or maintenance of historic interior stone and tile surfaces is not that much different than the treatment of new stone and tile surfaces. The differences have to do with the approach one takes when treating these surfaces. Rule #1 when dealing with historic stone surfaces is to stay within the Secretary of Interiors Standards for rehabilitation. These standards are well known throughout the historic conservation community and should be used as a guide when writing specifications or prescribing treatments for interior stone and tile surfaces. The standards are included in this manual along with the correct procedures used when dealing with historic stone.
