Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is Scudo Stone and what kind of protection do you offer?
Scudo Stone is a Miami-based company specializing in providing elevated protection for premium surfaces such as kitchen countertops, restaurant tables, bars, backsplashes, and furniture exposed to daily use. Our signature high-performance, ultra-clear protective film is designed to protect and crafted to preserve, ensuring each installation combines functionality with elegance. In addition to natural stone, our film is also ideal for protecting porcelain surfaces, which are increasingly used in modern interiors for their visual appeal and durability. Every edge and corner is meticulously covered to guarantee full protection from every angle.
2
What surfaces can you protect?
We provide a high level of protection for marble, granite, quartz, wood, stainless steel, glass, porcelain, and other smooth or slightly textured surfaces. In restaurants and residential settings, this includes tables, countertops, bar areas, and backsplashes, making our solution ideal for high-end hospitality and luxury interiors. If you have a specific material in mind, we’ll find a solution for you with the utmost diligence.
3
Is the protective film removable or permanent?
The film is designed for long-term durability but is not permanent. It can be removed without damaging the original surface when done by a qualified professional. This is essential to avoid accidental harm to the stone during the removal process.In rare cases, certain materials may retain minimal adhesive residue once the film is removed. When this occurs, we recommend a professional surface refinement to restore the stone to its original flawless finish.This approach ensures that your investment remains protected, adaptable and aesthetically perfect for years to come.
4
How is Scudo Stone different from other protection solutions?
Unlike sealants or protective sprays, which do not create a true physical barrier and require frequent reapplication, Scudo Stone uses a premium, ultra-clear protective film that acts as a strong shield against scratches, stains, and everyday wear, without altering the original look of your surface.
We also stand out from companies that use thicker protective layers, which often fail to properly cover edges and corners. This not only affects aesthetics but also leaves areas exposed, making it easier for the material to peel over time due to contraction and frequent use.In contrast, our signature technology combines strength with precision, guaranteeing discreet, seamless coverage that is both elegant and functional. Every edge is meticulously protected to ensure long-lasting results and a flawless finish.
5
How long does the installation process take?
The installation time depends on the size and complexity of the surface, but most projects are completed over the course of a day to ensure a precise and meticulous finish.
For large commercial spaces or residential projects with extensive areas, we’ll provide an estimated timeline before starting the work.
6
Will the film change the look or color of my surface?
Not at all. Our protective film is ultra-clear and designed to preserve the original beauty and finish of your material. In fact, it often enhances the natural shine, making it perfect for luxury kitchens, upscale bars, and hospitality environments.
7
Is the film heat resistant?
Yes. Our protective film is designed to withstand high temperatures and has been tested to perform reliably at up to 176°F (80°C) without losing clarity or adhesion.This is far beyond the typical heat your surfaces encounter during everyday use.
However, we strongly recommend that you do not expose the film to direct heat sources above this limit.
Always use trivets or heat pads for hot cookware to ensure maximum durability and preserve the beauty of your surfaces.
8
Is the protective film waterproof?
Absolutely. The film creates a water-resistant barrier that prevents moisture, spills, and stains from penetrating your surface, making cleaning and maintenance easier, especially in bars, restaurants, and high-traffic hospitality areas.
9
How do I clean and maintain my protected surface?
Cleaning is easy. Use a microfiber cloth or a Bounty paper towel with mild soap and water. You can also use 70% isopropyl alcohol or Windex, as our material has been tested with these products and shows no signs of deterioration. Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals, as they are unnecessary and could compromise the finish over time.
10
Is the film safe for food contact?
Yes, Our protective film is non-toxic and food-safe, making it ideal for kitchen countertops and restaurant tables or bar tops.
11
Do you offer warranties on your installation?
Yes, Scudo Stone provides a warranty that covers material performance and professional installation. We stand behind the durability and quality of our work
12
What type of protective film does Scudo Stone use?
