Matte / honed
A flat, non-reflective finish for honed marble, leathered granite, soapstone, and any surface meant to read soft. Diffuses light instead of bouncing it, so there is no sheen to give the film away.
Countertop protection film · Broken Arrow, OK
Preserve the original.
An optically clear film, applied over your finished countertop. Acid, heat, knives and red wine stop at the surface of the film. The stone underneath stays the day it was set.

The film
Six thousandths
of an inch.
Thin enough to vanish at the edge. Hard enough to take every hit meant for your stone. Lithos film is a urethane laminate with a self-healing topcoat and an optically clear adhesive — the same chemistry that protects the paint on a new car, cut and fitted to a kitchen.
Finished right, you find the seam with a fingertip, not with your eyes.

Finishes
It matches what
you already have.
Film comes in two finishes, and we choose the one that matches your stone. A honed counter stays honed. A polished counter keeps its reflection. The protection is identical either way — the only thing that changes is how light comes off the surface.
Gloss / polished
A clear, reflective finish for polished marble, quartzite, quartz, and granite. Keeps the depth and the mirror in the stone — the look you paid for when you chose a polished slab.
No matter the finish, and no matter the stone, we can film it.
What it stops
Everything a kitchen does to stone.
Most countertop damage isn't dramatic. It's a lemon left on the counter, a pan set down without thinking, four years of cleaner and grit. It accumulates, and polish doesn't grow back.
Acid etching
Lemon, vinegar, wine and most "natural" cleaners dissolve the polish on marble in seconds. On film, they sit there until you wipe them up.
Heat rings
Set-down heat from pans, mugs and appliances hazes engineered quartz permanently. The film absorbs the contact instead.
Scratches & knife scores
Ceramic dishes, grit under a cutting board, a knife used straight on the counter. Fine marks fade out of the topcoat on their own.
Staining
Olive oil, coffee, turmeric, red wine. Stone is porous and sealer wears off. Film is not porous at all.
Dulling
The slow one. Daily wiping flattens the reflection until the whole run looks tired. The film wears; the polish underneath doesn't.
UV fade
Resin-based quartz yellows in a sunlit window over time. The film carries UV inhibitors so the island by the glass ages like the rest.
Surfaces
Every stone has its weak point.
We fit film to what you already own — including slabs that fabricators will tell you can't be sealed any further.
Marble
Etches on contact with anything acidic. The most beautiful and the least forgiving.
Quartzite
Genuinely hard — but the polish still goes flat, and the finish is the expensive part.
Quartz
Engineered resin. Scorches under a hot pan and yellows in direct sun.
Granite
Porous where the sealer thins. Oil finds those spots first, usually by the range.
Soapstone
Soft enough to mark with a fingernail. Beautiful, and permanently recording your week.
Porcelain & sintered
Chips at the miter and the sink cut-out, exactly where you can't repair it.
Recent work
Kitchens you'd never
know were filmed.
That's the point. Every one of these has film on it right now.
Process
One day, done properly.
Most kitchens are templated and wrapped in a single visit. Nothing is removed, nothing is refinished, and you're back on the counters that evening.
01
Template
Every run is measured and digitally templated — seam to seam, around the sink, over the miter and down the waterfall. Film is cut to your slab, not trimmed to it on site.
02
Strip and prep
Old sealer, polish residue, cooking oil and cleaner film all come off first. Adhesive only bonds to stone that is genuinely clean, and this is where most bad installs go wrong.
03
Wet application
The film is floated into position on a slip solution so it can be aligned to the edge exactly, then locked down. No repositioning marks, no stretched corners.
04
Squeegee and cure
Solution is drawn out from the centre to the edges. Light use is fine the same evening; the adhesive reaches full bond over the next 24 to 48 hours.
05
Raking-light inspection
We check the whole surface under low, angled light — the only way lift, debris and edge gaps actually show. You walk it with us before we pack up.
Reversible
It comes off as cleanly as it went on.
Lithos film lifts with heat and leaves no adhesive, no ghosting and no shadow at the edge. Change the kitchen, sell the house, or just re-film after a decade of hard use — the stone underneath is the stone you paid for, in the condition you first saw it.
That's the whole idea. Protection you can undo is protection worth applying.

Questions
Before you book.
Can you see it?
Not from across the room, and usually not from across the counter. The film is optically clear and takes on the sheen of what's underneath. Where you notice it is the edge — which is why the edge work is the part that separates a good install from a bad one.
Does it change how the counter feels?
Slightly. Film is a touch warmer and marginally smoother than polished stone. Most people stop noticing within a week. If you want to feel it first, we'll leave a sample on your counter for a few days.
Can I still cut and set hot pans on it?
Hot pans, yes — straight out of the oven onto the counter is exactly the kind of thing the film is there to absorb, and it's the damage that would otherwise scorch engineered quartz or cook a sealer. Cutting is the one to keep a board for: the topcoat heals the fine scratches that dull a polish over time, but a knife drawn hard across it will still leave a line.
How do I clean it?
Warm water and any pH-neutral cleaner. No abrasives, no scouring pads, no ammonia. Ironically the acidic cleaners that ruin marble are now the ones you avoid for the film's sake rather than the stone's.
How long does it last?
Up to ten years, depending on which film goes down and how hard the counter lives. Several of the films we install carry a manufacturer's warranty — we'll tell you which one is going on your stone and what it covers before you book, not after. When it does reach the end, it's removed and replaced — the stone underneath doesn't change.
What does it cost?
Priced by square footage and complexity — an island with a waterfall and a mitered edge takes longer than a straight run. Send photos and a rough footage and we'll quote it without a site visit.
Do you work on new installs?
That's the best time to do it. Film applied to a slab that has never been used protects a genuinely perfect finish. We coordinate with fabricators and builders across the Tulsa metro.
