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 & Tulsa, 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 — cut to your slab, fitted to your kitchen, and built to take years of daily use.
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 — a white quartz kitchen in Jenks, filmed end to end.
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.

About
Installed by the person
who quoted it.
I've spent eight years in the protection film industry, and I kept seeing the same thing — someone spends a fortune on marble, then spends the next ten years afraid of it. Lithos ends that. We lay a clear protective film over your stone that leaves the color, veining and depth exactly as they are, while taking the etching and staining that would otherwise land on the surface.
The film takes what a working kitchen throws at it — acid, heat, knives, years of wiping — and when it finally comes off, the stone underneath is exactly as it was. I run Lithos out of Broken Arrow and I'm on every install myself, because film that isn't laid perfectly is worse than no film at all.

Questions
Before you book.
Countertop protection film in Tulsa and Broken Arrow — the questions we hear most.
What is countertop protection film?
Countertop protection film is an optically clear urethane film, about 0.006 inches thick, applied over a finished stone countertop. It takes the etching, heat marks, stains and fine scratches that would otherwise land on the stone, and it comes off later without residue. Lithos installs it across Broken Arrow and the Tulsa metro. It is built in three layers: a self-healing topcoat, the urethane film, and an optically clear adhesive that releases with heat.
Can you see the film on the countertop?
Not from across the room, and usually not from across the counter. The film is optically clear and comes in matte and gloss finishes, so it takes on the sheen of the stone underneath: honed stays honed, polished stays polished. Where you might notice it is the edge, which is why edge work separates a good install from a bad one. By touch it is a little warmer and smoother than bare stone, and 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.
How much does countertop protection film cost in Tulsa?
Every Lithos job is estimated individually when you book, based on square footage and complexity, so a straight run costs less than an island with a waterfall and mitered edges. Send a couple of photos and a rough square footage and we'll send an estimate without a site visit, usually the same day. Call (918) 513-1171 or use the countertop film quote form.
How long does installation take?
Most kitchens are templated and filmed in a single visit, and nothing is removed or refinished. Light use is fine the same evening, and the adhesive reaches full bond over the next 24 to 48 hours. If your job is larger than a typical kitchen, we'll tell you how long it will take when we quote it.
Can I put hot pans on it, or cut on it?
Hot pans, yes. Setting one straight down from the oven is exactly the kind of contact the film is there to absorb, and it's the damage that would otherwise scorch engineered quartz or cook a sealer. Keep a cutting board for knives: the self-healing topcoat closes the fine scratches that dull a polish, but a blade drawn hard across it will still leave a line.
How long does countertop film last, and is there a warranty?
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, and we'll tell you which film is going on your stone and what its warranty covers before you book. At the end of its life the film is removed and replaced; the stone underneath doesn't change. Day to day, clean it with warm water and any pH-neutral cleaner: no abrasives, scouring pads or ammonia. Ironically, the acidic cleaners that ruin marble are now the ones you avoid for the film's sake rather than the stone's.
Do you serve Tulsa, Jenks, Owasso and the rest of the metro?
Yes. Lithos works out of a shop at 1908 N Willow Ave in Broken Arrow and installs countertop film across the Tulsa metro, including Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Jenks, Bixby, Owasso and Coweta. If your town isn't on that list, call (918) 513-1171 and ask, and we'll tell you straight whether we can get to you. Each city is covered on our Tulsa-metro service area page.
Can you film new countertops before we move in?
Yes, and it's the best time to do it. Film applied to a slab that has never been used protects a genuinely perfect finish, before the first lemon or hot pan reaches it. We coordinate with fabricators and builders across the Tulsa metro, so the film can go down as soon as the countertops are set.
