There is not any turnover, as the artisans are treated well and are happy in their line of work. What Spiro at first thought was becoming a lost art has had a re-birth in an affluent society. Marble is a wonderful substance, and it's not a surprise that it is experiencing a resurgence in popuIarity, especially among upscale and custom home builders and their clients. It comes out of the earth in veins, and is quarried into 4'x8' slabs. He is especially proud of the many different edgings which he has created.
Marble is attached to a surface with a special glue tinted to match as closely as possible.
The advantages of using marble are that it is not only incredibly beautiful, but that it is also almost indestructible. With proper maintenance, it will last forever. Proper maintenance is required to take care of the shiny finish, not the marble itself. According to Spiro and his wife, over-thecounter products are not so great. A liquid marble maintenance product from Germany is what they recommend, as it protects the surface along with maintaining the shine and sealant.
