Avanza is non-porous, so you can enjoy the beauty of natural stone without the worries. Unlike ordinary stone, Avanza has extremely high resistance to chemicals, scratches and stains and never needs to be polished or sealed. Avanza is also heat-resistant and will not scorch under normal cooking temperatures. With routine care, Avanza will maintain its luster and beauty for many years.

Regular Cleaning
To clean Avanza, a damp cloth or paper towel is usually sufficient. To clean up sticky spots, a little liquid detergent can help. As with any countertop, it makes sense to clean up spills as soon as possible. But rest assured, Avanza can withstand exposure to tea, soda, wine, vinegar, lemon juice, and fruits and vegetables without permanently staining like ordinary stone.

Cleaning Stubborn or Dried Spills
For stubborn or dried spills, Bon-Ami is an effective cleanser. It can be used daily without damaging Avanza. Other recommended cleaning products include Formula 409, Lysol, and Greased Lightening. For extremely stubborn spills, a white scrub pad such as Scotch-Brite can be used without damaging the countertop. Be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any hazy residue that will diminish the shine and beauty of the countertop.

Avanza USA offers its residential customers a 10 year limited warranty on all Avanza installed surfacing products. This warranty covers failures caused by product defects which may occur during the first 10 years after the original installation of the product, except for those failures which arise from any physical or chemical abuse, improper maintenance, commercial applications or excessive heat or any settling occurring to the residence in which the product has been installed.

The 10 year Avanza warranty is available only to the owner of a single family residence in which the surfacing product is originally installed or, in the case of a newly constructed single-family residence, to the first owner acquiring the residence from the builder thereof with the surfacing product already installed. The warranty does not, however, cover seam performance or any surfacing product that has been removed or relocated from its original place of installation.

Specific Rights:
Avanza USA's obligation under the Avanza 10 year warranty is limited solely to the repair or replacement of the failed product. Such repair or replacement, however, shall not include the performance of any other repairs or modifications that may be necessary to achieve the actual repair or replacement of the failed surface product (such as, for example, any plumbing, electrical, tile or wall surfacing repairs or modifications) - such other repairs and modifications shall be the reponsibility of the customer. If Avanza USA determines the likelihood of failure recurrence to be high, Avanza USA retains the option to refund the original purchase price for the fabricated product and/or installation thereof paid by the customer to Avanza USA in full and final satisfaction of its warranty obligation hereunder.
Except to the extent expressly stated herein or otherwise required by applicable law, Avanza USA disclaims all warranties and representations, expressed or implied statutory or otherwise, including, without limitation, any implied or express warranties or merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and shall not be responsible or liable, in either contract or tort, for any loss, including, without limitation, direct, indirect, special, consequential or incidental damages, arising out of the use or, the inability to use of, or repairs to, the surfacing products provided or to be provided by Avanza USA. However, because some states may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the foregoing limitations or exclusions may not be applicable.
These warranties give the customer specific legal rights. Other rights may be available under applicable laws which may vary from state to state.
