Innovation at Your Fingertips

With just a few easy steps, you can create genuine veined marble finishes and visual appeal on most existing surfaces in just two days. Each finished project has the look of premium marble. And, you get to determine if you want soft, elegant marble veining that flows or something more distinct and defined. You can even use a hair dryer to get soft swirls! Kits come in either Pristine White or Cosmos Black.

The end result is elegant. It will last for years. However, if you wish to change the look of the surface, you can use another Marble Dream kit to go over it whenever you like. This is an easy-to-use, affordable way to gain durable and realistic marble surfaces in your home.

Making It Even Easier

You’ll need to tape around the countertop edges before you begin the project. However, you do not need to remove sinks, plumbing fixtures or countertops before applying this product. And, it can be applied to laminates, concrete, plywood, MDF, stone, pre-coated and solid surfaces.

There’s surprisingly little work involved in the project. Most of the time you’re waiting for an application to dry and cure so you can move on to the next step. Day #1 involves three hours of work time applying the marble base coat, marble veins and marble top coat. Day #2 involves just two hours of work with applying two separate coats of protective top coat. This step-by-step video show you how to get great results.
