Micro-cracks, covered terraces and twice-yearly protection
Cement moves with temperature, and the maker is direct about the consequence: the cement may contain micro-cracks and irregularities that do not affect the integrity of the product. They are part of how a cast mineral surface behaves as it cures and lives, not a sign of damage, and on a travertine-effect finish they read as part of the stone character. Knowing this before delivery is worth more than any reassurance afterwards.
The table is suitable for indoor and covered outdoor use, meaning a veranda or a sheltered terrace rather than an open garden. If it lives outside, protect it from the weather with the Iria protective covers and apply the Sterina stone protector twice a year; that second step is what keeps a porous mineral surface from taking marks from rain, leaf tannins and spilled drinks. Indoors the regime is simpler: a damp cloth, prompt attention to spills and no harsh cleaners.
