A.I.R. Architecture

i am using Neolithic for the 2nd time. The first time was for an elevator installation and it looked fabulous. This time i’m using it in 3 different residential bathrooms. On installation it looked gorgeous. But a week later hairline cracks appeared below the surface of the polished finish on 2 of the 4 the calacatta wall slabs. All the other Neolithic slabs in other finishes still look good. It’s strange because the cracks are below the finish surface. We’re now trying to decide how to proceed without jeapardizing the construction schedule. I wouldn’t blow off neolith completely, it seems the problem is with this particular finish. As I said before, the 3 other neolith slabs we’re using look great.
