Granite
Granite is stain, scratch and heat resistant and, therefore, very difficult to damage (however, it is still possible to stain and scratch the surface). Most granite slabs currently receive a resin coating such that you will not have to seal or reseal your surfaces. If the colour you have selected does not have this resin coating we can direct you to sealing products that you can apply to the surface once a year. If the water on the countertop stops beading and starts absorbing then it is time to reseal the surface.
Granite and other natural stone products are porous in nature and are comprised of many particles. Some slabs will have pitting and fissures that can be felt with your hand. This, as well as the markings on a particular slab are normal and create the uniqueness of each piece of granite we work with.
