Common Questions & Answers about Granite / Marble

 DOES GRANITE NEED TO BE SEALED?
We seal the granite prior to installation. Following that, you should seal the stone after six months and again a year after installation. After the one year anniversary granite should be sealed once a year.
 DOESN'T GRANITE SCRATCH?
Granite is the least susceptible of any product to scratches. It is the second hardest natural substance next to diamond and holds its luster forever. Be sure to ask about our 400 year guarantee.
 IS GRANITE EASY TO SEAL?
Sealing granite is easier than polishing furniture. Simply spray on the sealer and wipe it off with a soft cloth. There is no scrubbing or buffing involved and a quart of sealant will last you a lifetime.
 HOW DOES GRANITE DEAL WITH HEAT?
Granite is completely impervious to heat. Unlike synthetics that can be easily damaged from a hot pot or pan, you can place any scorching hot or icy cold item directly on the stone without a worry.
 WHAT IS GRANITE'S THIRD DIMENSION?
The third dimension of depth is one of the key ways that granite sets itself apart from synthetic materials. Unlike synthetics, granite reflects light back into the room to create a luminance and feeling that can't be duplicated.
