Sealer for Granite

When it comes to granite, it has become a constant debate whether to seal it or not. First of all, what is sealing? Sealing is the process of treating the surface of a natural stone to prevent it from being stained or corroded. Granite can absorb liquids but when it is sealed, the sealant slows down the absorption process and gives you more time to wipe of the mess. However, please take note that a sealant does not make your stone impenetrable. It just helps protect it.  

Should granite be sealed? The answer is, it depends. The general opinion is that it should be. However, there are specific types of granite does not necessarily need to be sealed. There are certain types of granite that are naturally so compact that it already makes it difficult for liquids to penetrate.  However, some opt to seal all their granite for added protection.

So ultimately, the question of whether to seal or not to seal is a decision we leave for our clients to decide. We, at Stone World, don’t have a blanket recommendation for granite because it really all comes down to the specific type used.
