The term Granite is used for
a wide variety of hard stones with different mineralogical
properties. Granites susceptibility
to staining varies depending on the density of the stone
and ranges from not sensitive to highly sensitive.
| Granite properties:
• Highly scratch resistant.
• Dark colors are slightly porous and require
a penetrative sealer.
• Light colors are reasonably porous and require
1 or 2 extra coats of sealer.
• Resistant to mild acids (Such as food and
drink).
• Recommended for kitchen and bathroom benchtops.
|
Penetrative sealers are designed to reduce capillary action
and thus slow down the penetration of staining liquids.
Spilled liquids should be wiped up and not left on benchtops.
