This is a common question for homeowners. The first step is to apply a stone sealant- many times this is done initially when the counter is installed by the stone professional. Unsealed granite is semi-porous, and wine, grease, water and other liquids can be absorbed causing stains, especially on lighter colored stones. Most professionals recommend sealing your granite and marble every year. However, it is important to remember that a sealant such as an impregnator or dry-treat sealer cannot guarantee against staining and their warranties include many exclusions.
At Great Lakes Granite we do offer an optional solution to this problem. In conjunction with Forever Sealed, Inc. we are now proud to offer permanent granite sealing services. This sealing process protects your granite, for the lifetime of the stone, with a transferable lifetime warranty.
We have been asked many times why we do not offer a dry-treatment sealer. The answer is that we simply do not believe this is a worthwhile investment for our customers, due to the many exclusions the warranty holds. As with our stone quality, we pride ourselves on offering our customers with the highest quality product available, which we are now able to offer through Forever Sealed.
