Granite is a hard, igneous rock. It is produced within the earth's crust, at very high temperature and pressure, generating its incredible toughness. While the composition of Granite may vary, you can find common tough compounds like quartz, silica and feldspar found in all Granites irrespective of where it is mined. Even though Granite is tough, it may be damaged. Scratches and etch damage will sooner or later result in a loss of shine. But worn Granite doesn't always have to be changed.

Granite will need a full restoration if you have any lippage, scratches or damage. Jagged tiles are often unattractive, and in some cases, a slip hazard.

Granite Cleaning And Sealing

When you do some searching online, you will discover different viewpoints and recommendations for sealing Granite floors and granite worktops. The main reason is that lack of knowledge about the stone and how sealers perform.

A lot of the dark coloured premium forms of granite like; brown, green, blue or black really should not need sealing. Nevertheless, while Granite is a natural product, differences in porosity may appear, therefore we also recommended testing the porosity of those varieties regarded as particularly dense.

Testing a Granite for density is quite simple. Put a little quantity of water on the granite, let it work for half an hour and then wipe clean. If the water leaves behind a darker area, the granite must be sealed. If the pool has not resulted in a darker spot, and then your Granite will not want to be sealed.

However, granite floors always want sealing, because floor grout is porous. In the event the Granite is porous, we're going to seal your Granite with a top-quality Granite Sealer. The Sealer permeates the Granite, causing a powerful protection.
