Most of the darker coloured top quality forms of granite like; blue, black, green or brown really should not want sealing. Nevertheless, given that Granite is a natural stone, variance in density can occur, therefore we normally highly recommended checking the porosity of those varieties regarded as particularly dense.

Examining a Granite for porosity is fairly painless. Put a small amount of water on the granite, let it sit for half an hour then wipe clean. In the event that puddle gives a dark area, the granite ought to be sealed. In the event that puddle has not left a darker spot, then the Granite will not need sealing.
