(EstateNewsWire.com, August 02, 2012 ) Howell MI - Granite countertops are the number one choice in kitchen remodeling. When properly cared for, these beautiful natural stone creations last a lifetime and maintain their original touch of class, elegance and beauty.
Although granite is considered the hardest of natural stones used for kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities limited maintenance is required. Proper maintenance of granite countertops include annually sealing the granite surface with a quality granite sealer. Granite is moisture resistant by nature; however an annual sealing prevents stains or discolorations caused by spilled juices, sauces, cooking grease or oils. Surface Encounters (http://www.halfoffgranite.com/) designers explain to their customers how to care for and maintain their new countertops.
When sealing new granite countertops keep in mind that granite countertops may vary in porosities. This occurs because granite is a rock formation created under extreme pressure and by the solidifying of several different minerals. This variation in pressure and minerals cause each piece of granite to be uniquely formed and individually porous.
Sealing granite countertops is easy to do. Simply clean granite with a non-abrasive cleaner, wipe dry and apply sealant. Test for a proper seal by applying water to the sealed countertop and watching for it to bead up, like on a newly waxed car. Surface Encounters carries the best products for cleaning and sealing new and existing granite countertops.
For the best results experts recommend working in small areas at a time and following the sealant manufacturer’s cleaning instructions. Some areas may require two coats and so be sure allow for plenty of drying time between coats. Also, make sure there is proper ventilation when working with stone sealant. Finally, allow 12 to 14 hours drying time before using the countertop.
Annual sealing protects countertops from stains and permanent discoloration. Once sealed, granite countertops are easy to maintain by simply washing as needed with a mild anti-bacterial kitchen cleanser.
Properly maintained, the natural beauty and grain of granite countertops, like the ones available at Surface Encounters will last a lifetime and provide years of enjoyment. That’s why granite countertop owners agree that granite is the best choice for kitchen and bathroom countertop surfaces.
