Sealing Your New Kitchen Countertop
To seal or not to seal? That is the question that comes up a lot once your new natural stone kitchen countertops are installed. First, you should find out whether your new countertop has already been treated. During processing from block to slab, many factories use a resin coat to fill in the stone and stop any fissuring of the stone.
Know Your Stone and Know Your Facts Prior to Selecting a Sealant
The Marble Institute of America (MIA) is a leading authority on information regarding standards, practices, and suitable applications for natural stone products. You can find varying opinions in the industry concerning the sealing of stone for protection against stains and spills.
Talk to your fabricator or installer and gets his/her professional opinion about staining. Secondly, do a little research about your stone and the different types of sealants available. Arm yourself with the necessary information to ensure your countertop investment will last you for many years in the future.
