Fissures, dry seams, and surface pits along with mineral, crystal, and quartz deposits are common and are not considered defects. These natural variations will not affect the integrity of the installation over time. All slabs must be inspected with your salesperson or project manager prior to installation.

FINISH

Granite slabs rarely stain when properly sealed and maintained. Most stains can be removed with a poultice. All slabs are sealed prior to installation and final delivery. Most slabs are sealed at the quarry with an aggressive high quality penetrating epoxy resin. Miracle Sealants Porous Plus 511 can be used for extended maintenance.

CHIPS, SCRATCHING, AND HEAT

Granite countertops are extremely hard surfaces and very resistant to chipping, scratching, and heat. Scratches can buffed out and chips can be filled with colored or clear epoxy resin without compromising aesthetics or structural integrity. Granite tops are very unlikely to born or scorch with hot cooking utensils. It is recommended to use hot pads for pots and pans.
