Why Didn’t My Granite Fabricator Offer Me Granite Shield?
Why Didn’t My Granite Fabricator Offer Me Granite Shield?
This is the question we get all the time. When a customer of
natural stone goes to a kitchen and bath store or to a granite fabricator and
purchased their granite countertops many times they are not given the choice to
have Granite Shield or explained Granite Shield is available as an option. The
granite fabricator many times just says they sealed their granite before
installation. Sealers are not lacquers, they wash away. Many times no
explanation of how long it will last so the customer a lot of times assumes the
granite was sealed and never has to seal it again. That is only with Granite
Shield. Even homebuyers of older homes purchase a home and were told the
granite countertop was sealed and they assume because it was sealed it never
has to be sealed again and then they get a stain.
Many times just after a short period after the granite countertop
was installed the new owner of the granite their countertop stains or it
absorbing even water and they are afraid it will stain and they are afraid to
use their countertop. The calls we get include granite countertops purchased
from the big box stores that are supposed to have the 15 year sealer and well
known 15 year sealers.
Many in the granite industry just don’t understand the
chemistry of sealers. That not all sealers are the same. That a one polymer
sealer will wash away after several times the countertop was cleaned leaving
the granite countertop to allow harmful bacteria to embed into the pores allow
surface stains.
Unless it is Granite Shield, the permanent lifetime sealer with
small, medium and large polymers capped with a carbon crystal the sealer is not
long term. Permanent and Lifetime VS a long term warranty are 2 different
things. Granite Shield on granite countertops permanently bonds to the stone
and is embedded deep into the stone along with the different sized polymers,
the other sealers don’t. The Granite Shield sealer can’t wash away like the
others.
Since 2002 Granite Shield has been known in the granite
industry as the best long term sealer available and was even being offered by a
couple of well-known big box stores to their customer when selling the
countertop. Some of the big box stores and large countertop fabricators and
manufactures have approached Granite Shield to use Granite Shield sealers but
to private label the sealer including for man-made artificial stone countertops
which those big box stores had been turned down unless the sealer being used is
called Granite Shield, not private labeled. Because we wouldn’t private label
the big box stores decided to go a different direction but we get the calls to
remove the stains and reseal the countertops.
If you simply want the best for the countertop you spent or
are spending thousands of dollars for insist on Granite Shield. Granite Shield
is not just a sealer protecting your natural stone from stains but it also deeply
cleans your stone, makes the countertop smoother and shinier plus you don’t need
to use granite cleaners. It doesn’t matter how good of a polish is on your
granite, Granite Shield still improves it. There is really no excuse for your
granite fabricator or sealing service to not offer Granite Shield to you making
it your choice which sealer to go with. If the excuse is it costs too much to
get started, we offer a low cost startup kit and a rush is offered to get the
startup kit sooner. Insist you have heard about Granite Shield and want the
option to have it, it’s easy to apply and it’s affordable to get and doesn’t
take long to apply. Insist you want the Cadillac of granite sealers not the Volkswagen
Beetle of granite sealers. Your Granite fabricator can get started and licensed
with our trial offer for as low as $349.99 plus shipping and the starter kit
can seal 2 to 3 countertops depending on the sq. ft. that needs to be sealed
and how porous the countertops are with a lifetime warranty.

Granite Standard Sealers and 15 Year Sealers - How Long Do They Really Last?
Owners of granite countertops in many cases have not been educated about granite and natural stone. Many believe it’s just a rock and rocks are hard and will never stain or just a standard sealer or 15 year sealers once applied their countertop will never need to be sealed again. That simply isn’t true. Pick up a rock and pour water on it and what happens? It gets dark, water penetrated that stone. Just because a granite countertop was polished doesn’t mean water won’t penetrate that stone especially if the granite has, white, yellow, gold, tan or gray in it. Those are the most porous stones and stain.
Many that seal granite countertops have been using the same product for years. Many are old school and really aren’t interested in change. Many aren’t interested in explaining the difference to the customer and letting the customer decide because easy or being familiar with something is easier than the best. The new product may cost a little more for themselves to purchase and the case is because the raw material such as the polymers to make the product cost more money to manufacture not to just charge someone more money. They may never see that customer again so it doesn’t matter what happens in the future or the purpose is to see that customer again as a repeat customer and charge to reseal.

Granite Shield VS Standard Sealers and 15 Year Sealers
Love the beauty of granite but don't want the maintenance of natural stone? You don't have to settle for man made artificial stone or settle for the 1 polymer sealer that washes away and even the so called 15 year sealer that washes away. Only Granite Shield applies different sized polymers to embed into the stone that also lifts out contaminants and capped with a permanent carbon crystal. With the small, medium and large polymers embedded into the stone and capped with the permanent sealer the sealer protecting the stone doesn't wash away like all of the other sealers. Just because your granite has been sealed doesn't mean it is still sealed. Many sealers last less than 6 months which means not just your granite's surface but below the surface into the pores is being exposed to bacteria. Don't risk your health or your families health. With Granite Shield liquids and bacteria don't penetrate the stone or pores of the stone.

Is Your Granite Countertop Harboring E. coli and Salmonella Bacteria?
Is your granite or other type of natural stone countertop harboring bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella? Do a water test. Pour water on your countertop and let it sit for a period of time. If the water penetrates the stone then bacteria is settling into the pores of the stone. When you clean you are only cleaning the surface. When Granite Shield seals natural stone countertops they are not only sealed preventing liquid and bacteria to penetrate the stone the pores of the stone are cleaned and dirt and bacteria is lifted out of the stone preventing liquid and bacteria entering the stone again.
