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
