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.
