Cindie Taylor-pamula on Dec 28, 2013Yes that's correct, a GOOD sealer. And it being white you may need to do this every 6 months. White is the most up keep. It's strong but, you need to be very careful how you also clean this day by day. No scrubbing or your asking for more stains , problems.Helpful Reply

Terra Gazelle on Dec 28, 2013Almost any stone has to be sealed and taken special care of..it is organic. Cultured stone is what I want. It is manmade with a layer of Quartz. It does not need sealed and its the same color all the way through. Silestone, Caesarstone, and Zodiac are a few of the manufacturers of cultured stone. They can look just like granite without the care of it. Call the installer and have them come look at it.Helpful Reply

Laura McKenna on Dec 28, 2013Definitely not sealed properly -- the water should be beading up, not absorbing. Get them back to fix it ASAP!Helpful Reply

Waysouth on Dec 29, 2013the stone mason tells me that if granite is correctly finished, the surface should repel water without artificial sealants. Me, I love my wood with it's forgiving surface and natural beauty. Granite for gravestones!Helpful Reply
