There are plenty of reasons granite has become the preferred countertop material for today's top designers and homeowners. It's the only countertop solution that will increase the value of your home to prospective buyers. Due to light reflecting off its natural crystals, granite has a unique personality not seen in other materials.
The best way to improve stain resistance is to apply a penetrating sealer, also known as an impregnator. Unlike waxes or other coatings, these sealers go below the surfaes and protect the stone from within. Marble and Limestone are susceptible to the aggressive action of acids and alcohol. Care should be taken to remove spillages of fruit juice (particularily lemon), wine, vinegar, beetroot, etc.

The use of 30mm countertops seems to be the trend in kitchens and 20mm in bathrooms. Back splashes are usually made from 20mm thick material. It is possible to go for a 20+20mm thick edge, thereby giving the impression of 40mm thick stone (a narrow strip of 20mm is glued on to the underside of the 20mm slab along the edge).
Polished is the most widely used and is the most resilient to stains. This gives the granite a smooth and even surface, making it less porous and therefore less susceptible to stains. Honed gives the stone a matt finish, and black honed surfaces are often used instead of slate - granite being much more hardwearing.

I got my countertops done at MTM and was not sorry. They worked with my cabinetry supplier and I did not have to go very long without counters. Arlen explained the possess and I got to pick my granite as a slab. Not with just a small sample! I do not think anyone has Arlen's expertise in stone any where in southern Alberta!!
Thank you!!! I refer you all the time!
