Optimal Timing for Granite Sealings
Granite sealings are essential for protecting natural stone surfaces from stains, moisture, and damage. Proper timing ensures optimal results and longevity of the sealant, maintaining the appearance and durability of granite countertops, flooring, and other surfaces.
Sealing granite before installation helps protect the surface during handling and setup, especially if the stone is unsealed.
Applying sealant after installation allows the surface to fully cure and ensures maximum absorption and protection.
Re-sealing every 1-3 years depending on usage and sealant type maintains optimal protection over time.
Sealing is recommended when water no longer beads on the surface or if stains become more difficult to remove.

Granite sealings serve as a protective barrier that prevents liquids, oils, and stains from penetrating the stone. Proper timing of sealant application enhances the surface’s resistance to damage and maintains its aesthetic appeal. Sealers are typically applied with a brush or spray and require adequate curing time for optimal effectiveness. Regular maintenance and re-sealing are recommended to ensure continuous protection, especially in areas with frequent use or exposure to spills.
