TSSPRO SEALANT PRODUCTS FOR GRANITE

Granite

Granite is a natural stone and the most popular igneous rock. Granite is light-colored, coarse-grained, igneous rock that consists mainly of quartz and feldspar. It is harder than marble and has visible grains. All types of granite are perfect for everyday use because they are heavy and strong, water resistant, wear and tear resistant, and durable. Countertops, floors, and walls made of different types of granite are also beautiful because this stone gets its full shine when polished. Although very hard and dense, granite is a natural stone and will stain.

Considerations for choosing a sealer: Granite is a unique substrate in that it is only vulnerable to staining.

Coverage, Number of Coats: Granite is dense. Only one light or medium coat is required whether polished or honed. After application, any excess sealer should be wiped off. Coverage will vary with the sealer selected but will vary from 350 to 500 sq ft / gallon.

Because granite is very dense it does not require the normal type of sealer, however, although dense, it will stain and should be protected from staining. Below is the sealer for stain protection.
