Resealing Granite Seams

If granite slab edges do not happen to meet at a kitchen fixture builders and contractors often put them in areas that may be covered up during typical use such as near a stove or a corner ideal for a dish rack or microwave.

Resealing granite seams.

Seams are typically hidden in places where they would be less noticeable such as next to a sink or refrigerator. Also avoid returning any kitchenware to the counter until after. Test whether the granite needs sealing. Consult a trusted countertop company for guidance on how often to seal your countertops.

Stick each pair of suction cups on either side of the granite seam. Think of it as placing 2 or 3 bridges over the seam with each turnbuckle serving as the bridge span and the suction cups as the bridge piers. Depending on how often you use the countertops and how light or dark the granite is you may need to seal it anywhere from every three months to yearly. Try to space the suction cups an equal distance from the seam roughly 2 3 in 5 1 7 6 cm each.

Sealers at home improvement stores cost around 15. Nonetheless granite experts recommend waiting a full 48 hours before wiping a newly sealed granite countertop with anything wet.
