Known for its robustness and simplicity in upkeep, granite, although not the most expensive stone, is a popular choice for many.
Born from volcanic activity, granite is dense and less absorbent. Unlike its counterparts such as marble, travertine, and limestone, it resists spills or accidental drops better, needing less frequent sealing.
Granite is the preferred choice for commercial buildings and areas with high foot traffic, as its hard surface can withstand years of use before professional refinishing becomes necessary.
The ideal areas for installing granite in your home, office, or building include: Kitchen Countertops | Island Tops | Bar Tops | Bathroom Vanity Tops | Shower Walls and Floors | Vestibule Floors | Barbecue Counters | Lobby Floors and Walls | Staircases | Elevator Landings.
We frequently encounter issues related to the foundational or installation procedures of granite. Many customers call us for crack repairs on kitchen granite countertops, especially around the sink area. These cracks don’t occur because granite is soft, but due to poor installation planning.
Granite is heavy due to its density. It needs a solid base for even weight distribution. An unstable base can lead to stress points on the granite, often near the sink cutouts. The base should be reinforced around any cutouts or joint areas, and it should be free from wobbliness.
Luckily, epoxy crack repair can address this issue. Our technicians will clean the cracked section and fill it with an epoxy-based resin, blending it with the original stone color as closely as possible before re-polishing it to match the existing stone finish.
If your granite has lost its lustre or has scratches, a honing and re-polishing procedure can restore its original shine and smooth out the scratches.
Whether your granite is installed indoors or outdoors, at home, office, or business, we can carry out the refinishing process on any surface.
