CARE & MAINTENANCE
In the end of your counter top installation, our installers seal the tops once for you. We highly recommend that you re-seal your natural surface for the durations listed below according to your specific surface type. Re-sealing your counter tops is a service that we can provide to you (fees vary depending on the amount of square footage) or you can easily do it yourself with our trusted brand: Stone Essentials.
