Frequently Asked Questions

WHY SHOULD I USE GRANITE SHIELD AND NOT A SEALER OFF THE SHELF?
With Granite Shield, your granite becomes maintenance free
and you receive a LIFETIME WARRANTY. You never have to seal
your stone countertop again. With all other sealers, you need
to seal your stone every six months to a year. Even then,
over-the-counter sealers will allow stains through, especially
acidic juices, alcohol, vinegar and oil. Flooring is under
warranty for 10 years, 5 years at 100%.

WILL GRANITE SHIELD INCREASE THE SHINE ON MY COUNTERTOP?
Yes! If your countertop is glossy, Granite Shield increases
the shine on your countertop considerably.

WILL GRANITE SHIELD MAKE MY MATTE FLOORING OR HONED COUNTERTOP SHINY?
No. When Granite Shield is used on matte or honed finishes,
the surface stays matte or honed. There is no shine added;
however, if your stone is shiny, it will increase the
shine considerably.

WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO SEE THE PITS AND FISSURES IN MY STONE?
Granite Shield noticeably decreases the natural pits and
fissures in stone, but will not fill them in.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO APPLY GRANITE SHIELD?
An average size kitchen countertop takes approximately
1 - 2 hours to apply by our authorized applicators.
Flooring will vary depending on the square footage.

DO I NEED TO LET MY STONE "CURE" AFTER GRANITE SHIELD HAS BEEN APPLIED?
No. Your stone will be ready for use as soon as
Granite Shield is applied.

MAY I APPLY GRANITE SHIELD MYSELF?
Because of our LIFETIME WARRANTY, only an authorized
applicator may apply Granite Shield.

WILL MY MARBLE & TRAVERTINE STILL BE ABLE TO ETCH?
There is no product on the market that can make marble
or travertine etch-proof; however, Granite Shield will reduce
the etching on your marble and travertine up to 80% and
Granite Shield has etch removal polishes which take about
5 minutes to remove an etch or re-polish. Acidic juices,
alcohol and vinegar can etch your marble and travertine if
it is left unattended on your stone surface.

WHAT IF I ALREADY HAVE STAINS AND/OR ETCHES IN MY STONE?
Granite Shield applicators will be able, for a fee, to remove
any stains or etches in your stone. In most areas we offer
full restoration services to our customers.

CAN GRANITE SHIELD BE APPLIED OUTDOORS?
Yes. Granite Shield can be applied to any surface outdoors.
UV rays limit warranty.

IS GRANITE SHIELD USED ONLY ON STONE PRODUCTS?
No. All hard surfaces can be protected with Granite Shield:
all stones, glass, stainless steel, wood, cement, brick,
fibreglass, porcelain, tile, grout and MUCH MORE!
