Granite requires periodic sealing to prevent staining and etching from acidic substances. Its porous nature can absorb liquids if not cleaned promptly. Regular sealing is crucial for maintaining its appearance in Oregon's humid climate.
Common alternatives to natural granite are engineered quartz and solid surface materials. Quartz offers a highly durable, non-porous surface resistant to stains and heat. Solid surfaces provide a seamless look and are easily repaired.
