Do I Need To Seal Honed Black Granite

QUESTION:

I have honed black granite countertops. I got them because I didn't want the "shiny" look. Do I need to seal them?

ANSWER:

You almost never need to seal most polished black granites, but honed can be a different matter.

The best way to answer the question is to perform a simple water test to determine if your granite or any other stone needs sealing and also to tell when it needs re-sealing.

If the test shows it should be sealed, then I recommend using STONE SENTRY or SenGuard Sealers.
