Sir Grout is one of the fastest growing hard surface restoration companies around the globe.

One of the most common questions we get is: How often should I seal my stone?

How often you should seal your stone depends primarily on wear and tear and the quality of your sealer. The more you use the surface, the quicker the sealer will wear. Friction and cleaning fluids reduce sealant life. Also, your higher quality sealers will tend to last longer.

How Often Should I Seal My Stone Countertop
In the world of sealers you typically get what you pay for. In determining when to reseal, there is an easy way to check. We recommend doing this every three months to see how well your sealer is performing.

Simply take a liquid and pour it on the stone, wait a few minutes and see if it's still beading. If the seal is still strong, the water should be like a freshly waxed car. If it doesn't, it's time to reseal. If you feel comfortable resealing on your own, we recommend an impregnating sealer over a topical one.
