Granite countertops are a timeless choice for kitchens. Their natural beauty, durability, and ability to elevate any space make them a favorite among homeowners and designers alike. However, granite is not completely maintenance-free. Being a natural stone, it is porous and can absorb liquids, oils, and stains if left unprotected. This is where granite protection becomes essential.
At Flagstone Fix, we provide industry-leading stone care products designed to enhance, clean, shield, protect, and preserve all types of stone surfaces. With the right care routine and professional-grade protection, your granite countertops can stay stunning and functional for years to come.
Granite may look solid and impenetrable, but it contains microscopic pores that can absorb water, oil, food spills, and chemicals. Over time, this can lead to:
Dark stains from oils, spices, or coffee
Etching or dull patches
Bacterial buildup in damp areas
Loss of natural shine and color
Proper granite protection creates a barrier against these issues while preserving the stone’s natural texture and appearance.
Your kitchen is a high-activity zone, and granite faces daily exposure to potential damage, including:
Oil splashes and grease
Acidic foods like lemon, vinegar, and tomatoes
Water seepage around sinks
Grout and cement stains during installation
UV exposure in well-lit kitchens
Without adequate protection, these elements can slowly degrade the surface.
One of the most overlooked steps in granite care is protection before installation. Treating stone slabs early helps prevent deep staining and simplifies post-installation cleaning.
BACK PROTECTOR is a high-performance, solvent-based stain protection treatment designed specifically for pre-installation use on natural and artificial stones. It penetrates deep into the stone’s micropores, forming an invisible, breathable barrier that repels grout, cement, and dirt stains without altering the stone’s natural look.
Key Benefits:
Deep penetration for long-lasting granite protection
Invisible, breathable barrier that allows moisture to escape
UV-resistant formula for enhanced durability
Prevents grout and cement stains during installation
Makes post-installation cleanup faster and easier
For highly absorbent granite, multiple coats may be required. Since it is solvent-based, proper ventilation during application is recommended.
Once your granite countertop is installed, ongoing protection and visual enhancement help maintain its beauty.
CROMA-S is a solvent-based, stain-resistant, color-enhancing treatment ideal for absorbent stone surfaces like granite. Unlike surface coatings, it penetrates deeply without forming a film, ensuring even application and natural results.
Key Benefits:
Enhances the natural color and depth of granite
Provides long-lasting, UV-resistant stain protection
Does not yellow over time
No surface film—stone remains breathable and natural
CROMA-S is perfect for homeowners who want both granite protection and a richer, more vibrant countertop appearance.
Even with professional protection products, daily care plays an important role in maintaining granite.
Wipe spills immediately, especially oils and acids
Clean with a pH-neutral stone cleaner
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads
Use cutting boards and trivets for hot cookware
Dry the surface after cleaning to prevent water spots
These simple habits extend the life of your granite and protect the treatments applied.
The frequency of granite protection depends on usage and exposure. In busy kitchens, resealing or reapplying protective treatments every 12–24 months is recommended. High-traffic or heavily used countertops may need more frequent attention.
Products like BACK PROTECTOR and CROMA-S significantly reduce maintenance needs by offering long-term performance and durability.
