Surfaces Granite guarantees countertops against improper fabrication and installation. We
will repair or replace without charge the countertop should a manufacturing defect occur
within one year from installation.
Warranty does not cover damage caused by chemicals, abuse, natural stone
characteristics, act of nature or relocation of countertop.
Natural stone's geological features are part of the stone's beauty. Granite can have natural pitting, fissures or dull spots. Lighting conditions where the countertop is installed can make these features either diminish or be enchanced. These natural stone characteristics are considered part of the beauty of the stone. Pitting is part of the crystalling structure where small spaces appear between mineral crystals. When the stone is polished tiny crystals loosen and cause pits. These areas do not worsen with use or over time. Fissures are hairline cracks on the surface caused by temperature changes during the stones formation. They do not permeate the slab and will not expand or grow over the life of the countertop. Granite is composed of a mix of quartz, feldspars and other minerals. When components in the granite do not accept the same polish in a same manner as the rest of the stone, dull spots result.
Caring for a granite countertop:
Surfaces Granite seals all natural stone countertops. Sealer retards the absorption time of
various liquids. Resealing should be done annually to protect natural stone's beauty.
Wipe all spills immediately using warm water and mild dishwashing detergent. Wipe
dry. Cleaners formulated for stone should be used.
Do NOT use acidic, abrasive or strong household cleaners; they will damage the surface
and sealer.
Use a cutting board to avoid marring your countertop with sharp knives.
