Granite – Yes (Usually Once a Year)

Granite is a natural stone and does need to be sealed to protect it from stains and moisture.

  • Most granite comes pre-sealed, and resealing once a year (or every couple of years depending on usage) is usually enough.
  • It’s a quick and easy process — spray-on sealers make it a 10-minute job.

Quartz – No Sealing Needed

Quartz is an engineered surface, made of natural quartz crystals mixed with resin.

  • It’s non-porous and doesn’t require any sealing — ever.
  • Super low maintenance: just clean with mild soap and water, and you’re good to go.

Quartzite – Yes (But Less Often)

Quartzite is a natural stone, like granite, but denser and harder.

  • It typically needs to be sealed once every 1–2 years to prevent staining, especially with lighter colors.
  • Once sealed properly, quartzite is highly durable and resistant to scratching and heat.
