Exclusive Granite - FAQs
Soap and water! We will provide you with detailed instructions but the bottom line is just soap and water. Exclusive Granite seals all of the slabs before cutting even begins and this protects your stone from staining. You should re-seal after the first year and then every three to five years as needed. Oil spills can be problematic so, if you spill oil on your counters, clean it up as you go and do not allow it to sit on the stone for any length of time.

Q. What is the difference between Granite and Marble?

Stonemark
In broad geological terms, granite is an "igneous" rock formed by intense heat, which liquefies rock deep in the Earth and which solidifies upon cooling. Marble is a "metamorphic" rock resulting from the re-crystallization of limestone under intense pressure and high temperatures within the Earth. Stones falling within the same geological class share the behavioral characteristics, which determine the appropriate application.

How do we get a high gloss when buffing?

FOOTSIES PRESENTS STRATA
Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary. Be sure to wipe all grit and dust from the nail and the 3-way buffer, as even the smallest amount of dust will prevent a high gloss. Cuticle oil may be helpful. There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match.
