  purposes they are grouped together.

•  There are subtle differences between black granites.
  They are not all the same.

•  Granite will scratch and chip when abused however
  it can be repaired.

•  Granite can stain however it is possible for it to be removed.

•  Not all granites need to be sealed.

•  If a granite needs to be sealed, do it since this will avoid
  most absorption problems.

•  Sealing correctly is not a five minute job. Take care
  and time and do it properly.

•  Granite sealed correctly will last for many years before
  "topping up".

•  Granite does not contain harmful radon gases.

•  Thin and long narrow lengths of granite will break easily.

•  If the granite surface is not correctly prepared (bottomed
  out) it may lose its polish.

  quality materials.
