Author: Tool462hSubject: Crack in Granite Kitchen CountertopPosted: 25 Nov 2009 at 12:39am My wife had a crock pot on our counter top and the heat put a crack in it that runs about 7 inches in a Y shape. You can see it is raised a little bit but not bad. What do i need in order to fix this crack?

Granite : Cracks in Granite Countertop

Author: james1234Subject: Cracks in Granite CountertopPosted: 23 Nov 2009 at 12:15pmThank you so much for your comments; they were very helpful. Sadly, I feel like I am being pressured to accept the countertops; it is almost as if I am too much of a perfectionist. I trusted the company that did the work; they've been in business fifteen years. I am stunned really, as I didn't imagine this happening. Every granite countertop I've ever seen, in friends or families homes, seems perfect, smooth and lovely, as did the showroom kitchen countertops at the fabricators. Now I'm faced with the prospect of requesting the countertop be replaced, at the risk of damaging the new undermounted sink and the new cabinets. My husband is willing to let them try to improve the countetop somehow, disliking this whole situation as much as I do.Edited by findstone - 01 Dec 2009 at 4:13pm

Author: james1234Subject: Granite installed in KitchenPosted: 23 Nov 2009 at 12:06pmIf you can tell me the overall dimensions of the top of subject and the name of the stone used, then I may have some ablsolute answers intead of guesses. What I do know without any more information, is I've never heard of sealer afecting the appearence of any stone that drastically or for that length of time. That's not what sealer is sold to do.Edited by findstone - 01 Dec 2009 at 4:08pm

Granite : black galaxy dulled at seams

Author: thamshSubject: black galaxy dulled at seamsPosted: 18 Nov 2009 at 1:07pm I just recently installed black galaxy kitchen countertops. Don't think the installers did a good job. Found that the area around the seams(which was sandpapered) are dulled and had no luster(even seems to be whitish). When I use the Method Daily Granite cleaner to clean around that part, it seems the luster came back but will disappear within seconds when it dries. 3 questions: 1. Should I seal my black galaxy countertop? If yes, what sealer do you recommend? 2. How to get the luster back on the area around the seams? 3. What kind of daily cleaner should I use? Appreciate any response and help I can get.

Author: jimduncan69Subject: Desert Brown is hazyPosted: 18 Nov 2009 at 3:25am We had desert brown granite countertop installed about 3 months ago. when they installed them they looked like they where dirty. so we didn't think much about them at the time. after the installers left we went about cleaning them with soap and water. using what the installers told us. they came clean but never really shined like i have seen other granite counter tops do. so we called the company to come back out and take a look at them. which they kindly did. the tech said there isn't much he can do about the situation. so he put a wax/polish on it. it looked amazing after he did that. well one week later after one cleaning it is back to looking hazy again. so i call them back up. they tell me "there is nothing they can do about it and that is just the way desert brown granite is". so my question is, is desert brown granite normally hazy looking or is it normally glossy? also what route can i go when i am dealing with them? thank you for any and all help!
