QUESTION 61. What kinds of countertops should usually be sealed?
Correct Incorrect Natural stone like marble and some granite--Certain varieties of granite and most types of marble should be sealed to protect against staining. While the tile itself doesn't require regular resealing, it is beneficial to periodically reseal the grout for enhanced water resistance. To test the need for sealing, you can perform a simple water absorption test by pouring a small amount of water on the countertop and observing how quickly it is absorbed.
