Are there particular products you recommend for sealing granite countertops? I am looking at a product from DryTech that claims to last 15 years, have you heard anything about sealers like this and what recommendations do you have in selecting a sealer?

Thank you.

Hello Kyle,

There are new products being developed everyday. There are also new marketing tactics as well so watch out! I would not believe anything about a product unless you read the warranty completely and that the product was produced by a well known company. If a company promotes that its sealer will last for 15 years, I would strongly doubt it. I did a quick search on Drytech and I see that it is a sealer-repellent but it does not specify that it is appropriate for granite. At this point, I really have not endorsed one product over another but I do like the antimicrobial technology that has recently been added to granite sealers. There are several very good brands out there. I hear that DuPont is coming out with one that is supposed to be incredible but I have not tested it.

Best wishes,
Tom Cordova
