  • Why should I view my granite slabs?

    Granite is a product of nature and therefore, is not completely consistent. Each color is unique and may vary from bundle to bundle and to some degree, slab to slab. To ensure you are happy with the color selected, Global Granite MA recommends you view your selected material before installing granite countertops in Pembroke, MA.

  • What is the cost difference between granite, engineered stone, and solid surface?

    The cost difference is based on color selection, sink selection, size of the countertop, and specific details of the job.

Also, reach out if you're interested in granite countertops in Pembroke, MA for your property.

  • Why does granite have to be sealed and how often does granite need to be sealed?

    Since natural stone is porous, the sealant acts as a barrier between liquids/food and the stone. Global Granite will seal the countertops after installation, but recommends that the sealant be reapplied every 6-12 months to maintain the beauty of the stone. Reach out to us today to learn more about granite countertops in Pembroke, MA.

  • What maintenance is involved with honed countertops?

    Honed stone countertops are extremely porous and more susceptible to staining. Global Granite will apply two (2) coats of sealant on the countertops, but future maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowner. Global Granite recommends that honed countertops be sealed every 2-4 months. Make sure to give us a call if you have further questions about either granite or quartz countertops in Pembroke, MA.

  • What is quartz?

    Quartz is an engineered stone, made from a combination of natural crystals and resin. Known for their strength and style, quartz countertops are a popular choice among homeowners seeking lasting quality. Homeowners who choose quartz countertops in Pembroke, MA benefit from a nonporous surface that never needs the yearly sealing required by granite and other natural stones.

  • Why is quartz good for kitchen countertops?

    Quartz is a nonporous material, making it resilient against dirt, moisture, and germs. Also, because of its durable materials, quartz countertops in Pembroke, MA are resistant to scratches, dents, scuffs, and burns.
