Liz’ Tips

HOMEFINDER WEEKLY Reference Guide Inc. Brockville/Leeds & Grenville 1.877.935.7503 www.homefinderweekly.com

February 28th to March 7th, 2014

Countertop decisions

Can't decide which countertop surface is best for you? Well, that is not surprising Liz’ Tips By: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind considering the numerous countertop surfaces available.

Maximum Impact with Minimal Investment Brockville, Ontario

The following information is to help you find a stylish surface that resists most stains, scratches and spills and fits your budget! Explore the differences between highly popular natural stone surfaces, and read helpful information to help you decide which of the many kitchen countertop surfaces is perfect for your project.

What is Corian?

Corian is man-made and created by combining minerals and acrylics. Corian offers more accessories such as integrated sinks and coved backsplashes, and come in a wide variety of colors; color and pattern options are extensive, and because you're not trying for the look of a natural material, you can experiment with vibrant hues such as turquoise or tomato red. Corian is nonporous, it's virtually maintenance free — no sealing or special cleaning required. Although it can be susceptible to scratches and burns, those are easy to sand out. Corian can also become damaged if exposed to heat. Corian slabs are only 30" wide, so if you have a wide island or peninsula, or an usual shape (i.e. boomerang pictured here), it can require a few more seams than the granite or quartz surfacing. The seams are inconspicuous but not invisible.

ers, which can affect a stone's color, impregnators penetrate without altering appearance.

What is the best way to clean marble and other stone countertops?

The old rule of thumb is never to use anything you wouldn't use on your hands. Never use powdered cleansers or abrasive pads to clean your stone. Even "soft scrub" type cleaners contain pumice, which is powdered volcanic stone, and might damage your marble vanity tops or floors. You should always use sealers and cleaning products designed for natural stone. Clean your stone with lukewarm water and dry with a cotton rag.

What is the best way to clean granite tops?

Granite has been used in the past in the commercial industry.

Some of the obvious applications have been panels on the outside of buildings, walls, and floors of "high-traffic" areas. Granite will withstand almost any element it comes up against including heat and cold. Granite itself is approximately 95-98% stain resistant although a silicone impregnator sealer can be used on all natural stone products. This will insure lasting life and beauty. Polished Granite should receive the same cleaning care as polished marCorian sinks are affected by something known as ’thermal shock’. ble, use lukewarm water and dry with a cotton rag. When needed, This means they can react adversely to temperature extremes. spray glass cleaner (i.e. windex) and paper towel dry. **Do not let While it’s outside of most everyday use cases of this material, it window cleaner sit on granite surface, clean right away.** wouldn’t be a good idea to fill your sink with ice and then pour in Can I cut or chip or discolour my granite countertop? boiling pasta.

Is it necessary to seal stone?

No, it is not necessary to seal stone, however many installers do it to all countertops because the sealer provides great benefit at little cost. In 99% of the cases if a you clean up after meals you will never have a stain. Mineral surfaces like granite are generally not porous, but some stones can absorb minor amounts of liquids, which rarely result in minor discoloring and staining. Although there are many good sealers on the market, taking simple precautions and performing regular cleaning can save trouble and cost. All marble and granite tops are sealed twice in our shop before they are installed. The impregnating substance penetrates the stone deep below the surface, making it quite impervious to alcohol, juices, soft drinks, cosmetics, cleaners, coffee, food and even oil. A good quality stone sealer typically lasts at least 7-10 years. First, use the water test to determine if your countertops need to be sealed. Then follow these easy instructions.

Like any solid surface, high impact blows can harm granite. Granite is harder than your knife blades and will dull them very quickly, if you use the countertop as a cutting surface. Always cut and chop on a wooden or plastic cutting board. - In only cases of sever abuse with a hammer or impact tool. A chip can be filled with a granite dust and epoxy mixture. - Unsealed, granite can absorb stains such as oil, which can ultimately cause dark spots or discoloration. Heat from pots and pans or burning liquids will not affect granite under normal circumstances. If you have a stain in your top contact your stone supplier, they can help you remove the stain by supplying you with a poultice that you can apply to the top to remove the stain.

Where can I make the best purchase?

Make informed decisions by doing your research. Read up on the product. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. It is always best to consult with a knowledgeable and reputable local company when purFirst, apply some water to your countertop. If it beads up, the chasing a product. Ask the dealer to recommend an accredited sealer is still good. But if the water soaks in, your counters are due installer in your area. Don’t accept a verbal guarantee; get your warranties and your guarantees in writing. for more sealer.

Ingredients Needed:

1) Dry Cloth

2) Water-based or impregnating sealers, unlike surface-type seal-
