HOT Finishes for Granite Countertops!

[@julieyoung4227]

Love the leathered look and feel! I was lucky enough to see and touch this countertop and it has a wonderful texture!

Love the look of leathered granite countertops, especially in the kitchen. It adds a richness to the room.

FYI, I'm a fabricator/consultant and I like your videos and deco. If you want the honed or leather look, there will be an upcharge per square foot. Not every fabricator has the tools to remove the polish, most of the time they have to be sent off to another place to remove the polish and that usually takes 2 weeks or more to get it back. Sealers will not work because you have removed the polish but you can lift a stain from any natural stone. I am noticing that Quartz (man-made stone) are staining, just go to a bar that has a white Quartz countertop, the juices from the cherries and beer are staining small areas.

Just the last year after Baton Rouge flooded i noticed that a lot of ladies start ordering leathering finish it's nice but a lout of work using the brushes ,nice video.

So leathered looks best with shiny tiles?

[@kristerjagger3329]

Great video Kim. Can these finishes be added to an already installed counter top or does it have to be done pre-installation?

[@SmartInteriorsTopDesigner]

Yes, but it is extremely expensive. Thanks for watching!

Hi. I am interested in getting fantasy brown. I really like the shinny specs in that. Will the leathered finish take that shine away?

[@SmartInteriorsTopDesigner]

It will not take the shiny specks in the granite away. Thanks for watching!

[@nanabusterd]

Is the surface sealed to prevent staining after the honing process?

[@SmartInteriorsTopDesigner]

It depends on the type of granite. Some are harder then others. They may take a sealer since these finishes leave the stone more porous than a polished surface. Thanks for watching!

[@nnanette]

@@SmartInteriorsTopDesigner that’s odd, I spoke to a rep at the slab yard just today and they said the complete opposite, leathered granite is less porous

[@wandagetz966]

I hate the color of my granite countertops. They are green ( dark almost black) but I can’t find any videos of painting it.

[@selfiopath1982]

Isn't grainte a bit too radioactive for indoor usage?

[@brettrun8575]

Take off your aluminum foil hat.
