Granite Dining Tables: Heat, Stains & Sealing Explained
Granite copes well with what a dining table goes through: hot plates, cutlery and years of daily use. Where it needs some care is with spills. Granite is a natural stone with tiny pores, so oils and dark liquids can soak in once the protective seal has worn thin.
Every Fairmont Reed stone top is sealed before it leaves our workshop, so as an owner your job is upkeep: wiping spills promptly, using a trivet for the hottest pans and resealing every so often.
This guide covers heat, stains and sealing on a granite dining table, how granite compares with quartzite, Dekton® and marble, and what to check before you buy.
