A sealed countertop is not required for indoor use. For outdoor use, a sealed countertop is highly recommended. A sealed countertop will reduce the risk surface stains and damages. A protected stone will be easier to maintain as well.

NewAge Granite Countertops are easy to maintain! Using a clean damp cloth, wipe any spills as soon as possible and avoid using abrasive scrubbing tools. Please follow our care and maintenance guideline carefully found in the link : https://newageproducts.com/support-hub/

NewAge Granite Countertops are temperature resistant; this means that they are able to withstand the heat of pots and pans without damage. (It takes 80 to 90-degree difference within your granite countertops to cause enough thermal stress to cause it to crack. If you heat a piece of granite uniformly, it will take many hundreds of degrees before any problems arise. Please note granite tops will draw the heat from food dishes or a delivered pizza very quickly.)

Granite is a hard stone; using a kitchen knife on this surface is unlikely to result in scratches. While knives will not scratch the stone, cutting directly on the countertop is not recommended. Acidic substances found in many foods can potentially penetrate the stone and cause discoloration. Additionally, you run the risk of damaging and dulling your knives.

Granite is a natural stone that will fade if it is left out in direct sunlight over the course of several years. Fading in an interior setting is less common, as UV rays from indoor lights are much less corrosive than sunlight.
