Here s our experience with purchasing installing living with leathered granite.
Leathered black granite.
It s durable beautiful works with different design styles.
They went on to say that the leathered is much more porous than the polished and it just wasn t wise to use it in a kitchen.
The first couple of days i thought i had made a mistake because of the hand prints and water marks.
Absolute black leather granite is a simple yet eye catching stone that has risen in popularity in recent years.
I am a regular cook and am very hard on my kitchen counters and appliances.
I have absolute black granite in the leathered finish.
This puts leathered granite in a whole different tier than polished granite.
This granite is black in color and will work well in any home application.
Anonymous my leathered black granite countertop on my island is a smudge magnet.
It showed fingerprints and spots from everything and we would constantly be wiping down the countertops.
I was keeping up with it by using an envirocloth.
The installer told me to use this product that would seal them and leave a slight sheen.
The high gloss the reflectivity of polished granite makes it all to easy to smudge stain and weather.
Leathered granite also called antiqued granite is a great counter top choice for kitchens.
The other day some jet dry finish rinse aid spilled on the countertop creating two large smudges.
This was working very well.
The smudges are a lighter grey than the rest of the island.
