Granite Shield VS Stonemark Granite by Home Depot

Video clip test demonstration featuring granite by Innovative Stone Stonemark granite with Permashield sold at Home Depot and half sealed with Granite Shield. The tape is uncut and unedited. The Stonemark granite started absorbing water and darkening within 2 minutes of water being poured on the granite. If water can do this within minutes you can imagine what Kool-Aid, coffee, red wine or oil could do. Also featured on this video black CaesarStone half sealed with Granite Shield.

Granite Shield has no plastic or silicone and it is a breathable, penetrating sealer and will not scratch or yellow.

Mercy Jantz says:

"I use to be a Regional Manager for Innovative Stone, LLC. Prior to my resignation in 2009, my territory spanned Philly, Pennsylvania to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina and contained 83 Home Depot stores and almost a dozen ICF (Innovative Certified Fabricators), Everlife and national program facilities. Innovative Stone, LLC. is the national provider of Permashield which is currently used to treat Stonemark, The Home Depot's branded natural stone product and also Everlife, Innovative's own national brand. Cosentino, DuPont and Artisan are also national competitors, marketing their claims of superiority of performance for their pre-treated granites backed by a 15 year warranty.

Throughout my career I have become intimately acquainted with most national pre-treated products and have come to my personal conclusion that Granite Shield offers a unique set of benefits to the end-user that other programs cannot provide. One of the benefits is that Granite Shield does not narrow a client's selection of stones to a pre-determined color pallet of just 30 to 50 stones in a polished granite category. Granite Shield allows for the highest level of protection on any color available in the industry and the performance is absolutely the strongest benefit beyond any question.

With Granite Shield, I was most impressed that spills do not need to be wiped up immediately, the product has less than a 1% failure rate and the "lifetime" coverage is not limited to a pre-determined service life that qualifies as lifetime. With Granite Shield "lifetime" refers to the actual service life of the stone surface. Also, there is no required maintenance, the product does not require re-application at any time and the use of ammonia glass cleaners and bleach based household cleansers all prove acceptable products for cleaning. These are just a few of the major differences I found with Granite Shield compared to even the best national products which, in my opinion, do not even begin to provide these benefits or performance longevity.

The comparison is so simple... anyone inclined to protect their investment with a pre-treated product need not do a thing but go to every manufacture's website and print a copy of that product's warranty, then compare the contents to the warranty provided with Granite Shield. The difference becomes blantantly evident from even the first line. The other national brands offer only a 15 year term of coverage defined by their own words as "limited".

I've always felt that warranties should NOT be marketing tools used to sell a product, but then offer no protection in the event that coverage is needed. A warranty should be a declaration providing a guarantee of product performance that can be expected by the customer and offering the coverage needed to deliver that performance in the event of an unexpected failure.

My research has led me to a personal conclusion that Granite Shield is the only national level product on the market providing that guarantee of performance while fully minimizing the end-user's responsibility to provide and maintain maximum performance and coverage. Granite Shield is revolutionzing the industry and are quickly becoming the "new standard" in treated surfaces.

The best way I have articulated this in the past is by stating, "Yesterday (these other) companies set the bar with a record breaking high jump by introducing their pre-treated programs, but today, Granite Shield has landed on the moon!"

Thank You

"My name is Karan Barber and I am the Granite Shield Distributor for the North Carolina area. This product is terrific. It truly is amazing! We have Shielded several types of stone and put them to the test. We put red wine, red Kool-Aid, iodine, brake fluid, oven cleaner, lemon juice etc. on the shielded stone, left it for 24 hours and it wiped right off with a wet paper towel. Water beads on honed stone."

Thanks,

Yes we can remove your current stains and clean up your countertop penetrating through your existing sealer leaving it smoother, shiner and maintenance free with a lifetime warranty. Your countertop will look better then the day it was installed.

@graniteshield No problem we can seal interlocking pavers and limestone. We can seal all hard surfaces including residential and commercial projects.

[graniteshield]

Your granite is most likely 3 cm and does not require plywood. If it's 2 cm laminated it should have plywood.

is granite bullet proof

[PeeeNoooY]

Now lets see you seal interlocking pavers and post the result. Or if you like, limestone?

Can i use this product on my vanity that has a pre seal on it already? The water marks are dreadful and the top feels "sticky" when cleaning it. I want a hard clear coat to cover the granite top...is this the product for me?

Guys I have a question. Just yesterday we had granite countertops installed. I looked around on some websites and they all say that the builders will put plywood or something UNDER the granite--our countertops have absolutely nothing under them. Is this bad?!
