Comments (2)It sounds to me like you 've affected the sealant. Someone here will know....See MoreIs Kashmir White a granite? Stain resistant?
Comments (8)The resining is done when they mill and polish the granite, so it happens before the slabs are shipped to yards. Basically, they pour on the resin and then polish the surface of the slab. Almost all of the resin is removed; the only bit that remains is that trapped in the tiny pores of the stone. Resined stone does not look or feel different than unresined stone. This can make it hard to find by just looking at the pretty side of the slabs. What you want to do is look at the raw edge. If the stone has been resined, often you'll see a shiny amber coating there, or sometimes it'll look like dripped varnish. If you look on the edge of these resined BR slab, you can see the amber edge: Here on the andromeda white slabs we chose, you can see the evidence of resining as varnish-like drip marks under the numbers but above the blue part: Also a good granite yard worker should be able to show you slabs that have been resined....See MoreGranite counter tops
Comments (6)We have Kashmir White and River White--both are similar to the Cottage Cream depending on the slabs/lots. There can be a world of difference between them. The ones in our master bath look vastly different from the one in the laundry room. As far as staining goes, the granite needs to be sealed well. Spills should be cleaned up as they happen when at all possible. Any that sit and have penetrated the granite can be remedied with a poultice made of original blue Dawn dishwashing detergent and flour. We've been in our house 16 months and we're not the neatest people when cooking, we have kids so they are not the neatest when eating and I would not say we baby our granite or treat it any differently than we did our old laminate (other than the lesson learned from pie crusts-story below). I think just about everything has been spilled on the granite and the only problems we've had have been Crisco penetrating the granite (Note to self: Don't roll out 5 double pie crusts in row directly on the granite), and an incident with a Wal-Mart bag that was set down in a puddle of condensation from a glass and sat for a day or two. The water mixed with the blue dye from the logo penetrated the granite and left a blue circle about the diameter of a glass. We applied the poultice and it came right out. Hope this helps!...See MoreWHITE granite - why are they all so yellow???
Comments (33)Very Nice, Lisa!!!!! Yes, yours is definitely what I saw when I searched on Google images for Glacier White. To be fair, I should have noticed the yellow when I selected the granite, but it was not until the templates got cut that it jumped out at me. I did not have many options for template placement with the 2 slabs given my counters layouts, was kind of like putting together a puzzle. I am hoping the dark wood floors and aged bronze hardware I am adding will help to mute some of the yellow areas. Good luck with yours, it looks great!!!...See MoreAnglophilia
