This is a quartz counter top by perhaps Silestone or Cesearstone. This is the latest trend in modern and has a lot of benefits over granite. One of the benefits is you dont need to seal quartz like you have to do with granite every few months.

Actually, with granite you don't need to seal that often. You certainly can if you like. Our experience has been that sealing less often works out very well. Some of our clients have only sealed their granite once and have been more than happy. Often it just comes down to personal preference.
