Sealing Quartzite: use a solvent based sealer & water based sealed?

5 years ago

Hi!

I have natural quartzite kitchen counters in Leblon. Do we use a solvent based sealer then water based sealer on separate days with the water based used a day after the solvent based? I was told the different pieces of the stone require both. Thanks.

Can you tell me best sealer for my quartzite counters? I was told these are quartzite but it shows marks and now has some dull areas. I’m sick about this. I was told these a Calcutta super white quartzite. I would appreciate any advise.

That last picure looks like a mark made by the mesh on the back of a slab. Fabricator/shipper error. Always back to back and front to front. Never front to back as they did. Prolly get it out with a good tech.

That mark is right by my kitchen sink. It wasn’t there a year ago.
I can’t take good picture of dull spots or if it’s etching? Joseph is there a certain sealer i can order/buy you recommend?
I truly appreciate it.
