Matte Finish For Granite Island

At NOVA Stone Care, we recently undertook a project to refresh a granite island by stripping off the old sealer, refinishing it to a matte finish, and then sealing it for long-lasting protection. Here’s a step-by-step look at how we achieved this transformation.

Step 1: Stripping the Old Sealer

The first step in the process was to remove the existing sealer from the granite surface. Over time, sealers can wear down, discolor, or become uneven, diminishing the stone’s natural beauty. We applied a specialized remover to the granite, allowing it to break down the old coating. Once the sealer sufficiently loosened, we gently scrubbed and wiped away the residue, revealing the bare stone underneath.

Step 2: Refinishing to a Matte Finish

With the granite surface now clean and free of the old sealer, we moved on to the refinishing process. Our goal was to transform the island’s glossy finish into a sleek matte look. Using a series of diamond polishing pads, we gradually smoothed and honed the surface, removing any imperfections and reducing the shine. This step required precision and care to ensure an even matte finish that still highlighted the natural character of the granite.

Step 3: Sealing the Surface

The final step was to protect the newly refinished granite with a high-quality sealer. We selected a penetrating sealer that preserves the matte finish and protects against stains, moisture, and wear. We carefully applied the sealer and allowed it to cure, ensuring the granite was fully protected and ready for use.

The Result

The granite island was completely transformed, with a modern matte finish that not only looks stunning but also offers enhanced durability. The new sealer will keep the surface protected, ensuring that the island remains a beautiful and functional centerpiece for years to come.
