1Product Review
The New Venetian Gold Granite Countertop was the one I chose for my parents' kitchen when I was helping them with the renovation of their home a couple of months ago. They have mahogany cabinets and this countertop is the perfect match for them. The quality of the granite is also superb and we are absolutely happy with how the kitchen turned out.

Yes. Like most natural granite, New Venetian Gold is porous enough that spills can eventually stain if the surface isn’t sealed. To keep it protected:
- Apply a quality penetrating impregnating sealer at installation.
- Re-seal at least once per year.
- Check with the water bead test: if water soaks in rather than beads up, it’s time to reseal.
