Storing Granite Outdoors

The most important issue you need to know about storing granite outdoors is that Ultraviolet rays from the sun breakdown polyester epoxy resin.
Basically, there are two places that polyester resin is used during granite fabrication. First, the overseas factory fills the face of the granite with this epoxy before polishing to fill all the small fissures and pinholes. If this is not done, the small deep pinholes and pockmarks will be very visible after the polishing is done. This is a common practice and an excellent practice for granite that will be used for kitchens or other indoor use because it adds protection to the granite, strengthens the granite, and provides that smooth surface as well. Here at Rock Solid Granite and Tile, Inc. we take pride in the fact that ALL of our granite is stored indoors, giving fabricators and customers only premium quality granite.
