Considerations for Using Buffalo Walling Stone

While Buffalo Walling Stone offers many benefits, there are a few important factors to consider:

• Cost: As a natural stone, Buffalo Walling Stone can be more expensive than some synthetic alternatives. However, its durability and timeless beauty provide excellent long-term value.
• Sealing: Like most granite, Buffalo Walling Stone requires periodic sealing to maintain its stain resistance. This can be done easily as a DIY project or professionally.
• Pattern Variation: Natural stone slabs display unique variations in pattern and colour. It’s a good idea to view the slabs in person before making your final selection to ensure they align with your aesthetic preferences.
• Professional Installation: Due to its weight and the precision required for cutting and fitting, professional installation is highly recommended for optimal results.

Care and Maintenance

Buffalo Granite is remarkably low-maintenance, ensuring lasting beauty with minimal effort. Here’s how to keep your surfaces looking their best:

• Everyday Cleaning: Wipe up spills promptly and use a mild dish soap with warm water for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals like bleach or ammonia.
• Drying: Dry surfaces with a soft cloth after cleaning to prevent water spots.
• Protection: Use coasters under glasses, especially those containing acidic liquids (citrus, wine). Place hot pans on trivets or heat pads.
• Sealing: Periodically reseal your granite following the sealant manufacturer’s instructions. A simple water drop test helps determine when it’s time to reseal.
• Addressing Stains: Create a paste of baking soda and water for stubborn stains. Apply for several minutes, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
