Having granite or other natural stones, such as marble, limestone, travertine, or even slate, in your bathroom, is a becoming an increasingly more popular choice. However, there is something to keep in mind when choosing to use one of these gorgeous natural stones in your bathroom, and that is humidity! As if living in Houston was not humid enough, bathrooms in this humid climate, with their warm showers and baths, might as well be saunas. The issue this proposes is that natural stone is incredibly sensitive to moisture and humidity, especially when it is not properly cared for.
Whenever the heat from your hot water comes into contact with the materials in your bathroom, there can be a large impact. Even if you had all wood, instead of stone, this would still be the case. So what can you do to keep the moisture and humidity from destroying your investment and gorgeous bathroom?
Having your natural stone countertops, showers, sinks, and floors sealed on a regular basis is the only way to preserve the integrity of the stone and keep you natural stone features safe from this very thick moisture.

If you have, or are considering, natural stone features in your bathroom, take it seriously!
