The frequency depends on multiple factors like how often you use the counter, what products the counter is exposed to and how often. Marble counters will need to be sealed more often (every 6-9 months) compared to other stone types due to their porosity.

Stone prices vary largely, and this is mostly to do with the location and size of the stone quarries.

In addition, it is always a good practice to store 1-2 boxes of spare tiles from the same lot in case there is any damage to the tiles in the future.
