Sensa Granite Worktops
Sensa Granite is a groundbreaking product in more ways than one. It is the first granite that we here at TFI felt comfortable in offering our visitors and secondly, Sensa, unlike other granites, comes with a 15 year manufacturers stain warranty that also covers external use within reason, i.e. subject to regular normal cleaning.
Manufactured by Cosentino, the Silestone producers, Sensa Granite is also suitable for outdoor use and, unlike quartz surfaces, Sensa Granite is UV resistant.

How does SenGuard™ work?
SenGuard™ is a protective agent on a small molecular level that penetrates the stone’s porous surface to form a chemical bond. This protective agent changes the surface tension of the stone, creating resistance to liquids and providing durable and long-lasting stain protection.
What is the difference between SenGuard™ and common granite sealers?
There are many sealers on the market that claim to safeguard granite surfaces. Common granite sealers contain large molecular weight agents. These agents create a mechanical bond that protects granite by blocking or sealing the porosity of the stone. However, these types of sealers maintain a weaker bond that is easy to break down through the use of common household cleaners; therefore, periodic re-application of the sealer is required to prolong the life of granite. Furthermore, large molecular weight agents do not allow the stone to breathe, thereby reducing the resilience of the sealer.
Unlike common sealers, SenGuard™ offers a superior protective shield that chemically anchors to the stone’s surface creating a permanent bond.
