natural stone polishing Natural stone is a beautiful material which is in very popular demand at the moment. Durable and if looked after will last for a long time. Unfortunately most jobs we are called out to are the result of sloppy installation and poor finishing when laying the stone. All stone, especially Natural stone needs to be sealed with a high quality impregnator before a job is properly completed. Without proper finishing and sealing the result will be a floor which absorbs dirt and liquids and will be impossible to clean.

Worse still customers are not given or advised on the correct cleaning materials to use on their newly laid natural stone floors, and most will use cheap shop bought cleaners or waxes which will not clean deep into the pores of the natural stone, causing a dirty appearance which will worsen over time and cause further damage to the stone's surface. Unfortunately the only way to restore the the stone to its original appearance is to grind down the surface of the stone and re-polish, revealing a new stone surface.

In this example to the right, the natural stone was stained, dulled and become dirty over a period of time. natural stone repair

So how did we restore it?

Firstly we removed the surface of the stone with diamond abrasives upto a 400 grade. Stains were removed with stain removers and holes were re-filled with coloured epoxy resin mixed to match the colour and tone. Lastly the floors were sealed with a high quality stone sealer / impregnator. This sealer will last upto 8 years atleast. The sealer will ensure for easy maintenance and cleaning, and will prevent stains or dirt penetrating the natural stone. It is also important to carry on cleaning the stone with a high quality stone soap which will deepen the colour and help protect the stone's surface, aswell as clean effectively.

How can you prevent your natural stone from becoming dirty, staining, dulling or having to go through an expensive restoration process?

Secondly is ensuring you clean with a proper and professional use stone cleaner, especially designed for natural stone.

SERVICES WE OFFER

Grinding

Grinding is the process by which the surface of the stone is sanded by the use of diamond pads to remove the surface of the stone. This process is usually recommended when the stone has lips or deep down scratches.

Honing

Honing is the process of smoothing the stone with diamond pads). Honing is performed to remove light scratches but will not remove lippage. Gives an egg shell finish to the surface of the stone..

Polishing

The high shine observed on stone, as picture above is the result of finishing with fine diamond pads. Then finishing with powdered polishing chemicals. Leaves a deep down shine.

Crystallization

The crystallization process consists of spraying a liquid onto the stone floor and buffing it in with steel wirewool pads. Heat is generated through abrasion using a heavy polishing machine producing a surface shine on the stone. This will protect the surface of the natural stone and add a glossy non slip shine.
