The first stages of a restoration project are always cleaning. The rest of the process will vary depending on the type of marble, the condition, and the setting, but this first stage is almost always the same. Cleaning worn marble is an exceptionally delicate task and our team of experts take great care, using professional quality products and equipment to thoroughly but gently clean the stone. Once the clean has been completed any repairs that are required will take place. These are longlasting and will be unnoticeable once the work is completed.
Once this first stage has taken place we come to grinding. Using a powerful piece of specialist equipment, our expert team grinds the surface to ensure all levels are equal. This removes any roughness or edges that have built up over time and smooths the floor to a flat level. This process also deals with any scratches and stains, including extremely deep issues. Next up, is honing. Honing is the part of the process that brings the shine to the marble. It also removes any final scratches or stains and uniforms the overall appearance to give it that beauty specific to marble. It takes place by smoothing the marble surface with industrial diamonds!
Again, using industrial diamonds, the polishing begins. These diamonds are smaller graded than the ones used for honing and will facilitate a semi-shining or shining effect. Finally buffing and crystallization takes place to create the mirror-like shine. It carefully utilizes a specialist chemical reaction that creates a microfilm over the top of the marble. This also adds protection to the surface helping to preserve color and brightness.
Depending on the condition of your marble surface you may not require all of these processes. For some floors polishing and buffing will be enough, whereas for others simply honing. Please feel welcome to get in touch with us for a clearer picture of what your stone requires to bring it back to its best!
