STONE POLISHINGSECRETS TO ACHIEVING THE MOST ATTRACTIVE POLISHED STONE TILES

Different types of stone have individual requirements that demands appreciation if any skilled operative is going to clean and restore them without damage

Every job is different and requires a tailored

approach to achieve the best results

All finishes and coatings need to be removed with specialised

products and machinery. A stripped back finish provides a better surface for re-finishing

If the floor tiles are particularly scratched

they will need to be Diamond Ground with

specialist equipment. It removes any remaining coatings, delamination

and other surface issues

This process further grinds the stone with diamond grinders and produces a

smooth and reflective finish

An impregnator or sealer should be identified based on the requirement

of any individual stone floor. The applications should be put on in

light even coats and left to dry in between each one

Specific stone soaps are available to purchase;

these work to clean the tiles and grout and to maintain their seal

between more in-depth deep cleans
