The most common problem that can occur with marble tiles is that over a period of time they start yellowing and get discolored. This happens when incorrect seal has been applied to marble tile or the polish has degraded and yellowed.

• There a large holes or missing filler in marble tiles due to general wear and tear

• The grouting of marble tiles have discolored or missing in some areas which can happen due to inappropriate seals which can attract soils easily

• Cracked or chipped marble tiles. This can happen when the marble tiles have been laid on the concrete floor which was not dried enough. Another reason could be that incorrect adhesives were used for marble tiles laying; best adhesives have flexibility to allow for contraction and expansion

Ideally speaking, all the spills on the marble floor should be cleaned immediately to avoid staining the marble. Marble is extremely alkali in nature hence, can be easily vulnerable to acidic content such as coffee, tea and juices.

So, it is advisable to use soft cloth or tissue to absorb the spill immediately. Remember not to wipe the marble, doing so will only spread the liquid on the other parts of the floor.

The time taken totally depends upon the following conditions: extent of the scratch, dirt, lost shine of the marble flooring. Our initial step would be to thoroughly clean the marble floor including grouts, using non acidic cleaning substance. Further the specific stain will be removed and in the end the marble will receive good polish.

Marble Polishing is done through the following ways:

• Floor Scrubbing: Involves removing all the dirt and dust from each and every corner of the floor.

• Floor Grinding: Includes removing all the stains, scratches, ledges and roughness by leveling and flattening the floor. At this stage, the topmost surface of the floor is removed and the fresh surface is exposed that lies beneath the top layer.

• Floor Restoration: This step involves repairing the floor by filling in the grouts and cracks with customized filler paste. Our professionals take care of all the minor and major damages and in case there are any damages beyond repair, they will let you know in advance.

• Honing the Floor: Honing is mainly done for marble floor smoothing with industrial diamonds to bring up more shine and uniform appearance.

• Floor Polishing: Floor is then polished using a soft pad with a polish powder which is rubbed into the floor making the surface smooth and shiny. It also removes the whiteness caused by grinding.

Our process for floor polishing removes the top layer of the floor and strengthens what was once beneath the old surface to give you a completely new shiny floor

Floor scrubbing is done with a Single Disc Machine (a heavy industrial cleaning machine) using scrubbing pads which thoroughly cleans the floor by removing all the dirt. Floor scrubbing is the first stage in the floor polishing process and cleans the floor from every unreachable area.

Floor Grinding is a process that removes the deepest stains, marks, scratches, patches from the floor completely and is the ultimate solution to all kinds of floor related problems except breakage as the grout put in the gaps would show. This process does so by removing the top surface of the stone floor (marble, granite, terrazzo, travertine) using various types of grits on a Single Disc Machine and exposing the fresh surface that lies beneath.

Floor Grinding Process:

• It starts with pouring water into the white tub of Single disc machine used for floor grinding. Water is poured to lubricate the floor grinding pads which helps in a smooth floor grinding process.

• Now at the base of the grinding machine, the diamond floor grinding grit pads are stuck which remove the thin layers of stone from the floor and bring out the fresh surface lying beneath. These pads have numbers assigned which defines their ability to cut or remove layers of the floor. Lower the number, better the cutting ability; higher the number, better is the polishing ability.

• So, starting with the lowest numbered grit, the grinding machine begins to cut the layers of the floor removing all the hard stains and scratches and exposing a fresh layer that lies beneath.

After polishing the floor, buffing is done to enhance the gloss and shine of the floor. There are special pads used for buffing which gives you a fresher, flatter surface. It helps in reflecting light more evenly giving off a perfect shiny glow. Buffing is done for all stone floors and is most effective in case of wooden floors as it keeps the delicate texture and finish of the wood intact.

Crystallization or vitrification is a method in which a chemical is applied to stone floors like marble, granite, travertine to give a glossy and mirror-like finish and increasing the floor's durability. Crystallization is a process that creates an additional coating of small film on the floor surface to protect it from natural damage, its color and brightness of the floor.

Diamond polishing is a method followed during the polishing of marble floors and other natural stone floors like granite, travertine, terrazzo, etc. It is a natural process which eliminates all cracks, scratches, pits, holes from the floor surface and restores the floor back to it's factory finish shine.

The process for granite polishing is the same as marble polishing as both are a type of stone floor. But polishing granite can be harder as it requires special polishing pads and equipment; granite is a harder stone than marble and is more durable and retains its shine for a long time as compared to marble floors.

Wet granite polishing and dry granite polishing are the two ways to polish granite floors. Both wet and dry materials have their own pros and cons:

• Wet paste costs more than dry granite polishing powder.

• Dry granite polish powder is more versatile as it can be used dry or wet as required.

• While using wet polishing, it is important to wear water-resistant clothes and walls, furniture, cabinets should be covered with plastic sheets as wet granite polish creates a lot of spray when used with power tools.

• The wet polishing pads cost less than dry pads.

• Wet polishing cools the pads preventing them from becoming excessively hot and wearing out faster than they should.

• Adds right and the real spark: The professionals use the right techniques and tools to clean or polish the floor. Professional cleaning and polishing restores the floor and makes it look bright and new.

• Helps to prevent damage: Floors should be handled in a correct way as they are made up of different materials and ingredients. Polishing it yourself with the wrong equipment or chemicals can cause severe damage to the floor. Experts select the right chemicals and equipment depending upon the type of the floor.

• Increases the value: Professional Floor polishing helps to restore the brilliance of the property protects the investment and lengthens the lifespan of hard surfaces.

Diamond polishing is done by passing the finer grit diamonds over the floor starting with lower numbered grit pads and eventually using the higher numbered grit pads at the polishing stage.

Diamond Floor Polishing Process

• The process starts with running disc #50 and #100 which dries up the floor so that filling can be done inside cracks, pits and holes. After filling the cracks, the disc #200 and 400 are run thoroughly.

• The next step is smoothing of floor which is done by running disc #800, #1500, and 3000. At this stage the floor starts glowing and looks 100% fresh.

• After smoothing, polishing of floor is done using higher numbered diamond grit pads as the higher the diamond grit we finish with, the higher and deeper the polish that is achieved. The polish is massaged into the floor for 3-5 minutes and then floor is washed with lot of water and is wiped. After some time, buffing is done with white pad and the floor starts to acquire mirror like finish.

• At the final stage a high quality sealer is applied which protects the floor from breaking, cracks, stains, dust absorption, etc. After few hours the floor is washed with plain water and buffing is done to give the floor it's final and perfect finish.
