What causes stone damages?
Stone should be sealed immediately if it has just been installed or gone through the grinding, honing, and polishing process. Stone should additionally be sealed once every year to maintain its resistance to stains.
What is the Stone Restoration?
GRINDING
Grinding is a very aggressive approach to refinishing stone, with the goal to flatten the floor. It uses a metal-bonded and diamond grit floor buffer to remove deep scratches and lippage.
HONING
Although similar to grinding, the materials used are not as course when honing. Often projects will only use grinding or honing based on the depth of the scratches and lips your stone has.
POLISHING
In the polishing phase, a higher grit or combinations of grit compounds are used to bring out a shine in your stone after honing or grinding.
SEALING
Sealing must take place after grinding, honing, or polishing. In this step, a high-quality shielding sealant is applied to the surface of the stone to ensure proper protection.
