OUR PROCESSES - NATURAL STONE
Travertine, Granite, Marble, Limestone, Slate, Terrazzo
Marble, Terrazzo, Travertine, and ALL other Natural Stone:
-
First, we deep clean the floor with a heavy-duty natural stone cleaner.
-
Grout lines are restored by brushing each line by hand with a Natural Stone Angle Brush, pressure steam is used when necessary.
-
Sand all stains such as rust, urine, wine, blood, abrasive cleaners, minor scratches and imperfections.
-
Over saturation of Natural Stone will cause holes and cracks. Special attention is paid to carefully filling most obvious imperfections, using a special Epoxy stone filler.
-
As a courtesy missing grout lines will be filled in with original color either sanded or non-sanded.
-
Polishing can be done several ways; our technicians will use different methods to achieve the natural sheen and luster of any stone. Including diamond polish, steel wool pad, or a Natural hog hair pad. Special attention is then paid to the edges and corners.
-
A Honing method is used when clients prefer a flat matte look, this method is also used to remove minor to moderate scratches from natural stone.
-
The floor is then sealed with the level of protection or length of guarantee chosen by client.
-
Level 1 sealer is: BASIC
-
Level 2 sealer is: HEAVY DUTY
-
Level 3 sealer is: BULLET PROOF
-
Once sealer has dried the floor is then buffed with a new white pad, once again paying special attention to the edges and corners.
