In the long run, Limestone will be worn and loose its shine. Scratches and spill damage build up and dull the original surface. Limestone Polishing is your only way to revive the polish. We use industrial diamond polishing machinery to bring back the initial surface.

It really is virtually unachievable to lay a Limestone tile floor perfectly flat. A Limestone floor is leveled by grinding off the lippage and irregular edges of the tiles. Grinding Limestone really should be undertaken by experts. The Limestone floor looks monolithic, appearing to be made from an individual area of Limestone.

After grinding, the Limestone be at the same level the grout. It is much simpler to mop a smooth Limestone than an uneven floor. A smooth surface floor does not have grout depessions to hold dirt. Chips and cracks can be filled with colour matched resin repair fillers. The restoration needed is going to be determined by the current condition of your Limestone floor.

We use a mixture of machine and hand scrubbing to remove all traces of existing soiled sealers and clean the tiles. When our professional cleaning is completed,finally, we apply a durable sealer that will make your floor better to look after.

Porcelain is a ceramic mix with sand and feldspar included to make a denser tile.

Porcelain is very moisture-resistant, therefore spillages can't seep into the tile and cause stains.

There are inferior porcelains that may absorb soil and spills similar to natural stone floors. The microscopic surface pits insure that it is difficult to remove this soil.

We are able to remove ingrained dirt using equipment designed to get into the microscopic pits where the soil is held.

There tend to be aspects of natural stone restoration when natural stone tile cleaning. Each kind of natural stone features its own characteristics and restoration challenges. All natural stone floors have problems with wear and surface damage. Foot traffic damage, spills and surface problems shows up on many stone and tile floors, damaging the polish, making the stone look flat and unattractive, consequently the need for stone restoration. Highly polished floors like terrazzo, Stone and granite show surface damage a lot faster once the shiny finish dulls from traffic scratching. Permeable tile and stone that is sealed with a film-forming surface sealer will ultimately sustain wear damage.

Most stone and tile floors have cement grout. Grimy grout is a very common problem to be fixed on natural stone and tile floors. Stone restoration typically requires some crack and hole repairs.

We get rid of acid etch marks and scratches by resurfacing.Natural stone has the advantage that a soiled, permeable surface can be removed, revealing an attractive new surface.
