Ask the Marble Man What Specialised Restoration Procedures Your Stone Surface Needs

Natural stones may undergo several forms of damage and destruction. It may get stained, discolored, scratched or etched and hence should be treated professionally, employing appropriate techniques. In this article we shall learn about the specific techniques of stone repair and the purpose behind applying them.

Should natural stone be sealed?

In many cases, it is practical to seal your stone countertop in order to enhance its lifespan. If properly sealed, your stone will be protected from dirt and spills. But how will you come to know if the stone requires sealing? 

Here is a simple trick: put some water on the surface and let it stay for a few minutes. If dark spots are visible after the water is wiped away, it is evident that moisture is penetrating the surface and it requires sealing and protection. 

You may also have the delicate tiles sealed before installation as it prevents staining of tiles during installation. All types of stone surfaces; be it honed, flamed, polished or sandblasted, should be protected with appropriate sealers. Most stone surfaces require application of sealers after every two to three years.

Marble and other natural stone polishing

Polishing is a very important part of natural stone restoration process as it brings out the splendour of the natural stone. The polish and shine of a stone ensure its strength and durability. Marble, being a soft stone, is more susceptible to scratches and acid damage. 

The Marble Man handles marble floor restoration by applying specialised stone polishing techniques. To restore the original shine, they use a unique chemical to revive the calcium in the stone. With the special treatment, scratches and etch marks are also removed giving the stone bench tops and floors a perfectly polished finish. However, noticing severe damage, The Marble Man may recommend having your stone physically restored by the process of diamond grinding.

Cleaning the natural stone

One of the primary reasons behind the damage of natural stones is the application of incorrect cleaning and stone maintenance methods and inappropriate chemicals that may harm natural stone surfaces. 

Dirt, oil and sand get easily absorbed into natural stone and gradually dull the entire surface. It is highly recommended that you include dry dust mopping as part of your daily routine so that the stone surface remains clean and thus save the stone restoration and replacement cost in future.

How is Stone restoration done?

Restoration of natural stone including marble involves the removal of scratches or damages to the surface by means of mechanical abrasion. It is popularly known as diamond grinding.

Restoration process may differ from surface to surface. Normally, natural stones reflect light and do not need much coating to achieve the desired finish. After restoration, polishing is done to give the surface the desired look.

Stone resurfacing ­­­­­

Stone floors may become damaged after years of repeated use. If you want to rejuvenate your floor tiles, stone resurfacing can give you the desired result. In this process, an epoxy stone coat is applied over the damaged concrete surface or the stone surface.

Polishing

Stone surfaces like countertops and floors may start looking ugly after years of regular use. Polishing can give back their original, beautiful shine. A combination of abrasive powders and diamonds are used for polishing.

The advantages of stone polishing

• A liquid spill on a stone surface, that’s not sealed and effectively polished, gets absorbed into the stone layers causing stains and etch marks.  This will ultimately lead to costly repair and possible replacement later on. To avoid such situation, go for quality polishing which reinforces the protective seal, thereby forcing accidental spills to bead on the surface which you can easily clean up.  
• Providing ongoing protection against water spots and fingerprints reinforces the protective seal, Polishing doesn’t allow the formation of water spots and fingerprints on your costly stone surfaces.
• Another great benefit of polishing is that it prevents soap scum build-up on shower walls and tub surrounds.      
• The countertops and floor tiles become easier to clean after polishing.
