granite polishingNatural Granite is a beautiful material which is in very popular demand at the moment. Durable and if looked after will last for a long time. Unfortunately most jobs we are called out to are the result of sloppy installation and poor finishing when laying the Granite.  All stone, especially Granite needs to be sealed with a high quality impregnator before a job is properly completed. Without proper finishing and sealing the result will be a floor which absorbs dirt and liquids and will be impossible to clean.  

Worse still customers are not given or advised on the correct cleaning materials to use on their newly laid Granite floors, and most will use cheap shop bought cleaners or waxes which will not clean deep into the pores of the Granite, causing a dirty appearance which will worsen over time and cause further damage to the Granite's surface. Unfortunately the only way to restore the granite to its original appearance is to grind down the surface of the Granite and re-polish, revealing a new Granite surface. 

In this example to the right, the Granite was stained, dulled and become dirty over a period of time. granite cleaning

So how was this achieved?

Firstly the surface of the Granite was ground with diamond abrasives upto a 400 grade. Stains were removed with stain removers and holes were re-filled with coloured epoxy resin mixed to match the colour and tone. Lastly the floors were sealed with a high quality sealer / impregnator. This sealer will last upto 8 years atleast. The sealer will ensure for easy maintenance and cleaning, and will prevent stains or dirt penetrating the Granite. It is also important to carry on cleaning the Granite with a high quality stone soap which will deepen the colour and help protect the surface, aswell as clean effectively.

It is also important that you seal with a high quality impregnator. Secondly is ensuring you clean with a proper and professional use Granite cleaner, especially designed for Granite.

SERVICES WE OFFER

Grinding

Grinding is the process by which the surface of the Granite is sanded by the use of diamond pads to remove the surface of the Granite. This process is usually recommended when the Granite has lips or deep down scratches. 

Honing

Honing is the process of smoothing the Granite with diamond pads). Honing is performed to remove light scratches but will not remove lippage. Gives an egg shell finish to the surface of the Granite..

Polishing

The high shine observed on Granite, as picture above is the result of finishing with fine diamond pads. Then finishing with powdered polishing chemicals. Leaves a deep down shine.
 

Crystallization

The crystallization process consists of spraying a liquid onto the Granite floor and buffing it in with steel wirewool pads.  Heat is generated through abrasion using a heavy polishing machine producing a surface shine on the Granite. This will protect the surface of the Granite and add a glossy non slip shine.
