The Necessary Marble Surface Maintenance Practices
Marble is a natural stone formed from recrystallized carbonate minerals. The carbonate minerals are calcite grains, and that is why it is possible to polish a marble surface. Marble is a valuable and beautiful finish. There are two types of marble surfaces: natural marble and cultured marble. Marble is a porous stone and has a soft texture. Therefore, the stone becomes dull with time due to exposure to spills and dirt. In addition, marble floors develop scratches from friction caused by shoes and other abrasive materials. You can restore the luster by following these steps.
Polishing Marble Tiles
Polishing is the process of attaining a natural shine on the marble surface. You use abrasives, such as diamond grit, to refine the surface. Thereafter, you use powder abrasives in order to achieve an ultimate polish. You use the abrasive powder together with a floor machine. You work the powder into a slurry using water and a cloth until the floor attains the polish. Thereafter, you eliminate the excess slurry using a wet vacuum. The outcome is a polished marble surface.
Grinding Marble Tiles
Grinding is the process of restoring the original shine on the marble surface using diamond discs. In other words, grinding is a sanding process that removes large stone fragments using different grits of diamond. You can start with a coarse-grit diamond and then finish with a fine-grit to achieve a perfect finish. You can use the grinding procedure if the marble has deep stains or scratches. Furthermore, you can grind the floor is you want to obtain a fresh look.
Sealing Marble Tiles
Sealing makes the marble surface non-porous. It prolongs the life of the marble surface and improves its efficiency. The sealing process involves applying a sealant to the marble surface. Consequently, the sealant prevents liquid spills from penetrating the surface. Typically, liquid spills can damage marble when they penetrate the stone. Therefore, sealing prevents the absorption of water and other liquids into marble and granite. The sealant material requires re-application after one or two years for maximum effectiveness.
Crystallization Marble Tiles
Crystallization is the process of spraying a fluid onto the surface and then buffing it with steel wool under a buffing machine. You can use this process to polish the marble surface and maintain its shine for an extended period. However, this process can harden the stone due to the chemicals formed when the steel wool is heated during crystallization. Consequently, the hardened floor becomes vulnerable to wear and tear.
Maintenance of a Marble Surface
To protect the marble surface from staining, dulling, or scratching, perform regular maintenance. Restoring the entire surface is costly; therefore, you can perform regular maintenance to avoid unnecessary costs. The aforementioned processes can restore the stone’s luster for an extended period.
