Granite Floor Polishing
What is granite floor?
Granite flooring is a hard, igneous rock composed primarily of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Known for its durability, resilience and variety of colors and patterns, granite is a popular choice for high-traffic areas and luxurious settings. It’s generally resistant to scratches and stains but requires proper sealing to prevent etching (damage from acidic substances).
What is granite floor polishing?
Granite floor polishing is the process of enhancing the natural beauty and shine of granite flooring. It involves smoothing the surface, removing scratches and blemishes and applying a protective sealant to enhance its luster and protect it from damage. Polishing goes beyond simple cleaning; it’s a restorative process that rejuvenates the stone.
What is process of polishing granite floors?
- Inspection and Assessment: A thorough inspection to determine the granite’s condition, identify damage (chips, cracks, stains), and choose the appropriate polishing method.
- Cleaning: A deep cleaning to remove dirt, grime, grease, and old sealants or waxes. Specialized cleaning solutions and equipment are often used.
- Grinding/Honing (if needed): Using progressively finer diamond abrasive pads to level the surface, remove deep scratches, and create a smooth, even texture. This is crucial for heavily damaged or uneven granite.
- Polishing: Using increasingly finer polishing pads to achieve the desired level of shine. This brings out the granite’s natural luster. Multiple stages with different grit levels are common.
