Polished stone creates an instant statement. The below video was created in order to put together an overview of how to approach any stone polishing project. It places value to the importance of preparation, knowledge and understanding.

It starts of by explaining that varying stone types are in their very nature individual. This can pose a problem for an individual that doesn’t have the skill set required. Unfortunately the result can be an unsatisfactory finish or even damage to your stone tiles.

These secrets offer an insight into the fascinating process to create polished stone:

Secret 1: an enlightening element of our work is the fact that each job will provide different challenges. These all need to be addressed in the best way in order to make sure that the surface is not damaged.

Secret 2: old topical coatings need to be removed, without exception. Old coatings will have deteriorated and will not protect your stone floor in the required way. Therefore they must be striped back in order to proceed.

Secret 3: some tile types can be diamond ground with our specialist equipment if they are particularly scratched. However, there are some types of stone that cannot withstand this process!

Secret 4: the polishing process works through a grading process until the desired finish is achieved. An incredibly fine grit abrasive will provide a mirror-like shine!

Secret 5: is the requirement for stone sealing. This process cannot be skipped and will ultimately offer a defence against further staining or possible damage.

Secret 6: it is accepted that a polished stone floor will require more maintenance than a honed variation. Specific stone soaps are available to ensure that you can keep your floor looking at its best after restoration.
