Some of our clients get in touch to explain that they struggle to make their stone floors shine. They feel that they once started with a high-gloss finish that depletes over time. A high-shine stone floor creates a real statement for any home. Furthermore, it is a really popular stone finish. We have put together the following information to help guide you as to why stone floors may become dull and what you can do about it.
What causes that dull appearance? Sand, dirt and other particles cause microscopic scratches on the surface of the tiles. This degrades the shine on the tiles and can start to offer a dull and lifeless appearance. A dull stone floor simply has a large accumulation of surface scratches.
How Do I Make My Stone Floors Shine?
Restoring shine is a really rewarding process. A stone floor that has lost its shine is not always ruined. In fact, it is much more likely that it can be restored to a like-new condition. All stone floors need restorative care. This should not be seen as a negative thing. And in fact, will help to elongate the lifespan of your tiles. The maintenance process can even greatly extend the time stone floors go between restoration efforts.
Restoring stone floors is a specialty service that requires skill and experience. We have vast experience in deep cleaning and restoring all types of stone floors. This is an example of a marble floor that needed our help. When we completed the survey, it was clear that the surface of the tiles had microscopic scratches. However, it was clear that we could transform this beautiful, tiled floor for our clients.
The process strips back all the old coatings and then works to deep clean and polish the tile to its natural state. It is then ready to be protected with a high-quality stone sealer. If you would like to find out more about our stone polishing services, please get in touch by calling 0800 852 7177.
