Why is Granite Restoration Important?
Granite is renowned for its durability and resilience, as well as its aesthetically pleasing looks. It makes a good fit for any type of surface, ranging from kitchen countertops and splashbacks to flooring and fireplaces, adding a touch of luxury to any space it occupies. However, over time, even the most durable of stones can show signs of general wear and tear, due to high usage, weather conditions and many other factors. This is where granite restoration comes into place. There are many aspects of granite restoration, and our stone care experts are more than capable of rejuvenating and restoring your granite surfaces to their former elegance.
As mentioned previously, granite surfaces can become dull, incur general wear and tear, and can become stained, scratched, etched, and have other various issues. While granite is known for its sturdiness, it is not entirely invincible. These issues are common for all types of stone and can easily be resolved by professional granite restoration services. If you notice any of these issues on your granite surfaces, we highly recommend seeking out our professional services. Our service technicians will be able to restore your granite surfaces to their former glory.
The Granite Restoration Process
The Granite Restoration Process
- Cleaning: Granite cleaning is a key part of the granite restoration process. Cleaning must be done to remove any stains, dirt and grime, and other impurities on your granite surfaces. It is essential before sealing, and after surface restoration.
- Sealing: It is crucial to seal your granite surfaces. Sealing can help to prevent oil and water-based staining and will generally improve the condition of your granite surfaces. This results in better durability and increased longevity. If you are planning to seal yourself, we recommend consulting with stone care professionals before applying a sealer as some sealers have different affect on granite than others.
- Re-Honing: Re-Honing involves using very low grit diamond abrasives to grind back the stone. This is essential to remove any scratches, etch marks, stubborn stains, and general dullness, creating a nice, uniform honed finish.
- Polishing: Polishing involves the use of finer diamond abrasive pads to perform the final touches of your granite surface. These finer diamond pads will transform your granite surfaces into a beautiful and polished finish. At Stone Doctor, we use a special copper-resin diamond pads for granite and engineered quartz. These one-of-a-kind pads are of the highest quality and produce alluring results.
- Repairing: Repairing chips and cracks is a very important part in granite restoration. Our stone care specialists have the knowledge and experience to restore and repair such chips and cracks on your granite surfaces, bringing it back to pristine condition.
