THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STONE POLISHING

In order to maintain the beauty of your natural stone surfaces, stone polishing is crucial and very important. Your stone surfaces will become scratched, etched, dulled, and faded over time due to high-usage, weather conditions, spills, and other factors. By re-honing and polishing your stone surfaces, our stone care specialists are able to remove all types of blemishes, bringing vibrance and life back to your stone surfaces. There are multiple benefits of stone polishing, making it a worthwhile investment.

1. Increased value: When it comes to stone polishing, we are also increasing the value of your stone investments. By transforming a dull and lifeless stone surface to one that shines with colour and grace, the value of the stone itself has increased. This is good for those planning to sell their investments.
2. Increased durability and longevity: As with all other things, proper care and maintenance of your stone surfaces will lead to an increase in its longevity and durability. Stone polishing will help to keep your stone in pristine condition and last much longer.
3. Enhanced aesthetics: By re-honing and polishing stone surfaces, it becomes increasingly more appealing and attractive. Rejuvenating your stone will enhance its aesthetics, making it enchanting in any place it occupies.
4. Easy to maintain: A polished stone surface is smoother and less porous, making them easier to maintain. They will be easy to seal and clean regularly, preventing the buildup of dirt and bacteria, which contributes to its longevity.

Here are some of our primary methods of stone polishing.

• Honing: Honing is the process of using very low grit diamond abrasive pads to remove any scratches, etch marks, stains and other blemishes on the surface. By re-honing the surface, we can bring the stone back to a matte finish.
• Polishing: Polishing is the process of using finer diamond abrasive pads to bring a great shine to the surface. The end result is a shiny and glossy stone surface.
• Powder / Compound Polishing: We use a variety of honing and polishing powders, as well as polishing gels and compounds to resurface your stone investments. With the use of water and these powders and compounds, we can achieve a beautiful finish on all types of stone surface, catering to your every need.
• Crystallisation: Crystallisation is the method of using special chemicals to create a crystalline layer on the surface of the stone. This provides a glossy result and is often used for marble and limestone.
