Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration West Barns

The only way to bring back the original shine is through polishing the tiles. We use industrial diamond polishing to grind and polish a Limestone floor and rebuild the original finish.

If your floor happens to be put down leaving not level tiles, this really is described as “lippage”. A Limestone tile floor is smoothed by grinding off the lippage and uneven tile edges. This is an involved process however the the finished results are dazzling. The floor will look like a single slab of Limestone.

After grinding, the Limestone be at the same level the grout lines. Mopping a ground, honed and polished Limestone floor is a lot like cleaning a single piece of glass. There are no depressed grout lines to retain dirt. If your Limestone floor has cracks and chips, we can repair them using resin fillers, closely colour matched with the Limestone. We will recommend the appropriate restoration process.

Many Victorian and Edwardian hallways could have floors made from Geometric Encaustic tiles.

Victorian tiles are made from natural clay and have a normal non-shiny finish.

Due to how old they are, these floors have had plenty of wear and often have layers of different sealers.

Old polishes, waxes, paint spills and sealer deposits makes cleaning these types of floors tricky.

After cleaning, the initial colours in the tiles can look washed-out, therefore we use a colour intensifying sealer to restore the original depth of colour. A topical sealer or wax finish will give the floor with a high-sheen finish.

Natural tone tile cleaning is hardly ever just cleaning, there is certainly frequently more restoration required. natural stone floor restoration is generally a multi-step process. At the very least, all stone and tile suffer some form of basic damage. In many cases, soil, spills and foot traffic marks ruin the floor finish, consequently the necessity for stone restoration. Highly polished Stone and granite floors show up wear very easily, as small foot traffic scuff marks on the stone surface change the shine and trap soil. A surface sealer will not prevent permeable natural stone and tiles like Sandstone, Limestone and Terracotta gradually struggling with wear and spill damage.

Most stone and tile floors have cement grout. Cement grout is generally softer compared to natural stone stone and tile and much more at risk of abrasion and chemical wear and tear. Holes may be filled and cracks repaired as part of a restoration.

Acid etching and scratches are usually taken away by grinding and honing.The good thing about natural stone is the fact that it could be re-surfaced, to show a new fresh finish.
