Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration Ballingry

An initial finish on Limestone will slowly loose its finish. The dullness is caused by microscopic scratching on the surface of the Limestone where it's been walked over. Limestone Polishing is the only way to revive the original polish. We use diamond polishing equipment to revive the appearance.

Most Limestone surfaces are uneven because the tiles are not set level. A Limestone floor is smoothed by grinding away the lippage and irregular edges of the tiles. You must have dedicated equipment and several years of Limestone grinding and polishing to grind and hone a Limestone floor, but the final result is fantastic. The Limestone will have the appearance of becoming an individual slab of stone.

After grinding, the tiles will be at the same level the grout lines. It is much simpler to maintain a smooth, sleek floor than an uneven floor. A smooth surface Limestone floor won't have grout lines to hold soil. Limestone floor restoration commonly involves some crack and chip repairs, using resin fillers. Once we have inspected your floor, we can suggest he best Limestone restoration procedure.

Natural tone floor cleaning is rarely cleaning alone, there is commonly more restoration needed. Each kind of natural stone features its own advantages and restoration concerns. Stone and tile floors suffer from foot traffic wear and damage, because people wander on them. In most cases, dirt, spills and traffic scratches spoil the floor finish, hence the need to have stone restoration. Polished floors like Stone, Granite and Terrazzo reveal surface damage a lot faster because the lustre dulls from foot traffic marks. Foot traffic problems eventually affects porous stones such as Terracotta, Sandstone, Travertine and Limestone, which are most often protected with a surface sealer.

The vast majority of tile floors have cement grout lines. Grout is generally softer than stone and much more vulnerable to abrasion and chemical damage. Many stone floors also often need to have crack, chip or hole repair.

Etching and scratches are usually removed by grinding and honing. Natural stone can be ground to reveal a fresh stone surface.
