Stone Floor Cleaning Scottish Borders

An original finish on a Limestone floor will progressively go dull. Scratches and stains pile up and dull the original surface. Limestone Polishing is the only way to restore the polish. We use diamond polishing equipment to restore the original luster.

If your floor happens to be laid with uneven tiles, this will be known as “lippage”. The only method to make a Limestone tile floor smooth is by grinding away the lippage and jagged edges of the tiles. Grinding Limestone floors should only be undertaken by experts. The Limestone will have a monolithic appearance as just one piece of stone.

After grinding, the tiles will be at the same level the grout lines. Mopping a ground and polished Limestone floor is like cleaning just one slab of glass. There are no grout channels to hold soil. Limestone floor restoration typically includes some crack and chip repairs, using Limestone resin fillers. Once we have inspected your Limestone floor, we can advice on the best restoration process.

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

Victorian tiles are made of natural clay and have a normal matt finish.

A lot of these floors have been sealed and then covered with carpet or lino.

Old waxes, polishes, paint spills and sealer remains tends to make cleaning many of these floors challenging.

After cleaning, the original colours of the floor can appear washed-out, therefore we use a colour intensifying impregnating sealer to replace the initial . The mat finish may be polished through the use of a wax or topical sealer.

Porcelain is classed as a ceramic, but created with different materials than standard glazed tiles.

The added minerals helps to make Porcelain tougher than traditional ceramic tiles.

Some inferior porcelain has surface pores which will absorb soil similar to natural stone floors. The microscopic surface pits make it difficult to remove this soil.

You need specialist machinery and cleaning solutions to get rid of this soil.

Our Porcelain sealers will help stop further soil problems.

In the event that porcelain is a solid colour, we are able to resurface the porcelain, exactly like granite or marble restoration.

Natural tone cleaning is seldom cleaning alone, there is certainly regularly more restoration required. natural stone floor restoration can be an involved process. All stone floors have problems with wear and surface damage. In many cases, dirt, spillages and foot traffic scratches ruin floor's finish, hence the necessity for stone restoration. Highly polished marble tiles and granite floors exhibit wear very easily, as little traffic scratches on the stone finish dull the shine and hold dirt. Traffic damage gradually has an effect on porous stones which include Limestone, Terracotta, Sandstone &, Travertine, which are usually coated with a surface sealer.

Grout is normally the most sensitive element of a tile installation. As it is a little bit concave, hence the grout captures more dirt than the tile itself. Holes could be filled and cracks repaired as an element of a restoration.

Acid etching and scratches can be taken away by resurfacing.Natural stone has the appeal that a dirty, permeable finish can be removed, exposing a beautiful new surface.
