This customer from village ofGreat Shelford south of Cambridge was unhappy with their Marble tiled floor which lost its lustre relatively quickly quickly after being laid. Fortunately, she was given our contact details from a neighbour who we completed a Marble re-polish for a couple years ago and the floor still looks amazing.After discussing the floor, I recommended we hone the Marble tiles with a set of burnishing pads which will bring back the polished appearance and then work in a crystallising powder to achieve a deep shine before applying a sealer to protect the stone going forward. This is the procedure we followed for her neighbour and she was happy to have the same.
Honing Marble Floor Tiles Firstly, I removed the existing sealer and dirt with a400-grit diamond burnishing pad which is applied with water to provide lubrication. Although this initially appears to make the floor look worse, this is only temporary and is the first step in restoring the appearance of the stone. Much to the amusement of a couple of Peacocks who appeared by the back door I rinsed the floor with water and removed the slurry from the floor with a wet vacuum.
Sealing Marble Kitchen Tiles The next day I returned and completed the polishing process by applying the fourth burnishing pad which is an extra fine3000 grit pad, you apply the pad dry with only a little amount of water sprayed onto the floor in process we call a spay burnish and this final pad really brings up the polish in the Marble. The next step was to applyTile Doctor Shine Powder to the Marble. This is a crystallising powder that is worked into the floor using aWhite Buffing Pad to provide a very high shine and tough durable finish.Once dry I ran over the floor with thewhite buffing pad to remove any excess sealer and bring up the sheen of the tiles even further. For aftercare cleaning I recommended the use ofTile Doctor Stone Soap which is designed for the cleaning of polished sealed floor and will help maintain the patina.
