Micro-Polishing
Natural stone floors such as marble and terrazzo require a three step diamond sanding procedure that micro-polishes the tiles to a shine. The process does not require any harsh chemicals or floor finish that can smell or take time to dry. The micro-polishing procedure removes a thin layer from the top of the tile, leaving only the natural gloss of the stone.
A common mistake within the industry is to apply a wax on these natural stone tiles. The wax does not bond to the tile and over a short period of time will begin to look yellow. This happens because the tile is too porous and the wax layers on top don’t allow the stone to breath which causes the wax to turn yellow. However, in unique situations a proper sealer may be applied to these natural floors.
