Dholpur Floor Restoration

Below please find some before and after images of cleaning work done on Dholpur floors on a terrace. Usually, two grits numbering 60 and 100 are good enough to clean Dholpur. However, because of the green marble slabs in between the Dholpur slabs, we have run grit numbers 200 and 400 to give a honed finish to the green marble.

Once completely dry we have applied two coats of sealer, which was left to dry for 72 hours.
Thereafter a clean terrace was ready for us again!

Gloss - O - Meter for measuring shine on marble floors

Image
Some concerns our clients raise about the shine of diamond polished marble floors : - The floor should be shinning more - The shine is not even in all areas of the floor - How do we know the shine has improved from before polish to after polishing the floor ? To solve all of these concerns we use a gloss - o - meter, which gives an accurate reading of shine level of a floor. We measure the gloss with a gloss - o - meter before starting work and after we have completed a project. A shine level above 85 is good. The percentage of gloss achieved will depend on the composition of marble. This meter can be placed at different places across a polished marble floor to determine if shine is standard in all areas of a room. At Cleansweep we believe in providing our clients with the best quality marble polishing service . To achieve this we use the best technology with ample training to ensure clients are satisfied with our service. If you have any marble flooring that needs restoration

What is marble crystallisation and what are its benefits?

Image
The crystallization process consists of spraying a liquid crystalliser onto the polished marble floor and buffing it in with steel wool under a standard weighted single disc floor machine. The steel wool generates heat through abrasion and the chemical reacts with the marble, producing a new compound on the surface of the stone. The most common ingredients of crystallization chemicals are acid, magnesium fluorosilicate, and water. The surface of the stone is chemically altered when applying crystalliser and there is no way to reverse the process. The only way to remove a crystallized layer is through grinding the floor with diamond grits. Through the crystallisation process the resulting layer of calcium flurosilicate that is formed on the surface of the stone makes the stone harder, more glossier and more resistant to stains. This is the primary principle behind using a crystalliser. Crystallisers can only be used on polished marble surfaces, not honed marble. It is simple an

Super shine with diamond impregnated pads vs super shine with diamond pads

Image
A super shine is a marble maintenance process . If you have marble floors that have become dull, have scuff marks, minor scratches on the surface of the marble and lacks lustre, you can go for a ‘super shine’ process to restore shine . Under the ‘super shine’ process we have two options, one which uses diamond impregnated pads and one which uses diamond pads. The difference between the two lies in the fact that the super shine with diamond pads is a superior process as it gives a sharper shine and is better at removing scratches. A super shine will give a mirror finish shine. In both process, the skirting is not done. Cracks and joints are not repaired. For more details, please call us on ....... The first two images are of super shine with diamond impregnated pads and second two use diamond pads.
