Marble is a medium-hard natural mineral that has an unusually beautiful color. The color of the stone is influenced by the impurities that make up the mineral. They give the stone unusual colors: from dazzling white to black.
Since ancient times, marble has become widespread in interior decoration. And today this material does not lose its relevance in creating expensive chic interiors. Marble makes countertops for kitchens and bathrooms, window sills and railings. Marble mosaic can be used as floor and wall coverings.
Mineral is a fairly durable material. Like any stone, it tends to wear out. On the surface of products from this mineral, scratches and cracks appear over time, this is especially true for floor coverings. To eliminate these shortcomings, marble is polished.
Defects usually occur as a result of exposure to sand, which is brought into the room on the sole of the shoe. In addition, the appearance of the stone is affected by ultraviolet rays, after which the products begin to fade and lose their original color. In such cases, marble polishing will also be required. Moody stone negatively reacts to temperature changes and high humidity, which also has a destructive effect.
To breathe new life into products, to return marble surfaces to their original appearance will help professional special stone processing, which consists of two stages: grinding and polishing.
Studies prove that grinding work will cost five times cheaper than a complete
replacement of the floors and their subsequent re-facing with new stones.
Grinding marble, granite is performed using special equipment. Initially, the surface is treated with abrasive coarse-grained elements that allow you to get rid of cracks, make scratches invisible, smooth potholes and bumps. Marble is polished only in cases when there is a sufficiently strong wear of the coating. After the work is completed, the surface of the marble is leveled, but does not acquire shine.
In further operations with products, polishing is used.
Like marble polishing, polishing involves surface treatment with abrasive materials.
However, in this case, fine-grained abrasives are used, most often from diamond. Also, polishing includes special chemical surface treatment. After these measures, the resistance of the stone increases, marble returns to its lost form, it acquires a dazzling brilliance.
However, after the marble is polished and polished, regular professional care will be required in the future. Using special devices, polishing of marble coatings is carried out. Rotary machines with special abrasive elements will turn even the oldest worn surface into a new coating that will sparkle with bright colors again.
