Marble Refinishing 101: Understanding the Process
Marble floors and countertops are beautiful and timeless additions to any home or business. Unfortunately, even the strongest marble surface can develop scratches, dull spots, and other signs of wear and tear over time. Refinishing it can mitigate these problems.
If you want your marble surfaces to last for years, it's important to understand the process of marble refinishing. As a trusted natural stone care company, we’ll share our expertise with you. Check out our Marble Refinishing 101 guide below!
Step 1: Assessment and Preparation
Before we start refinishing, we'll inspect your marble surfaces and identify any problem areas that we need to address. We'll also protect adjacent areas and surfaces to make sure the work doesn't cause any damage to your walls, furniture, or other items.
Step 2: Grinding
The first step in the refinishing process is using specialized equipment to grind away the top layer of the marble. Grinding removes scratches or stains on the surface and exposes a fresh layer of marble. This step is critical for restoring the shine and smoothing out the texture of marble surfaces.
Step 3: Honing
Next, we'll use a honing tool to smooth out any imperfections and bring the marble surface to a uniform finish. Honing gives marble a satin-like sheen that is perfect for flooring and countertops.
Step 4: Polishing
After honing, we'll polish your marble surfaces. This step is essential for achieving a glossy, reflective finish on marble surfaces so you can enjoy them at their best.
Step 5: Sealing
The final step in the marble refinishing process is to apply a high-quality sealant to the marble surfaces. The sealer protects the marble from future stains, water damage, and scratches. It also enhances the natural beauty of marble by giving it a flawless shine.
