How is marble polished

Marble is an average natural mineral, which has an unusually beautiful coloring. The color of the stone is affected by the impurities that make up the mineral. They give the stone unusual colors: from dazzling white to black.

Widely spread from ancient times to marble in the decoration of premises. And today this material does not lose its relevance when creating expensive chic interiors. Of marble, kitchen countertops and bathrooms are made, window sills and handrails. Mosaic marble can be used as floor and wall coverings.

Mineral is a fairly strong material. Like any stone, it is peculiar to wear out. On the surface of products from this mineral, scratches and cracks appear over time, especially when applied to floor coverings. To eliminate these shortcomings, marble is polished.

Defects usually arise from the impact of 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, grinding of marble is also required. Moody stone reacts negatively to temperature changes and high humidity, which also has its destructive effect.

To breathe new life into the products, to return the marble coatings the original look will help professional special stone processing, which consists of two stages: grinding and polishing. Studies prove that grinding works will cost five times cheaper than complete replacement of floors and their subsequent re-bracing with new stones.

Sanding marble, granite is performed with the use of special equipment. Initially, the surface is treated with abrasive coarse-grained elements, which allow you to get rid of cracks, make scratches invisible, smooth out potholes and irregularities. Sanding of marble is made only in cases when there is a sufficiently strong wear of the coating. After the work done, the surface of the marble is leveled, but does not get any shine.

In further operations with products polish is used.

As well as grinding of marble, polishing involves surface treatment with abrasive materials. However, in this case, fine-grained abrasives are used, most often from diamond. Also, polishing also includes chemical special surface treatment. After these measures, the resistance of the stone increases, the marble returns to its lost form, it acquires a dazzling brilliance.

However, after the marble is polished and polished, the surface will require regular professional care in the future. With the use of special devices, the marble coatings are re-polished. Rotary machines with special abrasive elements will turn even the oldest worn surface into a new coating, which will play again with bright colors.
