Like most materials of natural origin, marble begins to lose its strength over time. original view: the surface tarnishes, small abrasions, scratches and other defects appear that adversely affect its aesthetic beauty.
Our company offers you a variety of marble processing services. various forms and squares. To procedures that help restore appearance natural stone, marble.

Grinding marble - necessary to remove a layer of old marble.
In the process of grinding, with the help of an abrasive, scratches and scuffs on the stone are removed; in the process of grinding, the surface is leveled.

Sanding the marble floor rotary machine with a planetary mechanism, the master controls the grinding process, for the best result.
You should not be afraid that after such processing the marble will become thinner, in fact, less than a millimeter is removed from the stone.
It is impossible to exclude polishing from the process of restoring old, worn marble. The process of crystallization and polishing without prior grinding will not help restore the original state of natural stone.

Previously, before polishing the marble, the room is prepared.
The walls are pasted over protective film Moved furniture is taken out of the room.

No dust during operation grinding machines equipped with a water supply unit for cooling the diamond segments. This new technology, it allows you to perform work better and many times faster, and the absence of dust only pleases our customers.

Marble is polished to a matte sheen, depending on the desired result, then the stone is polished, crystallized, or simply polished and processed protective equipment.

marble polishing

You can do without it, but marble without it will not get gloss, it will remain matte.
Excluding polishing, you can artificially age the marble, or simply treat the polished surface with protective agents from moisture penetration.
Matte marble flooring is just as attractive, and many of our customers request this effect.
Glossy surface. Here, pre-polishing is indispensable.

Attention! Marble is polished, only pre-polished.
It makes no sense to polish a surface with flaws in the form of scratches, bald spots, stains and other damage.
Polishing unpolished marble will only expose and highlight the places of the flaw, and the result of such processing has not yet impressed anyone.

How is marble polished?
Of course, a polishing machine equipped with a fine abrasive pad is used, mainly white and red pads are used.
As binder component polishing powder is used to fill the gloss, or it is not used at all, in the case of soft marbles.

In the process of polishing, the master, using a fine polishing abrasive, removes the traces of grinding, the stone eventually becomes evenly shiny and is ready for use after applying wax or impregnation to it.

This processing method is suitable office space, entrance groups, shopping centers.
The disadvantages of such processing are the fragility of the gloss and the obligatory observance of the conditions for maintaining the stone with special-purpose supporting agents.
In order to enhance the properties of marble, make its surface more resistant to external influences in the form of moisture, dirt, extend its service life in areas with high traffic, an additional service is needed.
It is the crystallization of marble floors and surfaces.

Crystallization of marble is the final stage of processing.

A radiant glossy floor in which you can see your own reflection, surely many people want just such an effect?
How to achieve it, only with the help of marble floor crystallization!
In the process of this work, a special crystallizer for marble is used.
In its composition, the crystallizer contains a mixture of organic acids, wax, fragrance, PVA.

The principle of its work is the following.
The polished and polished marble surface is thoroughly washed with detergent.
With the help of a polishing machine, the crystallizer is applied in parts pre-whipped into a creamy state.
By distributing the crystallizer over the floor surface, the master supplies water, preventing the surface from drying out.

There is a small nuance.
Crystallization of marble should be performed only by a master, or a person familiar with this technology.
The acids contained in the product will not only easily burn the surface of natural stone, but also spoil the surrounding objects.

Before crystallization, everything is carefully pasted over with a film, excluding powder from getting on furniture, baseboards, walls.
In the process, the master strictly controls the effectiveness of the crystallizer, adding it little by little for the best effect.
Reaching full brilliance, the remaining powder is washed off with a detergent, the stone is polished again and protective agents are applied, but this is at the request of the customer, since crystallized marble does not require additional protection.

What is the cost of the whole complex of works?

In fact, the price of polishing, polishing and crystallization of marble consists of the following indicators.

Constantly serviced marble, the cost will be cheaper. On such a stone, you will have to spend less time on grinding and repairing damage.

Old, worn marble, differences between the slabs?
Get ready to spend a lot of money on restoration. Our costs and time will also increase, a serious integrated approach will be required.
For reference, the grinding of old marble with differences in slabs in height begins with a very rough grinding segment, with its help the surface is leveled, deep scratches.

The price of complex processing of marble in our company starts at 700 rubles, depending on the complexity of the work, preparation of the premises, restoration of marble, it can increase to 1700 rubles per 1 sq.m.

For a more accurate assessment of the condition of the stone, drawing up an estimate and a commercial offer, we first send the master to the object.
Departure of our master is completely free and does not oblige you to anything in the future.

Since ancient times, people have used such gifts of nature as wood, sand and stone. Marble is no exception. With this beautiful stone our descendants decorated their premises, ennobled palaces and temples. Indeed, marble products differed significantly from the decoration of other types and admired with their beauty. But over time, stone products became dull and lost their attractiveness.

The marble surface needs proper care, and in order for the stone to always please with its original appearance, it is necessary to properly care for it: grind and polish it.

Why polish the stone?

To appreciate the unique pattern of the stone, as well as beautiful mirror overflows, it is necessary to polish and grind it. polishing marble – the process is quite laborious and is the final procedure after the installation of marble floors, stairs and countertops. Thanks to the surface treatment of the stone, it is possible to achieve saturation of the natural color of marble.

Many people think that if they have a marble countertop or floor at home, then there is no need to take care of the stone. This is an erroneous opinion, because marble belongs to sedimentary rocks. The composition of the stone includes minerals, calcite and dolomite. Therefore, it is fragile and has a "loose" structure. Naturally, over time, multiple damage will begin to appear on the surface. To return the natural material to its former beauty, it is necessary to polish it. Using special equipment for polishing marble, even the most unsightly and old surface can be saved.

Frequent damage

What can damage this durable material, like a stone? The reasons may be different. For example, if you have a marble floor in your hall or living room, then it can quickly deteriorate from frequent rearrangement of furniture, as well as from the fact that dirt and hard grains of sand get into the house from the street along with the soles of shoes. In addition, marble can also receive more severe damage: potholes and chips that appear as a result of solid heavy objects falling onto the floor.

Also, the stone itself may lose its luster over the years, become dull and ugly muddy stains may form on it.

In addition to mechanical damage, the marble surface is susceptible to various acids. That's why detergents containing acid should not be used for surface care. Also Negative influence marble is also affected by the ingress of various liquids: wine, fruit or berry juice, oils. She can literally burn top coat stone if the stain is not removed in time.

In addition, the wear of a marble surface can directly depend on the frequency and quality of cleaning.

Why polish marble?

To protect the marble surface from wear, there are special means. For example, marble, which is sold in the construction markets, has passed pre-processing resin. But, despite these measures, after several years of operation, the marble surface still needs to be polished and polished with high quality.

Often, especially when laying marble slabs on the floor, specialists use seamless laying. With this method, irregularities may form on the surface. In this case, polishing the stone is very important, because the marble floor must be solid and smooth.

Materials required for work

To complete the work you will need:

• pumice;
• sandpaper of different numbers;
• grinder or special polishing machine for marble;
• paraffin;
• crystallizer;
• glue (two-component);
• sand;
• stone care product with wax.

Special tools are often used to polish stone. abrasive wheels. With the help of diamond dies, you can polish marble at home.

Features of choosing a tool

To restore the shine of a flat, flat surface, you need to use milling cutters. Such an abrasive tool may have different shape: in the form of a brush, cup or fiber circle. You can work with it both manually and with the use of grinding equipment.

There is a special machine for polishing marble, but if you need to process a small surface, then it will be too expensive to purchase it for one time. In this case, it is better to buy an ordinary grinder, often called a "grinder", as well as special diamond discs.

If you do not know where to start and are afraid that you will not be able to perform high-quality marble polishing, first evaluate the depth of the defect and only then choose right tool. Before starting work, you should try it on small area marble, which is located in an inconspicuous remote place.

Grinding marble with your own hands

Preparatory work:

1. Before starting work, carefully inspect the surface. If you see minor defects, they must be eliminated before grinding. Minor damage can be filled with a special putty mixture: resin filling, a mixture of cement and lime or liquid glass.

1. If you find chips on the marble surface, then a piece of marble can be returned to its place. For such cases, a special adhesive based on synthetic resins is used. It needs to be matched in color so that it matches the shade of the marble.
2. Separate small cracks can be filled with special mastic, which also includes glue. When filling cracks, fasten the surface with special fasteners - pyrons or staples (choose from of stainless steel or copper).
3. Before polishing marble, you need to clean the room with a vacuum cleaner, and wash the floor surface with detergent or treat with an organic solvent. After processing, do not forget to wash the marble with a rag that absorbs moisture well.
4. Immediately before grinding, the marble surface must be treated with fine sandpaper. If the surface has differences, then they are smoothed out with a grinder.

Work on polishing the marble surface is conditionally divided into three stages:

1. Rough grinding.
2. Normal.
3. Fine-tuning.

To give marble monolithic look, it is necessary to remove very large layer natural material. Experts recommend cleaning upper part stone no more than three millimeters thick.

If you are going to sand the floor, then it is better to use grinder with copper or cast iron. If you plan to restore the shine of a small surface (countertop, window sill or vase), then you can take sandpaper. As auxiliary materials use fine sand or pumice.

Features of marble polishing

After polishing the marble surface, it should be well polished. First, the stone is cleaned of dust, and a special powder is applied to the surface. Then it must be carefully rubbed with a piece of skin until it shines, apply paraffin and wipe with a soft cloth.

If you plan to polish marble products with grinding machine, it must first be prepared: remove the faceplate, plastic case and rinse them. Then put clean and completely dry parts in place, fix the polishing wheel and pour a little powder on it - chromium oxide, aluminum, zinc or diamond dust (pre-moisten in water and rub with your fingers over the surface of the circle).

After the main work on the polishing wheel, you can stick homemade nozzle- soft flannel or felt (fabric thickness about 20 millimeters). There should be a layer of rubber between the metal and the fabric. Moisten the fabric a little before starting work.

To further protect the surface, you can apply a layer of special polymer coating. But first, clean the marble well, because the coating tends to flake off.

After polishing the marble, you need to check how well the work was done.

The action plan is:

1. Turn on the lights and go to the lamp.
2. On the reflection of the light, you will see the hair of a burning lamp.

This will mean that the marble is well polished.

How to care for a marble surface

1. To care for the stone, you need to use special detergents that do not contain acid. Before applying the solution, it is advisable to test it in an inconspicuous place. To clean marble from dust and stains, use a piece of suede.
2. To quickly clean marble, prepare a solution of gum arabic and apply it to the surface with a brush. When it is completely dry, remove it from the surface, along with it it will “pull” all the dirt.
3. If a marble floor adorns your hallway, carpet it to protect it from regular traffic.
4. If you see a stain on the stone, try to remove it immediately: blot with a cloth and wash this place with water. Be sure to dry, but don't rub the cloth too vigorously.
5. To remove stains from cosmetics, grease or oil, you need to use a special paste. If the stains are of biological origin, then use a mold control agent.
6. If white stains (calcium stains) appear on the marble surface, they should be removed with a concentrated acid-base solution. After processing, cloudy stains will appear on the marble. In this case, you should re-grind the marble, its price may be slightly lower than during the initial processing.
7. If you want to keep the shine of marble longer, then the surface must be periodically treated with protective agents: wax or silicone.
8. To protect the marble floor from coffee or tea, the surface should be treated with a water-repellent impregnation.

Grinding and polishing marble

Over time, the surface natural stone(marble, granite) ceases to please with the depth of the shade, and the presence of scratches and chips deprives the floors of their former gloss. To return the luxurious appearance of the marble surface, to fully reveal the beauty of the tonal transitions of the stone, only competent care is possible.

Marble grinding and marble polishing in the company " power clean» is carried out by qualified employees using professional grinding equipment. Marble products: window sills, countertops, stairs, floors after the procedure will restore shine, surface smoothness, in addition, get rid of scratches, microcracks. Grinding can also be restorative, in which the surface layer of the stone is removed, as well as its further polishing. The price for polishing marble depends on such factors as the size of the product, volume, complexity of the procedure.

Elimination of defects from the marble surface takes place in several stages. The result is a polished surface, a restored structure and the brilliance of a stone in which you can see your own reflection.

• Grinding of marble - performed after laying the stone slabs in order to achieve a perfect flat surface. After sanding, it is recommended to seal the seams so that the coating looks monolithic.
• Polishing - will remove the problem areas of the stone, using fine abrasive nozzles with polishes or polishing pastes. Since a marble slab is a porous and hygroscopic material, polishing will "clog the pores" of the stone and thus prevent the absorption of accidentally spilled liquids.
• Crystallization is the processing of marble, as a result of which products acquire a mirror shine. Crystallization increases the moisture resistance of the material, its resistance to abrasion, which simplifies the cleaning of marble in the future.

Grinding natural stone - technology

Marble and granite are "terrible" heels women's shoes, metal legs of furniture, falling of sharp and heavy objects, etc. These influencing factors will not damage the stone itself and its structure, but will harm the gloss. Its restoration is carried out by our masters with exact definition rock types, which means its features and characteristics. We apply:

• modern grinding machines;
• diamond discs varying degrees grit and abrasive wheels;
• rotary machines;
• mechanical tools;
• high quality polymer compositions during finishing work.

The restoration process is aimed not only at restoring the external data of a granite or marble surface, but also at protecting it. The compounds we use react with surface layer stone and harden. The result is a new, elegantly shiny and iridescent floor with a surface that is more resistant to stress.

Our craftsmen are trusted by the most challenging tasks for the restoration and care of natural stone. We guarantee high quality works.

Examples of our work

Before and after grinding

Marble surface polishing technology

Restoration of worn marble surfaces is carried out in several stages. At the initial stage, the wizard performs an assessment of the degree of damage. During the examination of the stone, they reveal:

• scuffs and aged "spots";
• cracks (the size and depth of the defect is estimated);
• chips (usually formed on the edges, but when falling on the surface of granite or marble, chips can also appear on a flat area);
• looseness of plates and other defects.

The assessment of the degree of damage allows you to choose correct method, tools and tools for recovery stone surface. After that, the master carries out the following mandatory restoration work in turn:

• grinding;
• crystallization;
• polishing.

The most time-consuming and responsible stage is grinding the marble surface. The procedure is performed using diamond discs. With their help, the master carefully, without damaging the structure of the stone, removes the upper worn and defective layer of the cladding. Layer thickness - up to 4 mm, but no more. The deeper the cracks, the thicker the layer.

Difficulties of grinding travertine

Travertine - porous and soft facing material. This complicates the work, requires special care and accuracy. Surface restoration is carried out in the same way as in the case of a marble floor. But these procedures should be carried out more often - up to 3 times a year.

In order for the floor decorated with travertine to serve longer and retain its external data, it is recommended to cover the stone with a special emulsion. It will create a stable and durable film on the surface that will protect the coating from damage.

Features of granite floor restoration

Granite - more hard rock, but which is also subject to wear and tear. In the process of its restoration, the master alternately performs grinding, then clindex and polishing. At the first stage of work, hard abrasives are used. Due to the high hardness of the material, it is more difficult to cause significant damage to it, therefore, cracks and defects with a depth of more than 2 mm appear less often on the granite surface. Features of the restoration of the granite floor surface

It is this thickness that is removed from the stone during grinding. Often there are situations where the damage is more significant. In this case, it makes more sense to complete replacement a fragment of the cladding, and only then proceed to work.

Our company can provide a wide range of materials, therefore, with the replacement of a damaged fragment with a new one with identical colors and decorative characteristics there will be no problems. We will ideally select the structure of granite, and after installation we will carry out clindex and polishing.

Stages of granite floor restoration:

• Inspection, identification and removal of slabs not subject to restoration.
• Filling - sealing large cracks and potholes special solution the same color as granite.
• Restoration of seams between plates.
• elimination major damage and leveling by grinding.
• Achieving smoothness by polishing.
• Return of brilliance by crystallization.
• Application of protective compounds.
