Stone Tile Cleaning & Restoration St Boswells

Steadily Limestone tiles will loose the initial finish. The dull appearance is caused by tiny marks on the surface of the tile where it is often walked on. The best way to bring back the initial finish is through polishing the tiles. We use industrial diamond polishing machinery to bring back the finish.

If your floor happens to be laid with jagged tiles, that is known as “lippage”. A Limestone tile floor should be leveled by grinding away the lippage and irregular tile edges. It is an involved process however the the finished results are beautiful. The Limestone floor looks "monolithic", appearing to be manufactured from an individual area of stone.

After grinding, the grout sits is level with the Limestone tiles. It is much easier to maintain a smooth floor than a bumpy floor. Also, soil doesn't get stuck within the grout lines. Hole cracks and chip repairs tend to be part of the Limestone restoration procedure. We will advise the correct restoration service.

Slate is a really popular floor and wall tile because of its low porosity and the numerous textures and varieties of Slate available. We have been mostly called to restore slate when it has layers of old sealer with ingrained dirt, so that the finish appears worn and dirty.

There are professional sealer removers and rotary scrubbing machines to get rid of the layers of old sealer. Then we put on hard wearing sealers.

If you prefer a smooth finish, we could grind the floor, but we have to gauge the slate before grinding.

The added minerals helps to make Porcelain much stronger than standard ceramic tiles.

There in many cases are aspects of natural stone restoration during natural stone cleaning. Restoring stone and tile floors in most cases involves a range of steps. Stone and tile floors suffer from traffic wear and damage, because individuals walk over them. The most typical challenge we run into during stone restoration is fatty soil scuffed to the surface forming a dull, dreadful surface. Highly polished floors like granite, Stone and terrazzo show wear much faster because the shine dulls from foot traffic scratching. Traffic problems gradually affects porous stones like Sandstone, Limestone, Travertine and Terracotta, which are most often coated with a surface sealer.

Most stone and tile flooring has cement grout. Soiled grout is a common problem to be reconciled on natural stone and tile floors. Cracks, chips and hole repairs are often a part of the restoration work.

Resurfacing takes out damage from etching and surface scratches.The beauty of natural stone is the fact that it may be re-surfaced, to reveal a new finish.
