Marble:
is a naturally occurring stone, composed mostly of calcium carbonate. It is extensively used as a building material, and in many other applications. The word "marble" is colloquially used to refer to many other stones that are capable of taking a high polish.
In these examples of our work various problems from scratching, lippage , dullness, ingrained dirt, and improper sealing have all been addressed leaving the various floors clean, sealed and in a general good state to withstand heavy traffic over time.
Maintenance tips:
Ensure your mop is clean and on larger areas change cleaning water and solution oftenDO NOT MOP ANY SURFACE WITH A DIRTY MOP - This will stain, dull and introduce grit to your surface which scratches and dulls over timeDaily mop with a very slightly moist mop and then dry offWeekly mop with neutral cleaner @ solution of two capfuls to five litres clean warm waterAvoid aggressive cleaners (acid or alkaline) use only ph neutral cleanersInstall mats where possible at entrance doors to remove stones, grit and dirt from shoesImmediately clean up any spillages to avoid stainingWhere possible avoid wearing stiletto type shoes on weaker marbles (for example some wall grade honed and filled hone and filled travertine incorrectly sold as flooring grade)Agree a maintenance programme with your professional floor restoration companyPeriodically your floor will need to be resealed and repolished etc. Depending on traffic levels and positioning this can be from six months to five yearsPeriodic waxing and buffing can help maintain the original look and durability of the floor, depending on the original treatment typebefore
