Diamond Polishing on Marble and Natural Stone Floors

Diamond polishing is a natural process of polishing marble and other natural stone floors to replenish and restore the factory finish shine to the floor. This is achieved by passing diamond abrasives normally starting with a medium grit diamond over the floor. This will remove light scratching, superficial scratches and minor etching. 

If the floor is particularly bad, diamond grinding may be required to start the restoration process. However, where the floor condition affords diamond polishing can be used as a standalone treatment and is enough to remedy dull marble and natural stone floors, achieving a new sparkle to tired floors.

The results of this system are that the floor has a mirror like factory finish or a beautifully honed appearance. 

Benefits of Diamond Polished Floors:

1. Long Lasting: Because a diamond polished concrete floor is a process and not a topical product, the results are much longer lasting. The process is refinement (through diamond tooling of finer and finer grits) to produce a surface that is tight, yet breathable. 

2. Durable: The penetrating chemicals used with diamond polished concrete harden the surface creating a wear surface that is more durable than standard concrete alone. Many distribution centres and manufacturing plants prefer this flooring for its durability properties.

3. Cost Effective: Compared to VCT, Epoxy, and other floor coverings, polished concrete is a often budget option. The savings are realised in not only installation, but in maintenance and replacement as well.

4. Easy to Maintain: With water only, diamond polished concrete is easily maintained. Because of its smooth, refined surface, pushing mops or autoscrubbing with a squeegee is very easy and effective. There is a surface stain protectant added into the concrete during the process that protects it from harsh staining as well.
