Premium Stone Restoration

What causes stone damages?

Stone should be sealed immediately if it has just been installed or gone through the grinding, honing, and polishing process. Stone should additionally be sealed once every year to maintain its resistance to stains.

What is the Stone Restoration?

When your stone becomes damaged, the professionals at OC Marble Restoration can bring the life back to its surface. We use a number of techniques to return your stone to its natural beauty:

GRINDING

Grinding is a very aggressive approach to refinishing stone, with the goal to flatten the floor. It uses a metal-bonded and diamond grit floor buffer to remove deep scratches and lippage.

HONING

Although similar to grinding, the materials used are not as course when honing. Often projects will only use grinding or honing based on the depth of the scratches and lips your stone has.

POLISHING

In the polishing phase, a higher grit or combinations of grit compounds are used to bring out a shine in your stone after honing or grinding.

SEALING

Sealing must take place after grinding, honing, or polishing. In this step, a high-quality shielding sealant is applied to the surface of the stone to ensure proper protection.

How Long is the Restoration Process?

The length of your job depends on a number of variables, including the stone type, desired finish and depth of scratches. Typically, if you are looking to restore more than 300 square feet of any stone, you will be looking at more than one day of work.
