Natural Stone Cleaning Leeds

We were asked to strip back this incredible marble floor in Huddersfield. The homeowners felt as though over time that the floor tiles had become dull and lacklustre.

They wanted their marble tiles to be restored to a high-gloss finish. There was a large expanse of tiles throughout the kitchen and living area as well as the downstairs WC and utility room.

Whilst deliberating about the stone finish that they wanted we discussed the benefits and possible drawbacks of polished tiles over a more honed (or matt finish) tile.

Matt Finish:

Benefits:

• A matt finish for a tile is often said to offer a more modern appearance to a space.
• The maintenance required for this tile finish is reduced in comparison to gloss tiles. Soap marks are unlikely to show.
• Matt tiles provide a natural appearance that can often be said to reflect a more individual and authentic look.

Drawbacks:

• A non-polished tile is likely more vulnerable to show scratches, scuffs and stains.
• Although deep cleaning is not as frequently required; if matt tiles do need cleaning it is understood to be more labour intensive.

High Gloss Tiles:

Benefits:

• A highly polished floor tile is better suited to smaller rooms as the reflective and smooth appearance makes the room appear larger.
• When cleaned, polished tiles reflect the light from the room so that it appears brighter.
• A highly reflective tile creates a wow factor for any space within a home or business.
• The stone polishing process offers a hardened tile that is more durable.

Drawbacks:

• If not cleaned regularly gloss tiles can show up wet spots, soap smears and other marks.
• Although routine cleaning of this tile type is relatively straight forward, glossy tiles need to be cleaned regularly and shined so that smear marks are removed.

With this information it is very clear that stone finish comes down to personal preference. The most important aspect is to keep on top of maintenance to ensure that your tiles are looking at their best.

Natural stone floors are incorporated into many businesses and homes. They are considered to be a superior flooring alternative and are held in high regard. This often pays testament to their unique character, versatility and durability.

We were invited to deep clean and fully polish this beautiful stone floor in Lincoln. The homeowners felt as though it had become dull over the years from daily usage and regular cleaning.

Our client was well-aware that incorrect usage of cleaning solutions that are not suited to specific stone types can easily cause damage.

Stone grinding requires an in-depth understanding. We use our experience and specialist techniques to produce the best possible results. We take into account the influencing factors such as age of the tile, depth of any scratches or damage, traffic, wear and colouration. The process needs to be tailored to make sure that the end result is exceptional.

We employ the use of our revolutionary stone polishing machinery. This effectively polishes stone tiles and prepares them to be fully sealed. The state-of-the-art machinery that we use produces a superior result in the fastest possible time.

It is sometimes not known that polishing stone leaves it much more hard-wearing and more durable in comparison to an untreated stone flooring. Once sealed, the polished floor works to repel corrosive factors such as dirt, oils, salts and liquids.

Our client was so pleased with the results and felt that we had been able to bring out the intrinsic beauty of her natural stone floor. She loved the look of her high-shine tiles and felt that it appropriately complimented the rest of her beautiful home.
