RESTORATION
POLIROM has the ability to restore your floors/tops by diamond cutting, honing and polishing, followed by the application of an anti-slip surface sealer and the application of a finish of your choice. The purpose of this service is to restore floors and tops which have been in total dilapidation.
REACTIVE MAINTENANCE
To remedy unexpected stains or damage to natural stone floors and tops, we offer a 24/7 reactive service to all clients for last-minute one-off jobs when our expertise is needed.
PLANNED MAINTENANCE
Floors and tops of natural stone need to be continually cared for through planned maintenance programs. With this service, clients can avoid expensive future restoration work by keeping their tops and floors in a restored state quarterly, monthly, weekly or nightly, depending on their budget. As a result of regular polishing, scratches, stains, and etching can be removed and a protective anti-slip surface is maintained.
DIAMOND POLISHING
The high gloss finish of marble and other natural stone floors and tops can be achieved using medium to light grade diamond abrasives. Using this process, minor scratches and light stains are removed, while a high natural shine is delivered. By making the surface of the stone less porous and easier to clean, this finish provides strong natural protection.
In order to maintain a high gloss floor, diamond polishing will be necessary on a regular basis.
DIAMOND CUTTING
By using grade metal and resin bonded diamond abrasives in conjunction with heavy planetary head rotating machines, lippage, deep scratches and heavy stains can be removed from natural stone surfaces, resulting in a 'new' mat factory condition. It is from this stage that a natural stone surface can be polished, honed, or polished to a matte, honed, or high gloss finish.
DIAMOND HONING
To achieve a satin or honed finish, medium grade resin-bonded diamond abrasives are used with rotational head machines to remove scratches, staining and chemical etching from natural stone floors and tops.
STRIPPING & CHEMICAL CLEANING
In order to remove old topical sealers, waxes, surface soiling, and superficial staining from floors, chemical strippers and cleaning compounds are applied with planetary head rotation machines or by hand. Natural stone floors and tops are also sanitized by means of chemical cleaning.
GROUT CLEANING
To remove buildup of mold, dirt, grease, discoloration and remove old grout, chemical cleaners and colors enhancers along with specialized grout rotation tools are used.
ANTI-SLIP TREATMENT
To reduce the risk of slips, floors are polished to fit within safe standards using resin-bonded diamond abrasives. Certain anti-slip shampoos are then applied to further reduce this risk.
VITRIFICATION and CRYSTALISATION
Planetary head machines are used to apply chemical polishing compounds to polished natural stone floors and tops to add shine and harden topical seals.
SEALING
Topical and impregnating sealers are available in both solvent and water-based forms. These sealers are utilized for a variety of purposes, including the prevention of stain penetration, the protection against water, mineral deposits, and general soiling, and the enhancement of colour and appearance.
