Ideal Natural Stone Restoration techniques for Orlando FL residents





Over a period of time natural stone that are used on the floors or counter tops tend to attract dust and grime and loose luster. There is no doubt that natural stone can add style statement to your homes. Moreover natural stones are functional apart from being attractive and are the right solution for your floors and kitchen counter tops. But despite its luster there is no doubt that natural stones tend to loose its shine due to spills, foot traffic and pet movement. Though it is not a major concern as natural stones can be brought back to life with little care and maintenance. There are professional natural stone restoration services in Orlando FL that provide cost effective maintenance solutions. Remember to call only an expert as it is a special skill that is mastered only by very few technicians.

Abrasions and scratches can occur on the floor when furniture is being dragged across the floor or due to foot traffic. Another danger to natural stone flooring is spilling of acidic food items on the floor. The acid etches the surface that causes dull water spots that cannot be removed easily. Natural stones like marble are porous in nature and hence it absorbs stains quickly. The only means to get rid of abrasions, scratches, acid damage and tough stains is by opting for professional natural stone restoration services in Orlando FL. Use of professional processes and sophisticated techniques can definitely bring back the sheen on the stone surfaces.


There are many processes that are available in natural stone restoration in Orlando FL that include, grinding, honing, polishing and sealing. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. It is up to the service provider to choose the right method for best results. Grinding is used to remove deep scratches and lip page. Metal bonded and diamond grit floor buffer is used for this purpose. This process is dust free and helps to flatten the floor. The next restoration process is honing, it is a less aggressive method despite the use of similar materials as in grinding. 

Sometimes restoration services skip grinding process and move directly to honing when only mediocre scratches need to be removed. This also results in flat surface. The next stage is polishing, where higher grit combinations are used to give that shine to the stone surface. Finally, sealing is part of the refinishing process. It is here a good quality sealant is applied to the stone surface to ensure the stones are fixed firmly on to the floor.

This restoration process is an expensive proposition and hence cannot be done often but at the same time it is the only solution left to remove severe scratches, acid damages and other stains. Once this process is done your stone surface will look as good as new. After the restoration process is done only simple maintenance is needed to preserve the surface from further damage. Remember not to use harsh and toxic chemicals on the stone surface, only use neutral cleaning solutions and mop the floor regularly for lasting results.
