#marble crystallization

Keeping the marble floor at the maximum gloss needs the process of crystallization floor polishing. Experts of floor polishing use this method for maintaining high sheen on marble flooring. Because it completely relies on chemicals, machines and techniques and homeowners cannot do this on their own. The commercial building needs more often marble floor polishing as basic maintenance than the floor of any residential property.

The process of crystallization:

Before the crystallization process, any scratches (minor and major) are removed through machine attached to the industrial diamond disk. During the crystallization process, magnesium acid is properly sprayed over the marble flooring. Further, a floor polishing machine scrubs the acid over the marble and then further applies a different steel wool pad. While the process is in progress, the shine of marble is enhanced with the help of the frictional heat emitted from the machine and steel wool pad.  

How does the crystallization process work?

During the marble crystallization process, the upper layer marble composition changes to calcium fluoride. This changed composition is somewhat harder than calcium carbonate. This chemical reaction after conducting the crystallization process results in a smooth, shiny and glossy surface. An expert said calcium carbonate classifications consist of marble, limestone, and travertine of natural flooring. Marble polishes better as it is completely solid. Almost every marble crystallization powder or chemical contains two basic ingredients that are acid, fluorosilicate compounds and at times acrylic polymer or waxes.

Crystallization can react only with marble and limestones having calcium-based stones. Although the method can work over non-calcium stones like granite but reactions are completely different. In a chemical reaction, acid attacks the stone’s calcium carbonate leaving up the etching mark over the surface of the stone.  

Advantages of marble crystallization:

Just like waxing, using the process of crystallization doesn’t make any add-ons over the marble floor. It even helps in slip resistance which is a very important thing to consider for the purpose of liability in public areas such as restaurant and hotels. This process makes microfilm over the surface of marble that aids in colour and brightness saving. Crystallization of marble helps in protecting and enhancing the life of marble flooring and durability of floor shine.

Warning:

For any sort of marble, cleaning needs always hire a professional and it is a must-have point that you need to keep in mind. The flooring manufacturer always recommends reputable companies who can take care of your floor needs more than you can even think. Crystallization polishing can be a problem with travertine marble which is not actually true marble. The travertine flooring has voided that manufacturers usually fills with any fillers like cement or polyester.

When and where to apply:

For starting with, there is no chemical or process for maintaining the shine of the polished marble for a long period of time. Crystallization is just the process of which have its limitations related to types of flooring. Obviously, using

process over the honed or non-reflective surface is not a wise decision. This process of floor polishing is only meant for polished surfaces. This crystallization process if the best way of maintaining terrazzo or marble floor that have high foot traffic. Some of the crystallizers today have wax as their composition. Over a period of time, it creates build up that can be removed using alkaline detergents and diamond abrasives before starting up the maintenance process. So, if you are going to get crystallization product then always look for composition that contains zero wax. All you need to do is the research the floor polishing market.

Over the time period, the floors of our house or any commercial property start to fade away its shine and look scuffed. Cracks and chips might develop in the marble or its edges. So, for restoring the shine of the floor it is very important to maintain it on regular basis. For assuring complete shine of the marble, many marble polishing service providers use mirror image marble polishing method. This particular step uses industrial diamonds, certain specialized equipment, chemical and scrubbing pads for gaining better and noticeable results. Industrial diamonds are sold in the market having a sequence where grit number is less and holds better ability of marble cutting and marble polishing. As the number of grits is increased, it directly increases the diamond polishing ability.

Diamond Polishing Service: A standalone treatment

Marble polishing is done in numerous process and segments as per the client’s demand and floor need. Few of the marble polishing techniques includes diamond polishing or crystallization floor polishing. Diamond polishing is a natural polishing method applicable over marble and any other natural stoned floor for replenishing and restoring the factory shine of the floor. The shine is achieved by passing on the diamond abrasives that normally starts from medium diamond grit over the floor. Manmachine solutions normally employ “diamond polishing service” as one of the section of stages of floor restoration that starts from diamond grinding. It is a standalone treatment for tired and dull marble flooring.

Steps of Marble Polishing:

•    Marble Grinding

This is the initial step in marble polishing process and this is done using metal bonded diamond grit. This grit coarsely grinds away the floor stone leaving the floor flat but with bit rough finish. Moving ahead to the next step and that is even repeating the same procedure using finer diamond grades. The finer grit will help you in removing scratches left over on the stone floor. Grinding level depends on different level including types and colour of marble, scratches number, stains depth and levelness of marble.

•    Honing

Higher grits of industrial diamonds are basically used for enhancing the original floor of the marble floor. Each grade of industrial diamond is progressively used that serves for removing the leftover scratches in stone by any preceding grade. Eventually, any scratches won’t be seen with naked eyes, permitting light to reflect of stone.

•    Polishing

This process is very important as it brings mirror-like shine through chemical reaction over the marble surface. Marble polishing even creates microfilm over marble surface that is more solid and highly durable. This helps in preserving the brightness and color of the marble.  Polishing is done using diamond polishing products or powder polishing compounds properly mixed with water. After the completion of the polishing process, the floor is washed off using plain water and is finally buffed.
