HAS YOUR MARBLE LOST ITS LUSTER?

Marble and Limestone are the same stone. Marble has undeniably become more and more popular in the past few years. With that popularity there have been corresponding problems. Some relate to installation, while others are an inferior grade of stone and there remains the ever present failure to use the proper stone cleaning process and product.

 

Marble Restoration:

The characteristic voids in Marble were caused by gases present when the rock was in the molten state. These voids appear as holes in the tiles and are either filled during the fixing process or at the Factory. Orlando Travertine Restoration’s process may involve filling an entire floor or random tiles that have these voids. Unlike travertine where you are able to fill with either a form of grout aka TraverFill, with marble it is virtually almost always advisable to use epoxy resin filling. Our craftsmen also perform crack repairs, grout repairs, grout restoration for soiled grout all of which is done based on the level of restoration your particular surface requires and the finish you desire. Orlando Travertine Restoration uses the latest state-of-the-art equipment, diamond abrasives and other tools to restore your surfaces to like new again.

 

Marble Restoration Grinding:

Using the highest impact abrasives (lowest grits) this method is designed to remove a measurable amount of stone. Uneven tile edges (lippage) can be evened out using this method. Depending on the density of your stone and severity of lippage, our grinding process and state-of-the-art machinery is the most efficient available.

 

Marble Etching:

Travertine, Marble and Limestone are all subject to etching. Etches are damages that have occurred to the surface of the stone that create a dull spot.. Mostly caused by spills containing any type of acid: Citrus, wine, alcohol, vinegar, pet accidents all contain acids. Acid eats calcium carbonate found in these stones and the result is an etch. The natural chemical reaction is almost immediate and can vary in severity depending on acid level, how long it sits, and the size. Penetrating sealers guard against the acid from eating through layers of the stone, thereby keeping the etch on top so it can be honed out again during regular professional maintenance.

Acidic and/or abrasive cleaning agents and methods will also cause etching. Stick to soft cleaning cloths with a neutral stone cleaner. (Abrasives and techniques will vary according to grade, density, porosity and installation of the stone. Travertine, Marble and Limestone have different characteristics, use different approaches, and provide varying results due to being a naturally occurring product).
