marble grinding

Marble flooring is one of the most expensive types in the world.  It comes in different types, sizes, patterns, finishing touches, and colour options.  Grinding marble flooring needs to be done the right way to maintain its natural originality and to get the best out of it.  This is one flooring that needs to be ground well to give it stability and make it a much harder structure. 


Marble floor grinding in Sydney can be done using polishing compounds with the help of diamond abrasive disks.  It helps to eliminate scratches, cracks and deterioration of the marble flooring that happens over time.  It also restores its natural shine and polish, giving it an elegant and luxurious look and feel. 


Setting up such kind of flooring cannot be done all by yourself,  but it needs the services and guidance of professional contractors.  In case the marble flooring has developed deep cracks, chips, holes,  or damaged in any way,  call an expert to examine and provide solutions for it.


  • Clean the surface area of the marble thoroughly:

The very first step is to clean every inch of the Marble surface thoroughly. Any Residue dust, dirt, grime accumulated, or stuck to the surface can cause a lot of damage.  The cleaning should be done before you sand or grind it.  The cleaning process is an important aspect, and it needs to be done step by step with the help of cleaners that are formulated only for this purpose.  Avoid using cleaners that degrade or lower the quality or cause any other damage to the originality of the marble flooring in Sydney.  Choose cleaning solutions that do not soften or break up the surface as more marble will be lost in the process.


  • Eliminate slippage:

Lippage is the uneven levels of marble between two tiles creating a pronounced or definite dip.  It can cause one tile to be a few millimetres above the other, causing a difference between the two surfaces.  The second stage in the grinding of marble flooring lies in eliminating any lippage, to create evenness and uniformity with the rest of the flooring.  Once the flooring work is over, the floor surface will be even and flat throughout. 


  • Repair any cracks holes or chips:


Any cracks, holes, chips, or hairline faults in the marble floor can do more damage once the grinding process is completed.  Complete repair of every single crack should be completed before beginning with the sanding or grinding.  You can use marble dust for polishing compounds to cover up the cracks, holes, or any gap in the tiles of the marble flooring. 


  • Diamond polishing:

The final step in marble grinding is the Diamond polishing. Fine-grained grinding is done until a sleek and polished look is obtained.  It is done with the help of diamond abrasive discs that eliminates scratches that cannot be seen with the naked eye.  When this is done, the natural crystals on the marble will be able to reflect light giving it a polished finish.
