Marble Polishing Sydney

marble restoration Sydney

Marble is structural related to limestone, but has undergone metamorphic changes as a result of prolonged compression.  It can be cut and polished into a timeless and impressive surface that can be used for a variety of purposes.  Often marble is used for flooring, but can also be used for bench and tabletops, bathtub surrounds and mantle pieces.

Marble Weaknesses

Although marble can make a great showpiece, it has some weaknesses and if not treated properly it can be damaged. Marble is porous and can absorb water and oils.  This can result in dark staining that can be difficult to remove.  If marble is not finished with a protective coating, any liquid spills can be absorbed quickly.  The other problem with marble is that it is relatively soft when compared to things like granite.  It can be etched by acids such as fruit juices, vinegar and acidic cleaners.  This can result in dull areas in comparison to the surrounding shine, and requires polishing to correct.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Why does marble get stained or appear dull after contact with dark sodas or acidic liquids?

Marble can be stained from dark sodas for lots of reasons, including when it is unsealed and/or isn’t well-maintained, and it absorbs moisture and oils. It’s also susceptible to etching from acidic liquids, which can cause the finish to look cloudy and dull.

Can marble polishing occur anywhere in a home or office?

Yes, marble polishing can be performed on any marble surface within a home or office, including floors, countertops, stairs, and wall claddings. However, the area must be accessible and free from obstructions to ensure proper equipment use and achieve optimal results.

Is there anything I could do to preserve the polish on the marble and also protect it from more damage/stains?

Absolutely. If you choose to polish it, you can slap on a sealant that will give some protection against spills, oils, and water (not that you’d do any of those things in the laundry room). This way it saves the finish and there is no chance of getting any serious stains.

Do I even have to select a specialist in marble polishing?

Marble restoration is extremely delicate and has to be handled using the appropriate techniques and equipment to prevent the marble from damage. The stone should then be carefully polished by professionals, ensuring no damage to the composition or appearance of the stone.
