how to grout polished marble?

admin — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 22:03:37 +0000

I’m just curious how they grout polished marble tile, or if they do at all? unlike more common tile like ceramic or various other stone where you have a good gap between the tiles, alot of times with polished marble tile that i’ve seen there is so little space between the tiles that it almost looks "seemless". I was just wondering if they still put grout between them and if so, is the process the same?

There is a reason that it looks like so small a gap. This type of marble is made to go almost tight together with what appears to be no gap. If you look at a loose pc of marble, you ll see the edges have a very slight bevel on them. This is where the grout holds onto.Most installers leave a small "hair" gap to allow minor size differences.But other wise the un sanded grout goes into the small bevel.
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL

wet and slick, slick is what you will get, if you polish it,
use a good grade of sealer then polish it, with a cloth buffer, followed by a good floor wax, don,t polish that,

what is grinding and polishing marble with natural stone?

Dear All, i would like to know how they will grind and polish with natural stone, the details (4 face grinding and polishing).
i think it is wet grinding. Thanks

You can polish anything, using anything which is harder. Marble is a relatively soft stone, and if you used another type of rock to polish it, it could work but would take a long time. We use to use a quarts based stone, but these polishing stones are quite thick, needed lofts of water and left a really big mess. Sandpaper is a small amount of quartz sorta glued on a piece of paper or canvas. Not very practical when polishing large amounts of marble like an entrance floor, but would work on smaller pieces ot statues. Today we use industrial grade diamonds. That plastic, Number 1 was taking about is just that. These diamonds are embedded in a resin, melted together to form a diamond pad. These diamond pads which comes in different grits can bring the highest amount of shine in a marble when used properly. The last step is a powder, which is usually based of Oxalic acid, potassium, and other "fun stuff", and this brings out the final mirror finish.

Seal and Polish Granite and marble?

admin — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:42:03 +0000

I am not sure, but I think I should polish my newly installed granite countertop, then seal it. Is this correct?

So after I seal it, can I still polish it like 6 months or 1 year later?

Yes, and when you mean polish I suppose you mean that light dirty film left over after installation.

The supplier you purchased the granite from should recommend a cleaner/sealer to keep the stone maintained properly. A good cleaner will have protection properties which replenish the protection every time you use it. This ensures many years of non staining. A good product is Revitalizer by Stonetech.

The stone does need an intense sealer/impregnator initially and should have been done by the installer or fabricator. You can do it yourself if you follow the instructions carefully.

how can I polish a black marble table that has become dull?

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 03:29:07 +0000

It has water ring marks and fine surface scratches. Im a diy person and am looking for product names or technics

Toothpaste will remove the water rings….buff with soft cloth, rinse.

Jeweler’s rouge and an orbital buffer to fine tune resurface – like compounding and waxing your car.

bet it’ll be beautiful.

Marble floor – polish, or grind and polish?

admin — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 21:47:00 +0000

My marble living room floor hasn’t been thoroughly cleaned for years, and there are stains which I think (I’m not sure) are actual stains, not natural veining. No cleaner I’ve tried gets them out, however.

My contractor says a simple polish will restore the floor, but other people say it needs a "grind and polish".

Is a "grind and polish" really better, and how much dust does it throw up, normally?

Polish for stains if is sealed at all, grind is only for scratch’s that go deep in the stone. a bufffer may be required to strip the wax sealer off then seal and wax the floors

Appear to be spots that have been bumped and powderized.

just like any marble, its polished by high speed methods. if its a smooth surface, you can use car compound cleaner with a soft cotton cloth. they make from fine to rough compounds. you rub it out and put a tad of car polish on it and buff it out.

Does anyone know of an ancient city that was by the sea and the building were constructed of pink marble?

admin — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:41:13 +0000

The inside of the buildings, or at least one major building, was polished pink marble.
Big Mama, Thank you for trying. I appreciate that you took the effort to search but unfortunately, this isn;t the city or building I’m looking for. I’m looking for.
Sorry. I wrote the last sentence twice but can’t delete it.
Kept searching and discovered the building was pink limestone and the city was Alexandria.

Thanks, anyway.

I don’t know if it is by the sea, but there is a Baptistry in Parma, Italy that was built between 1196 and 1270. It was constructed of pink Verona marble by Benedetto Antelami. It is near the Parma River.
