When tiles start to look dull and worn, they will need the help of a stone floor restoration specialist. We are highly trained to get the most from your stone floor.

There is obviously a huge amount that happens prior to any installation or stone cleaning process. Natural stone is formed over millions of years. Some examples include granite, marble, slate, limestone and travertine. It is incredible when you stop to consider this fact. It is very easy to take this for granted. Often your stone floor’s perfect appearance is the main reason for this.
A more absorbent stone will be more susceptible to staining and marking. Absorption rating may be something that you need to look into when installing your stone tiles. It all depends on where you are laying them and for what use. However, there will be a host of information available to help you make the right choice.
To further support this process, you will often come across a grading system. Grade one materials are the highest-quality and will be uniform. Grade two may have minor defects or imperfections. And then grade three may have more major flaws. These may be better suited to more rustic applications.
