Marble Floor Honing

Remove Deep Scratches, Etch Marks & Unevenness with Professional
Marble Honing

With time, marble floors can develop deep scratches, etch marks, and dull patches. Not all of these can be fixed with marble floor polishing. This is where marble floor honing can come to your rescue. Our experts can provide professional honing services to restore the marble to its original condition.

What is Marble Honing?

Floor honing is a specialized floor restoration process that can smoothen the marble surface, remove imperfections, and even rejuvenate dull or damaged areas.

Signs Your Floor Needs Honing

Want to know when it makes sense to opt for floor honing? Check out the signs below.

Dull Uneven Appearance

Observe your marble floor; if it appears patchy or certain areas appear flat or lifeless without any depth, honing might be needed. Honing is also required when the floor appears worn down or eroded.

Deep Scratches

Foot traffic, heavy furniture movement, and the use of abrasive tools for cleaning can cause scratches. Such scratches are often below the polished layer, which means marble polishing alone won’t remove them. This is where honing can provide a fresh, flawless surface.

Etch Marks

When marble is exposed to any acidic substances like vinegar, wine, or juice, it can lead to etch marks. Over time, etch marks can appear as dull, cloudy patches. Polishing alone won’t remove them; hence, honing becomes necessary.

Uneven Surface

Marble tiles can become bumpy over time. This problem is known as lippage. This is when adjacent tiles have a slight height difference. Honing can grind down the high points, which makes the floor smoother.

Deep Stains

Deep stains are those that have penetrated deeper than the surface layer. Honing can remove such stains from marble without harming the stone.

Over-Polished Areas

Slippery or over-glossy marble floors can also be fixed with honing. It is necessary to hone such floors to make them slip-resistant.

Our Honing Process

We follow a damage-free, dust-controlled, and detailed process to hone your marble floor.

Step 1: Inspection & Diagnosis

First, we conduct a thorough on-site audit of the floor. During this audit, our experts take note of the:

Floor type
Surface damage
Tile unevenness
Polishing history

Based on all this information, we create a tailored restoration plan that enhances the appearance of your floor.

Step 2: Surface Preparation

Before we start with honing, we prepare the surface by:

Moving the furniture
Protecting adjoining surfaces
Cleaning the floor
Cleaning the floor

Our team ensures there is minimal disruption to your premises by prepping the surface in advance.

Step 3: Precision Honing

We only use industrial-grade machines with diamond abrasive pads for honing. The aim is to use machines that precisely remove:

Etch marks
Chemical damages
Scratches
Scuffs
Stains
Surface dullness
Uneven texture

Based on the condition of the floor, we customize the grit level, which enables us to easily cater to different marble types. With a dust-free process, it is completely safe for indoor spaces.

Step 4: Surface Smoothing & Level Correction

This is where we take care of lippage or uneven tile edges. Our experts use honing to level out the elevated points. The purpose is to rejuvenate the floor and make it seamless.
That’s why the process of honing is perfect for:

Entrance lobbies
Hotel corridors
Kitchens
Living areas

The aim is to eliminate tripping hazards. Additionally, the process can help you eliminate dirty tile edges as well.

Step 5: Follow-up Sealing (Optional)

Certain special areas, like the kitchen, bathroom, and commercial spaces, require a marble sealant after honing. Sealing helps:

Protect against stains
Enhance the longevity of the finish
Clean the surface easily

The result is you get a smooth and damage-free marble floor that is dust and grime-free, scratch-free, easy to walk on, and can last long.
