Stone polishing with abrasives dates back to ancient Egyptian era times. The natural stone industry has been using the ancient Egyptian era stone polishing techniques and principles to naturally “polish” granite, marble and terrazzo for hundreds of years. Fairly recent advancements (last 20 years) in diamond abrasive technology and specialized equipment has resulted in the ability for specialized companies like Boylan Marble & Terrazzo Restoration Ltd. to provide on-site natural stone and terrazzo grinding, honing and polishing that until recently, was not possible.
The Boylan Restoration System involves:
- Detailed pre-job evaluation to qualify the floor.
- Demo/test area to determine equipment and material to use.
- the use of Specialized diamond abrasives and equipment.
- the use of experienced and certified natural stone restoration technicians.
- the use of water during the process to eliminate the creation of dust
- the use of a portable on-site water filtration and recycling system for disposal of the water.
- Detailed slip resistance readings and records of restoration area to ensure floor meets ADA recommendations for slip resistance.
- Training and education of In-house maintenance staff members on the care techniques and requirements of naturally polished stone/terrazzo
- A finished natural stone or terrazzo surface that is completely chemical free. No more waxing or applying a surface finish, no more stripping, no more indoor air pollution coming from your floors.
