Granite Tiles Polishing Granite Polishing in Delhi NCR
Granite is harder than marble and behaves differently under the machine. It needs its own pad set and a different approach, otherwise the surface turns hazy instead of bright and the mica in the stone starts to look flat. Delhi NCR mixes very old housing stock with new high-rise towers, so a single visit can mean Kota stone in one room and Italian marble in the next. We carry pads for both and quote each surface on its own merit.

Rates depend on surface type, damage depth, area and access. The figure is written down before work begins.
Marble and granite need different treatment
| Marble | Granite | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | Softer, scratches more visibly | Harder, resists scratches |
| Acid | Etches immediately, never use | Dulls the surface, avoid |
| Finishing | Diamond pads up to 3000 grit | Its own pad set and compounds |
| Typical aftercare | Sealer every 12-24 months | Sealer on kitchen and stairs |
| Gloss achievable | Very high on hard whites | Deep lustre, not mirror |
We keep separate pad sets and compounds for each, because using marble products on granite (or the reverse) is the fastest way to end up with a hazy surface.
After-care guidance is handed over in writing: which cleaner to use, how to mop, and what to avoid during the first week. Most repeat problems trace back to cleaning products rather than the work itself.
Every job ends with a walkthrough. You see the gloss reading, the treated patches and the joints before the crew packs up, and the same crew owns any correction needed later.

Granite Tiles Polishing - common questions
Can dull granite really be brought back?
Yes if the dullness is surface wear. Buffing with the correct pads restores depth and reflectivity. Stone that has been damaged by acid or heavy abrasion may need grinding first, and we will tell you after seeing it.
Does granite need sealing?
Granite is less porous than marble but still benefits from sealing in kitchens and on staircases where water and oil sit. Sealed surfaces hold their look noticeably longer.
Can acid cleaners be used on granite?
No. Acid dulls the polished surface and can bleach the colour. Use pH-neutral cleaner and dry promptly.
How often should granite be polished?
Homes at 18-24 months, commercial floors at 8-12 months depending on traffic and cleaning method.
Can you polish a floor that mixes marble and granite?
Yes, and it is common in lobbies and staircases. Each surface is polished to a matching level of sheen rather than the same pad sequence, so the two read as one floor.
Is granite easier to maintain than marble?
It is less acid-sensitive and harder, so it stains and scratches less. It still dulls from repeated wrong cleaning, and it still needs sealing in wet or greasy areas.
Why does marble etch while granite does not?
Marble is calcium-based, so acid dissolves the surface and leaves a white mark. Granite is silicate-based and resists acid better, though strong acid still dulls its polish.
