Hardwood Floor Buffing in Delhi NCR
If your wood floor looks pale in the middle of the room but fine at the edges, the finish has simply worn through in the traffic path. Re-coating that path alone leaves a visible patch, which is why we do the whole room. 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.

What each surface needs
| Marble | Character | What to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Statuario | White with bold grey veining | Etches fast, needs prompt spill control |
| Carrara | Soft white, subtle grey | Softer stone, dulls quickly in entries |
| Calacatta | Warm white with gold veins | Needs gentle pads to avoid vein bleeding |
| Perlatino and Botticino | Warm beige with fine veins | Yellowing if filled slabs are over-polished |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.

Tiles or marble: what each one needs
| Tiles (vitrified, ceramic) | Marble | |
|---|---|---|
| What dulls | Surface residue and micro-scratches | Worn polished layer, etching |
| Restoring it | Deep clean, surface refine | Grinding and diamond polishing |
| Staining | Grout lines first | Stone surface and joints |
| Slip risk | High on glossy tile when wet | High on mirror-polished stone |
| Best finish for wet areas | Clean plus anti-skid | Satin plus anti-skid |
In most homes both are present in the same flat, which is why we quote surface by surface instead of giving one blended rate.
Team composition is consistent: a supervisor plus two machine operators on standard jobs, with additional hands for staircases, multiple floors or tight access. The same supervisor stays with the job start to finish.
Dust and water control is planned before we start: masking on skirting and fittings, wet working instead of dry, and slurry vacuumed as the machine moves rather than left to dry in corners.
Timing is agreed before the crew arrives: arrival window, the room sequence and the handover time are confirmed in writing, so nobody is waiting around or guessing when the floor will be free.

Hardwood Floor Buffing Services - common questions
Why does Italian marble dull faster than Indian marble?
It is usually the cleaning, not the stone. White imported marbles are calcium-based, so acidic cleaners and lemon juice etch the surface and leave white patches within days. A pH-neutral cleaner and clean-water mopping solves most of it.
Will polishing change the pattern?
No. Diamond polishing removes the damaged top layer; it does not bleach or alter the veining. On filled slabs we work at lower speed specifically to avoid yellowing.
Can yellowed Italian marble be corrected?
Polish residue and hard-water film lift during diamond polishing. Yellowing inside a filled slab is internal and cannot be polished out, so we test a patch and tell you the realistic outcome first.
How often does it need polishing?
Homes every 18-24 months with neutral cleaning. Lobbies, showrooms and entries every 8-12 months, longer with a sealer or nano coating.
Is a sealer worth it?
Yes in working areas. It slows absorption of oil, tea and coloured liquids, which buys time to wipe a spill, and needs refreshing every 12-24 months.
Can tiles be polished like marble?
Tiles are refined and cleaned, not ground like stone. Polishing a vitrified tile past its factory finish wears the surface, so we clean and seal instead, or polish only where the tile type allows it.
Which is better for a bathroom floor?
Neither should be mirror-glossy when wet. Tile with anti-skid treatment, or honed stone with anti-skid, is the safer and more practical choice.
Do floors with both need separate visits?
No. One crew handles tiles, grout and stone in the same visit, which also avoids the joint line between two trades becoming anyone's excuse.
