Silicate Marble Polishing in Haflong
Silicate treatment is what gives marble a wet, deep gloss instead of a thin surface shine. The chemical reacts with the calcium in the stone and hardens the top layer, so the finish holds through mopping and footfall far longer than plain polishing. Work in Haflong is planned as a scheduled visit: the crew and machines travel together on a fixed date, and the rate is written down after the floor is seen in person or from clear photos.

Keeping the finish after the job is done
| Habit | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Dry dust mopping | Removes grit before it scratches the surface |
| pH-neutral cleaner only | Acid etches marble and bleach dulls the finish |
| Damp mop, never flooding | Standing water leaves marks and weakens joints |
| Mats at entries | Captures grit where it enters |
| Felt pads under furniture | Stops drag marks on polished surfaces |
- A light maintenance polish every 12-18 months keeps gloss without a full job
- Commercial floors are usually re-polished annually, homes every two years
- Sealer or nano coating, where applied, is refreshed on the schedule we hand over
Water and power are the two site requirements. We need one working socket within reach of a lead and a water point; everything else, including masking material and waste bags, comes with the crew.
Quotes are itemised per surface rather than as one lump sum, so a mixed floor of marble, tile and stone is priced line by line and you can approve, defer or drop any line.
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.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Does anti-skid treatment change how the tile looks?
No. It is transparent and does not alter colour or pattern. You feel slightly more grip underfoot, which is the point.
Is it better than a rubber mat?
A mat moves, traps water underneath and looks like a temporary fix. Surface treatment covers the whole floor area, including the parts a mat never reaches.
How long does it last?
Twelve to twenty-four months depending on cleaning products and traffic. Strong acid cleaners wear it out faster, so we tell you what to avoid.
Can it be applied on polished marble?
It can, but we usually recommend a satin finish with anti-skid treatment rather than a mirror gloss on wet-area stone, because gloss is inherently slippery when wet.
How often does the floor need a maintenance polish?
Every 12-18 months for homes and every 8-12 months for commercial floors. It is a much smaller job than the original restoration.
Which cleaner should we use?
A pH-neutral stone cleaner with clean water, dried after mopping. Avoid acid, bleach and abrasive powders, which are the main causes of dull and etched floors.
Can maintenance work be done room by room?
Yes. We schedule it in sections so the house stays usable, and it takes a fraction of the time of a full polish.
