Silicate Marble Polishing in Kerala
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 Kerala 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.
- Polish condition check before coating
- Diamond polishing first, because coating cannot hide scratches
- Surface cleaned of residue and moisture
- Nano coating applied evenly in sections

What each surface needs
| Area | Why coat it | Expected life |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchens and dining | Oil, turmeric, tea and wine spills | 12-24 months |
| Washbasins and wet areas | Hard water film and watermark rings | 12-18 months |

Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.
How the job runs
- Inspection to confirm the floor is polish-ready (free)
- Diamond polishing to remove scratches and dullness
- Surface cleaned and dried completely
- Nano coating applied and buffed evenly
- Curing and handover with cleaning guidance

What improves, and what cannot be fixed
| Condition | Realistic outcome |
|---|---|
| Dull, even wear | Full gloss returns, looks new |
| Scratch lanes in walkways | Removed, surface level again |
| Light etching and hard water | Removed with polishing |

| Cracked or hollow slabs | Needs replacement, not polishing |
| Stains soaked through the slab | Lightened, not erased |
We show you this on a test patch before quoting the full job, so the result you see at handover is the result you were promised.
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.
Why clients book us
- pH-neutral cleaning advice so the coat is not stripped
- Visible result checked with you before handover
- Clear re-application schedule instead of vague promises
- 12 years of stone finishing with Akemi nano products

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Does it change the appearance?
No. It is transparent and leaves the original colour and veining untouched, unlike a lacquer or film coating.
Can it be applied without polishing first?
It can, but it is a waste of money. Coating over scratches and dull patches locks them in, so we polish first or decline the job.
How long does it last?
Typically 12-24 months depending on traffic and cleaning products. Two applications a year in commercial spaces is normal.
Does it stop the floor from being slippery?
It does not increase slip resistance. For bathrooms and staircases we recommend an anti-skid treatment alongside or instead.
Will nano coating make my marble stain-proof?
No, and nobody should promise that. It slows absorption so you have time to wipe a spill. Leaving lemon juice or oil on the surface for hours can still mark the stone.
Can the floor look exactly new again?
On sound stone with surface wear, yes. Where damage has gone deeper, such as acid burns or stains soaked through the slab, the result is a major improvement rather than perfection, and we tell you which one to expect before starting.
Why do some floors come back brighter than others?
Stone type and previous care. White and hard marbles take a higher gloss; softer or previously acid-washed floors top out lower. Consistent cleaning products are what keep the difference from widening.
Do you guarantee the same result on every surface?
No, and no honest contractor should. A mixed floor gets one uniform gloss level chosen after testing each surface, which sometimes means a satin finish rather than mirror.
