Silicate Marble Polishing in Tezpur
If your polished floor looks bright but shallow, silicate is usually the missing step. It is applied after diamond polishing and bonds with the stone surface, deepening the gloss and slowing down how fast it dulls. Work in Tezpur 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.

What each surface needs
| Treatment | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sil200 | Fast build, strong initial gloss | Homes and moderate traffic |
| Sil800 | Deeper wet look, holds gloss longer | Lobbies, showrooms, hotels |
| Over new stone | Protects an unworn surface | Recently laid or newly polished floors |
| Over worn stone | Short-lived unless polished first | Only after a full diamond sequence |
Every surface is tested on a hidden patch before work starts, so you see the result before committing to the whole floor.

Nothing is hidden behind a shine. Where a surface has damage that polishing cannot correct, we mark it during inspection and put it in writing, so expectations are set before work starts rather than argued over afterwards.
Where a floor has mixed surfaces, each one gets its own pad sequence and compound. Treating Kota stone and imported marble with the same approach is how floors get patchy.
Protection is planned, not improvised. Furniture is moved to one side and covered, curtain hems are lifted, and a walking route is kept clear throughout so the household can still move around.

Silicate Marble Polishing - common questions
Is silicate the same as waxing the floor?
No. Wax sits on the surface and wipes off. Silicate reacts with the calcium in the marble and hardens the surface layer, so the gloss is part of the stone and survives mopping.
How long does it last?
Roughly two to three years in homes and one to two years in heavy-footfall lobbies. Using a pH-neutral cleaner instead of acid is the biggest factor.
Can it be applied to a floor that was never polished?
It can, but it is rarely worth it, because silicate amplifies whatever surface it meets and locks in scratches. We polish to 800-1500 grit first or refuse the treatment.
Will it make the floor slippery?
A high-gloss finish is smoother when wet. In bathrooms, kitchens and on staircases we recommend a satin or crystallised finish instead of mirror gloss.
How long before we can walk on it?
The floor is walkable the same evening. Only normal drying after the polishing stage is needed, with no curing days.
How far in advance should I book?
A week is comfortable. During festival and wedding season, two weeks is safer because crews are booked out for hotel and banquet work.
What access do you need?
A water point, a working power socket, and a clear route for the machines. Society permission for lift use is helpful for upper floors.
Can the job be split across weekends?
Yes. Many clients do one or two rooms each weekend. We keep the same rate per sq ft and you are not billed twice for travel within the same batch.
