Tile Buffing in Delhi NCR
Vitrified, ceramic and porcelain tiles do not fade, but the surface does. Fine scratches and cleaning residue build up into a grey haze that no amount of mopping removes, and that is what tile polishing corrects. 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.
- Gloss and polish-condition check first
- Masking of skirting, walls and fittings
- Diamond polishing to the grit the treatment needs
- Even section-by-section silicate application

What each surface needs
| Treatment | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Sil200 | Fast build, strong initial gloss | Homes and moderate traffic |

| 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.
How the job runs
- Assessment to confirm silicate suits the stone and the room
- Diamond polishing to 800-1500 grit so there is a finish worth locking in
- Silicate applied in sections and buffed while it reacts
- Second pass on heavy areas for even gloss
- Gloss check and a list of cleaners to avoid

- Never use acid, bleach, vinegar or abrasive powder on stone
- Wipe spills promptly, particularly lemon, tea and oil

Payment terms are stated upfront: advances apply only where material has to be bought for a large job, and the balance is settled after the walkthrough so you are never paying for work you have not seen.
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.
Weight and load matter on upper floors and terraces. Where a slab has been laid over a void or a lightweight screed, we reduce machine weight and speed rather than risk cracking the base.

Tile Buffing Services - 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.
What should I avoid in the first week?
Wet mopping, chemical floor cleaners, dragging furniture and placing potted plants back on the floor. Dry mopping and clean water only until the finish settles.
Which cleaner do you recommend?
Any pH-neutral stone cleaner, used with clean water and followed by drying. That single habit prevents most of the dullness and staining we are called back to fix.
What voids the finish durability?
Acid and abrasive cleaning. A floor polished this month can look dull in eight weeks if it is mopped with an acidic general-purpose cleaner.
