Natural stone is sensitive and requires professional attention. When working with natural stone, we follow a strict multi step procedure to ensure your tile is safe, protected and left undamaged.
When Should You Polish?
The three main types of stone we are able to polish are travertine, marble and limestone. Travertine is the most common stone we see in Arizona homes. Polishing is necessary when you are looking to alter the finish or “shininess” of your floor. Polishing can also be useful when one section of floors finish is beginning to wear and become dull compared to other areas. Typically we recommend completing the floor all together to ensure their is a consistent finish thorughout.
What Finish Should You Go With?
Our options our Matte Finish, Medium Gloss Finish and High Gloss Finish. We offer three different options of finishes and they’re based on degrees of how shiny you would like your floor. If longevity is a big concern we highly recommend going with either of our first two options, Matte Finish or Medium Gloss Finish. The reason being is that the shinier the floors finish the more visible and apparent scratches and other blemishes become. The lower the shine the more durable the floor. If you just want that mirror finish then you are best off going with our High Gloss Finish.
Medium Gloss Finish Is Our Recommended Choice.
For 99% of our customers we recommend going with our Medium Gloss Finish. Why? Because it offers the best value. Its both shiny enough to be eye-catching and durable enough to last. Sometimes people want their floors to be mirror finish and we’re willing to that. We just always warn of the up keep necessary with that type of a finish
