We are currently polishing a floor ST Marktm. There have been tile replacement and
you can dramatically see what was restored in the past compared to the manufacturers
finish. Originally the floor on a lower level was grinded and
polished. Later a few tiles were changed. The difference is staggering.
The manufactured product looks like a flat piece of glass, the grinded material
looks like its warped, opened veins, pores etc. This looks to me like the
perfect bad effect of having a resigned stone. Looks great initially but
the moment you try to maintain it , you get in trouble.
One floor on two levels, top and bottom
Bottom
lippage free, except for certain areas which were changed
Finish High Shine
Sealed Using Enhancer pro DuPont
Certain areas polished floor using Nilfisk Crystallizer,
more clarity achieved but floor now looks greasy
Top
Has Lippage (never grinded)
Sealed using Enhancer pro from DuPont
Polished maintained using polishing powders
Also tried polishing floor using Nilfisk Crystallizer,
more clarity achieved but floor now looks greasy
I have tried polishing it, but the color faded,
We the proceeded to enhance it, looked better
The crystallizer really brought out the clarity
But now it looks like a film is on the surface
