I have used acid with good success, depends on the stone. Sulfamic acid, a neutral cleaner to make it lay flat, hudson sprayer. You have to test and put some thought into it, but it is a quick option and looks great if it is done right.

Roger,

I'll have to tell you that I originally thought that the floor always had to be machine flattened. Even had a bet about it with John with The Stone and Tile School when I went down there in September...he won the bet.  I was so sure I was right and I honestly couldn't understand how one didn't have to end up on their hands and knees to deal with picture framing. John smiled and showed us a method that not only saved time and energy, but helped us close the sale because I didn't "have to" sell the expensive service of lippage removal. However, I still price it out and leave it as an option for the customer.

All,

I was looking for suggestions on removing the gloss from a floor and leaving it with a honed finish. Easy enough except for all the picture framing. I have come to conclusion that the floor 1st needs to be flatten so as not to deal with picture framing.

Appreciate any suggestions on options to take a floor from polished to a hone finished with no picture framing.

 

Thanks,
