Carl,

 

Call Richard James Chemical, if I recall the last time I spoke with Bruce and Katrine they had a coating that held up very good. Don’t have the phone number handy but google them. They also have a product call StoneLoc that great for slate, flamed granite and other stones.

We were brought into this property by a fabricator so all dealings are thru them.

There is a total of 6000 sq ft of granite, about 400 sq ft that is spalling probably due to moisture underneath being trapped by the sealer.

We did inform them that the coating on the floor could be the problem with the spalling because the stone can't breath. (I guess we were ignored)

They ask us for 2 prices, strip/recoat and restoration, we did offered them a restoration/maintenance program.

They just wanted the strip/recoat and restoration prices and a sample of the strip and recoat so they can see how that looks before they make a decision.

So any suggestions on a good sealer/wax

Thanks

Carl

Carl,

 

Instead of coating the floors why not offer a restoration/ maintenance program. This allow the customer to spread their cost over a period of time and allow the building to charge this off as CAM charges.

 

I have in the past closed a lot of deal this way and then turned these into ongoing maintenance programs .

I have the same situation going on in an office building but they want me to give them a sample for recoating the floor, any suggestions on a good sealer/wax?

It always amazes me how hotels never have any money for their floors but have plenty of money for things like christmas parties, new carpeting etc. Afraid there is no short cuts. if the floor has been waxed that long it is most likely worn. You can try polishing but I doubt they will be happy with it and will probably want it done for what they would pay to have it waxed.

That wax needs to come off.  Wax is a lazy cheap way to try to hide imperfections and make a fake shine.  It traps dirt and os a maintenance plan nightmare on top of it suffocating the granite.  One option would be to break down the restoration into different appointments.  First to strip and make it healthy and then the next step at the next appointment...each visit would bring that surface closer and closer to its natural and healthier luster.  Then, they can pay bit by bit.

Hi Partners,

 

I am looking for some feedback on this one. It is a lobby floor, several KSF, of lippy granite that has been maintained by waxing for at least two decades. The hotel is not in a position to restore the floor, unfortunately. I would like to provide another option beside putting finish back on it, after it is stripped, if possible. I am wondering if steel wool and powder would do much, or perhaps mb-20, mb-8? Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks for your thoughts,

 

Jason
