Ron,

This floor should be easy to maintain, provided you have a maintenance program that is structured. Our service company maintains commercial office building and hotel and we guarantee our customers they will never pay for restoration ever for as long as we maintain the floor.

Not too many if any other companies will give a guarantee, we do and I have given this type of guarantee to my commercial customer for over 20 years.

We have a formula set for maintenance and how you approach these type of jobs. We give this in our Maintenance training class.

Maintenance is the best business to have and with the guarantee the floor never goes out to bid unless you don’t follow the maintenance program.

I would love to have this floor for a maintenance contract.

God Bless you Ron-

Does your limestone look like this-don't mind the two shades we were testing color enhancers

This came from portugal and is quite common, seen it in commercial , residential and even on buildings.

We have restored a bunch-real easy to work with but never had to maintain one.

I would love it-put them on a contract and figure out the process.

I wouldn't even worry about if it was properly specified. What is that stuff they drop down from heaven very rarely-Manna!

I am sure you can find a way to maintain it.

Dayron,

Thank you for your assistance. I also think that sometimes the architect is building a shrine to themselves and not putting any thought to the maintenance of the material.  If this moves forward picking up a space with 10,000 sf to maintain,  even quarterly will be VERY WELCOME!

Thanks again my friend and I hope to attend one of the partner retreats to meat everyone. Busy now running a good business,  taking care of a wife with cancer and raising two young boys. Hard for me to get away. I really appreciate your input. Best to you!

I've done it on concrete never on marble. What grit do u apply after 200 or 400 ?   With limestone in a commercial building I personally think it's a bad idea.  Foot traffic and janitorial company will wear it out.  Great for us cause they will call us. I had an elevator cab that had a limestone floor.  Building had over 300,000 sq ft for tenants.  We had to restore monthly, it wasn't cost effective for manager

Dayron,

We have used them on marble,  limestone and concrete. It is my opinion that the stone treated with the densifyer polishes to a higher shine with better clarity than those done without.

The polishing of concrete is the same. It's now used on every job we do and that aspect of our business is 50%.

From south Florida to find a contractor who actually cares about what will happen to a floor after it's installed is truly rare. 

 

Here what I would do

 

I would call tech support of densifier your gonna  and ask for district representative.  Ask the reps have they used Densifier on limestone, who used it and ask for their number. 

 

I have experience with some reps they promise everything will work , then I follow instructions to the T and it fails , the rep I dealt with automatically said it was an install problem (me). Moral of this story do your homework and cross your t dot your i 's .  

 

If you do something for this job document everything and video mixtures ad procedures COVER YOUR ARSE

Guys,

This contractor is concerned about putting a soft stone in a very high traffic area. He is looking to do whatever we suggest if it will help strengthen the stone. I believe that he just wants to do whatever is possible to make this product more durable.

I am very familiar with the new material that Ameripolish has out. We use it a great deal in our concrete polishing. I've also talked with Darren at sealsource about using their materials on stone. I guess I'm just beating the bushes to get feedback for a very good client.

As always,  your time and suggestions are very much appreciated. Thanks everyone.

When you say protecting, are you referring to stain issues?  
Here is my 2cents on Densifiers. I have worked with several of them when I used to polish concrete. They all say that they will dust proof the floor, they also say that it will harden the floor if applied correctly. With regards to stain (lithium based) once you apply finish polishing concrete the last step you would apply " protecter and then burnish it.

  But none of them say anything on application on natural stone.

Partners,

Second attempt starting this thread. Client installing 10,000 sf of Portuguese limestone. I don't have the name handy but it's definitely on the soft side. My clients question is what is the best densifyer or hardner and once applied is there anything further that we can do to protect it. The stone is a honed finish.

Your time and input is appreciated. Thanks.
