Marble Polishing in New York City
Marble Maintenance
(Requires Regularly Scheduled Maintenance)
Believe it or not, the different colors of marble can weigh in on how hard or soft the marble can be in terms of polishing.
White Carrara marble
White Carrara marble is the most prevalent of all the marbles because most clients want a white countertop and it’s the best bang for your buck. It’s a very dependable piece of stone, however, if you don’t care for it around once or twice a year it can get very heavily stained from rust and those stains are very tricky to remove.
White Calacatta
White Calacatta is a white marble with much bigger grey veins with a hint of green. It’s also a marble that needs plenty of care. You need to sand it, hone it, and seal it every year or so to keep it looking good and prevent stains year-round.
Nero Marquina
Nero Marquina is a black marble with white streaks throughout it (veins). It is also a very soft marble for what we call it in the industry. It’s very susceptible to etching from lemon stains, watermarks, and wine or vinegar. The minimum care for a Nero Marquina stone would be around once a year.
Marble will stand up to a lot of use. Despite this, water, dirt, grit, pebbles, shoes, and a whole host of other things we use daily will reduce once lovely floors to tired-looking stone in need of serious attention.
Marble requires scheduled maintenance and sealer every 6-12 months on average if you want to keep it in tip-top shape at all times. We, here at Marble-Lite Inc., suggest it be maintained every 6-18 months. However, the more you wait with marble the worse it will get, corrode, rust, crumble, disintegrate, etc.
When a simple polish won’t do the trick, that’s where we can help. We have restored over one million sq. ft. of marble, in New York City, the five boroughs, and the surrounding Tri-State Area.
We pride ourselves on a clean workspace—before, during, and after a job is completed. We adopt a wet-sanding procedure (no dust), which is better for the stone and the client. It allows the stone to stay cold and the diamond pads to glide across the stone, cutting the dirt, grime, and scratches off with ease. We protect everything that needs to be protected with plastic drop cloths and tape.
