Let us overview of how this will be done.

Tile & Grout
Ceramic tile is extremely strong and will last for many years, but the grout between the tiles is very permeable and will openly attract dirt and stain. Professional tile cleaning protects grout from bruising by using a specialized procedure called grout color sealing. It’s sealing grout with a penetrating sealant. Color sealing grout offers the maximum level of grout stain defense and significantly lessens the regular maintenance necessary to keep your tiles clean, dazzling, and lively.
Color sealing makes a protective layer that prevents dust and stains from entering into the grout. The original grout color is protected from fading while the dirt is wiped clean regularly. The benefits of carrying out this procedure are:

• Helps you conserve the new appearance of the grout
• Locks in Uniform Grout Color
• Avoids Staining
• Same Day Renovation
• Chance to Change Grout Colors
• Makes Tile Cleaning & Protection Easier

Natural Stone Care

Natural stone flooring, like marble or travertine, is very strong and can last many years. However, if it is not cleaned correctly using gentle chemicals, it can be quickly damaged. Repair and restoration to the original form can cost you thousands. Building Professionals of Texas have years of experience in the appropriate maintenance of natural stone flooring. We can, not only bring back, but also help you preserve your flooring in its state of natural beauty.

Grinding
The restoration of natural stone such as marble, granite, limestone, and travertine involves the removal of scratches and/or other stains from the surface of the stone. An automatic abrasive method known as diamond grinding is usually used to first get rid of the lippage from the stone floor. These are the edges of stone tiles that have become uneven with one higher than the other. This smoothens out the surface so that the next steps can be carried out more easily.

Honing
The grinding procedure is continued when we enter the honing phase. Extremely fine abrasives are used to create an even surface on the stone. Honing can be accomplished using diamond drillers that are specifically prepared for stone smoothing and renovation. Other tools include abrasive powders and sanding screens. The choice of equipment varies based on the texture and type of stone being dealt with.

Polishing

Polishing is the procedure to be done after the honing is carried out. It is done using finer and more detailed abrasives to establish a polish on the stone surface. At this stage, you will start to witness the original beauty of the stone beginning to shine through again. The end product is a shiny floor that is both toned and firm, and also more resistant to stains.

 Sealing
Sealing stone is the final step of stone and tile flooring restoration, and it should be carried out every 18-24 months to maximize protection and avoid permanent discoloration and damage. Natural stone flooring possesses a very elegant aesthetic look that may be affected and detracted from if not adequately maintained. Building Professionals of Texas will make sure that your stone flooring is preserved in its state of brand-new elegance.
