Whether it's your home, office, or commercial space, countertops, vanities, and flooring, marble lends a touch of class, enhancing the ambiance. Stunningly beautiful and natural, marble is a stone that has gained increasing popularity for its aesthetics and durability, ever since the 1st century BC.
Nevertheless, marble is porous and needs periodic deep-cleansing to ensure that its surface remains flawless.

At Marble Polishing Companies Riyadh, we strive to provide superior marble cleaning, polishing, and sealing services to help you maintain the beauty of your marble surfaces. Our team of professionals uses advanced techniques and high-grade materials to ensure that your marble countertops, vanities, and floorings remain in the best condition. Marble polishing is a 5-step process as detailed below:
First, the surface is thoroughly cleaned. Then cracks if any are filled out and any lippage eliminated to ensure the surface is completely even and flat at the grout lines. Diamond grinding is then done to a very fine grade until a polished finish is achieved. This eliminates scratches, allowing natural crystals on the surface to reflect light more effectively, lending a sheen to the marble surface.
Honing is a process where silicon carbide or diamond particles are rubbed over the surface to remove a minute amount of stone. In the process they remove or smooth out scratches and ingrained soil, giving it a matte finish. This finish will be scratch-resistant as it is not glossy. It is created by stopping short of the next stage, leaving the stone with a non-shiny, matte look and velvet-like touch.
Polishing is a treatment that aims to ensure the marble remains shiny, clean and spotless. The marble surface is polished using diamond polishing powder with fine diamond abrasives and/or diamond pads to eliminate any residue scuffs and light scratches, transforming the shiny surface into a deep, lustrous gloss.
Crystallization is the process in which a steel wool pad is used in combination with a weighted floor machine and acid solution to bring a polish to stone floors. This is done using a standard speed floor machine. The steel wool generates heat through abrasion and the chemical reacts with the marble, producing a new compound on the surface of the stone. Crystallization is effective only with calcium-based stones such as marble and limestones.
A technique for getting the best appearance with a marble surface is to use a sealer that is also a marble enhancer. Marble is soft and porous, which means that marble surfaces absorb liquids that could leave stains. Hence, marble needs to be well-sealed to minimize damage to their flawlessness. The sealant will protect interior marble surfaces for up to 5 years and exterior marble surfaces for up to 3 years.
