What is grinding?

Grinding is a mechanical process that removes a very thin layer of tile or marble with graded diamond pads, taking out scratches and leveling joints. It repairs the surface itself.

What is crystal polishing?

A polishing stage with crystallizer products and wool pads that gives the final shine, but does not remove deep scratches.

When do you need grinding?

  • Scratches you can feel with your hand.
  • Dull spots from acids and cleaners.
  • Uneven joints between tiles.
  • General dullness that cleaning does not fix.

When is polishing enough?

  • A level floor without deep scratches.
  • Regular maintenance between grindings.
