Thanks to Our Manhattan Hard Surface Restoration Services, the Dull Marble Floor on This Office Building Now Shines Beautifully

February 24, 2022

The manager of an office building in Manhattan, NY, needed to restore the marble floor on the property's lobby. The office receives countless visitors on a daily basis, and because of this, the surface endured heavy foot traffic, which caused deterioration. The once beautiful marble surface now had an unsightly appearance. The manager was not happy with this situation, so he decided to look for professional assistance. Thankfully, he found Sir Grout Manhattan, and we provided the best solution.


With a quick internet search, the manager found us. He went online and typed Manhattan Hard Surface Restoration Services on his search engine, and the top results led him to our website. After thoroughly browsing our picture gallery, and reading some of our blogs, he was convinced we could help. Hoping to solve the problem quickly, he filled out the "Request a Quote" form and asked for a free evaluation.

As requested, we visited the office building to assess the condition of the marble floor and to offer an effective solution for the problems. The manager welcomed us and politely showed us the property's affected surface. We immediately noticed the stone had lost its natural shine and it looked dull. Because of this, the entire surface had an unsightly appearance. With a closer look, we found another problem: the surface was unsealed. This was a serious issue because the marble was exposed to all sorts of external agents. To prevent further deterioration, it was necessary to apply a special sealant.

Upon reaching a conclusion, we had the insight to offer a solution. Since regular cleaning methods wouldn't work, this job would require Sir Grout's professional process and high-end equipment. We proposed our hard surface restoration services to remove the damages, give the marble a shiny finish, and improve the floor tenfold. To ensure the efficacy of our methods, we performed a brief test on the surface. After seeing the remarkable results, the manager hired us for the job.

When we returned to the property, we were ready to begin the restoration. Our thorough multi-step process ensures excellent results. First, we cleaned the surface with our stone-safe cleaner and a high-speed scrubber. Our exclusive product doesn't contain harsh agents and it's made with high-quality ingredients, so it won't cause any damage to the marble. When the floor was pristine, we were ready to hone the stone.

For this process, we prepared our diamond honing pads. To rectify the damage we ran three sets, each with increased levels of grit. We continued grinding until there was no sign of deterioration. After honing, polishing is necessary to give the marble a new finish. Since the manager requested a glossy finish, we ground the surface using a series of abrasive materials and special powders. We continued this procedure until we achieved the desired level of shine.

To finish the job, we sealed the surface with a protective sealer. With unmatched protection, our top-notch product blocks the absorption of liquids. It wards off dirt, grime, and other external agents, reducing deterioration and making cleaning routines easy and fast. The coating also enhances the marble with a renewed appearance and provides long-lasting results. As expected, our work yielded a successful restoration, the marble had a beautiful gleam, and the lobby's floor looked phenomenal.

With our goal accomplished, we called our client and showed him the results. The manager was very impressed with the new look of the marble surface. He was pleased because the process had been fast, efficient, and cost-effective. After thanking us, the manager said our performance surpassed his expectations, and before we left, he assured us he would recommend Sir Grout Manhattan to everyone.

Floors in busy commercial areas receive heavy foot traffic, which can lead to quick deterioration. For this reason, these surfaces can be difficult to maintain. To keep these challenging places looking great, it's essential to follow Sir Grout's recommendations. We suggested setting a regular cleaning routine using only pH-neutral cleaners like Sir Grout's Natural Hard Surface Cleaner. Our product is soap-free, doesn't leave a residue, and offers many other benefits. It is also non-toxic and safe for everyone, including pets.

We don't recommend using soap-based cleaners or substances with acidic properties. These products contain harsh agents that can be harmful to the stone. They also leave a residue, which can produce several issues, like etching, stains, or discoloration. Apply the solution using a clean mop, and while cleaning the area, make sure to keep visitors away from the wet surface. Let the floor dry completely and avoid cleaning the surface with abrasive tools because they can leave scratches on the marble.
