Some of the other surfaces we can resurface are fiberglass, cultured marble, metal, appliances. Marble demands special attention. Architects and designers today are finding more and more creative uses for marble. The technology to clean and maintain marble, however, has remained at a virtual standstill for the last century. Soon after installation, most marble floors are already being marred by traffic.
Surface scratches, dullness, and discoloration are the result of wear and tear on marble floors.
In an attempt to protect floor surfaces, we have turned to waxes, polymers and synthetic finishes, coating the marble with a durable film. Unfortunately, the harsh alkalinity of these coatings and the added alkalinity of strippers needed to take them off causes opening up of the stones pores, deteriorating the marble. And, further discoloring and dulling of the stone. Now there is the patented Grind Renew process. Surface Doctor has successfully linked innovative chemistry to develop the Grind Renew process.
