Stone countertop restoration
Countertops when newly installed, have a bright and reflective finish that moves with changes in light to give an elegance look to a room. However, with use this finish tends to dim, losing its shine as then becomes dulled and scratched. Stone Countertop restoration helps to repair and restore the stone original shining look.
The process of restoring stone countertops involves four steps which include-
Grinding
Grinding is done when your cabinet company did not install the cabinet correctly and the countertop was installed and now at the seam is uneven. This step removes all roughness and gives flatness to the stone countertops. Also, it removes the deepest scratches and stains from the countertop.
Honing
Honing is a process of stone countertop restoration, which gives a matte, or satin finish to the counter. It removes scratches, stains and provides a uniform appearance to the counter. Honing has zero to no reflectivity, and the colors are silent while keeping a very earthy and natural look.
Polishing
Polishing is the process that changes the existing finish of stone counters to achieve a smooth and resilient finish. Polishing gives a semi-shining effect to the stone counter. It enhances the veining and increases the reflectivity of the counter. Polishing can be enough to bring back the shine for stone in excellent condition.
Crystallization
The crystallization is the process of spraying a chemical on the stone counter and buffing it in with steel wool. It creates microfilm on the surface of stone, which is stable and durable and helps to protect the stone while keeping the color and the brightness.
This process protects the surface of the stone, gives shine and may increase its wear by hardening the stone if carried out by a professional.
