Marble Solution for Polished Marble Floor with Sustainable Marble Care

Marble is a natural stone formed when limestone or dolomite undergoes intense heat and pressure deep within the Earth’s crust. This metamorphic process creates interlocking crystals, giving marble its smooth texture and elegant appearance. Natural impurities like clay or iron oxides produce the unique veins and colors seen in each slab.

How is Marble Formed

Modern Marble Processing
Advances in technology have made marble processing faster, more precise, and eco-friendly. Extraction now uses wire saws and diamond drills to reduce waste. At processing plants, marble is cut, shaped, and polished using CNC machines for custom designs and waterjet cutting for clean, crack-free results. Sustainable practices like water recycling and energy-efficient machinery help minimize environmental impact.

How is Marble Processed

1. Cutting & Preparation

   Marble blocks are sliced into slabs using advanced multiwire saws. Each slab is inspected for cracks or pores to ensure quality.

2. Epoxy Line Treatment
   Slabs are cleaned, then coated with epoxy resin to fill imperfections and boost strength. After curing in controlled conditions, excess epoxy is removed, prepping the surface for polishing.

3. Polishing
   Slabs are ground, honed, and polished using high-grade abrasives and compounds to achieve a glossy finish. A sealant is then applied to protect against stains and enhance durability.

Efflorescence

What Causes Efflorescence in Marble Floors?
Efflorescence appears as a white, powdery residue on marble caused by water carrying soluble salts to the surface.

Common causes include water intrusion through cracks or unsealed grout, high humidity, improper installation, and the use of cement-based materials.

Preventing efflorescence involves sealing the marble properly and addressing moisture issues at the source.

Cracks and Pores

Why Epoxy Treatment Is Essential After Onsite Polishing

Onsite polishing can strip away the factory-applied epoxy, revealing cracks and pores.

Reapplying liquid epoxy restores structural integrity and visual appeal by sealing imperfections.

This treatment ensures a smooth, polished finish and enhances durability by protecting the marble from moisture and long-term wear.
