How is Marble Polished
ByMarble surfaces are polished by a means of mechanically sanding the marble surface with diamond abrasives, starting with a course grit and progressively using finer abrasives to remove scratches created by the previous grit until the marble starts to show a natural polish.
The first step in the polishing process is grinding
Grinding is a process used to remove excessive lippage on marble tiles or deep scratches. This process uses lots of water and it can be a bit loud. The equipment used must be strong and agrasive.
The second step is Honing.
This step is used to remove scratches created by the grinding process or to remove existing deep scratches. Most marble restoration or marble repair projects can be accomplished by skipping the grinding and starting with the honing.
The next step is final polish
This can be accomplished by using finer diamond abrasives or a polishing powder mixed with water.
