Firstly, it is probably a good idea to offer information that explains what natural stone is in comparison to man-made variations. Natural stone refers to stone types that are quarried from the earth. These are formed over many thousands of years but are natural materials. Some natural stone types include Granite, Marble, Travertine, Limestone and Slate. There are many other variations, but these are some of the best-known.
The other alternatives available for stone floors are manmade tiles. These are not quarried from the earth but are made from material that has been compressed and fired. This creative process allows for a huge range of colours and designs to be achieved.
There are definitely pros and cons for both types of stone floors and each client has their own preferences.
Cleaning natural stone, even for the most experienced individual can be a challenge. It is imperative that the correct products are selected. Alongside this, it is important that any operator of the machinery used to complete the process is experienced. There are many intricacies that can be thrown up throughout the process and it is only experience and knowledge that allows us to tailor the process.
This tailoring means that the optimum results are achieved every time for our stone cleaning work. It has also meant that we have been able to build the trust and respect locally for what we do. When your clients trust in your work, it makes the entire process simple and straightforward. The stone floor cleaning work is delegated to us and their treasured stone floors entrusted to our staff.
