The floor was cut using our diamond floor saw and chain saw, thenground and polished. The entire floor was then grouted and stained using 6 colours of acid stain.
|
After staining, the floor was treated with hypergard sealer.
|
Once sealed, the floor is given a final polish with a 3,000-grit diamond. It becomes slip resistant and requires no waxing. Just wash and shine.

Prior to the start of any staining and polishing job, test patches are created.
The actual colours and processes are demonstrated and signed off by the customer before starting. Colours do not reproduce exactly as per colour chart. Testing areas are chosen to be in places out of the way, as colours cannot be easily removed.
