Limestone Restoration
Is your limestone surfaces looking dull or showing signs of wear & tear? It may be the time for professional limestone restoration.
Over time, limestone can develop cracks, chips, scratches, stains, or lose its shine. If your limestone surfaces have become uneven or rough due to wear or environmental factors, it might be time for restoration. Regular maintenance helps, but sometimes professional care is needed to restore the stone’s integrity and appearance.
At iStone Care, we specialise in limestone restoration services that bring back the natural beauty of your stone surfaces. Whether it’s your home or business, we’re here to help you maintain and revitalise your limestone.
Our Process
Surface Preparation
We begin by thoroughly cleaning your limestone surfaces using advanced, eco-friendly methods. This initial step removes dirt, grime, algae, and any existing sealants or coatings, ensuring a clean base for the restoration process.
Repair and Restoration
Once the surface is prepared, our expert technicians repair imperfections like cracks, chips, and structural damage using specialised techniques and materials. This step restores your limestone’s structural integrity and natural beauty.
Grinding and Honing
Following repairs, we use precision grinding and honing to smooth and level the surface, eliminating scratches, etching, and unevenness. This process results in a uniform matte or satin finish that enhances the natural appeal of the limestone.
Polishing
Next, we polish the limestone using diamond abrasives and premium compounds. This brings out a radiant, high-gloss finish that highlights the stone’s inherent elegance.
Sealing
To further protect the limestone, we apply high-quality sealants. These sealants create a barrier against spills, moisture, and other environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting protection.
Enhancement
In certain cases, we recommend enhancing the colour and texture of your limestone through specialised techniques like stone impregnation. This step amplifies the aesthetic appeal, creating a striking visual impact.
Final Inspection
Finally, after restoration, we conduct a meticulous final inspection to ensure every surface meets our high standards of quality and craftsmanship. Your limestone will look flawless and ready to impress for years to come.
