Polishing porcelain or ceramic tiles is a good option for those who are looking to restore a high polish finish to their tiles. What many of our clients are surprised to find out is that it is also possible to transform a honed finished tile into a highly polished finished tile. The porcelain and ceramic polishing process is generally split into three stages of restoration. The first stage is to give the tiles a deep clean using an alkaline cleaning solution and a soft cleaning pad. This will remove any existing residues from the surface and will provide us with a clean slate to begin the next stage of the polishing process. This involves applying a micro-honing cream to the surface before mechanically passing over the floor using an agitative pad. The reason for doing this is to remove any light scratches or defects from the tiles ensuring a consistent finish at the end of the project. Once we have achieved the desired result, we can then move onto transforming the tiles to a high gloss finish. To achieve our desired high gloss finish, we must firstly apply a specific polishing cream to the tiles that has been engineered to suit porcelain and ceramic. We would then mechanically pass over the cream using a polishing pad to spread the cream across the whole work area ensuring an even coat is applied throughout. Once we are happy with the level of shine the whole section can then be thoroughly rinsed off. Once dry, your floor will be looking as good as new and will boast a beautiful gloss to brighten up your home.
