Marble demands special attention.
Architects and designers today are finding more and more creative uses for marble. The technology to clean and maintain marble however, has remained at a virtual standstill for the last century.

Soon after installation, most marble floors are already being marred by heavy traffic. In an attempt to protect floor surfaces, maintenance engineers have turned to waxes, polymers and synthetic finishes, coating the marble with a durable film. Unfortunately, the harsh alkalinity of these coatings and the added alkalinity of strippers needed to take them off causes efflorescence, which further deteriorates the marble.

Now there is 'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process'.

Innovative chemistry has been combined with years of practical installation and maintenance experience to develop 'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process'. The process utilizes specialized chemical compounds and equipment, including a unique floor machine especially developed for this application.

'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process' reduces disintegration and crumbling of the surface under hard mechanical wear and weathering. The surface becomes approximately 10 times harder than an untreated marble surface.

Our high-tech approach to marble restoration is regarded as a break-through by industry experts and presently faces no competition in the market. The alternative to the 'Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process' involves a centuries-old procedure of Oxalic Acid polishing, similar to the process done in marble quarries when the stone is first polished.

• 'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process' resists erosion by water and washing.
• Densifies marble to decrease penetration by water thus treated surfaces absorb only about one-tenth as much water as an untreated surface.
• Resists penetration by grit and dirt and makes the floor easier to wash.

A perfected technique has been developed to utilize 'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process' on granite floors, opening up yet another new market for the process.

The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process.

Helps protect against the corrosive or deleterious action of a wide variety of oils, chemicals and salts.

This enhanced surface is easily polished with the mechanical action of steel wool pads.

Never needs to be stripped off floors as there is no buildup.

The Polishing Process brings out the intrinsic beauty of marble and keeps it looking better for longer.

How Do The Systems Work?

The Three Step 'Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process':

STEP ONE: Initially, a grinding process takes place. The amount of grinding is determined by a number of factors, such as the age and colour of the marble, depth of scratches, traffic wear, levelness of surface etc.

STEP TWO: Next, the freshly ground surface is chemically hardened, transforming the calcium carbonate into a fluoride derivative. This phase of the process significantly increases durability and protects from staining. The end result is a marked reduction of maintenance costs.

STEP THREE: Finally, a brilliant glass-like finish is returned to the marble, which in most cases is actually deeper that the original quarry-applied finish. The 'Mirror Image Polish' lasts many months longer than any polymer of synthetic coating, and will never require stripping.

'The Mirror Image Marble Polishing Process' offers a practical alternative to marble replacement at only a fraction of the cost.

Mirror Image Marble also supply maintenance chemicals which can be applied by janitorial staff or cleaning services at regular intervals, depending on floor traffic. These chemicals renew the 'Mirror Image Marble Polish' shine and durability.
