Floor polishing is not merely about making the mosaic look good; it is a comprehensive restoration and protection process that addresses all the problems mentioned above.

1. Complete Surface Restoration: Grinding and Honing

Professional mosaic polishing goes much deeper than buffing. The process typically involves three critical stages:

• Grinding (Ghisai): If the floor has deep scratches, significant lippage (uneven edges between adjacent tiles), or widespread damage, the process begins with grinding. This uses coarse diamond abrasives to level the floor, removing the top damaged layer and eliminating deep scratches, resulting in a perfectly smooth, uniform plane.
• Honing: This intermediate stage uses progressively finer diamond pads. It removes the visible scratch pattern left by the grinding process and begins to bring out a smooth, satin finish, preparing the surface for maximum light reflection.
• Crack and Joint Filling: During the grinding and honing phases, a professional service meticulously identifies and fills cracks and gaps in the tiles and grout using specialized epoxy or color-matched filler compounds. This restores the structural integrity and creates a seamless, durable surface.

2. The Final Luster: Crystallization and Polishing

The final polishing phase is where the magic happens, delivering that high-gloss, reflective finish.

• Chemical Polishing/Crystallization: This step often uses specialized chemical compounds (like oxalic acid or metallic salt compounds) that react with the calcium carbonate in natural stone mosaics (like marble or cement-based terrazzo) to create a microscopically thin, hard, glass-like layer on the surface. This layer is what gives the floor its durable, brilliant shine.
• Protection and Longevity: The polishing process effectively seals the pores of the mosaic tiles. This protective layer acts as a shield against future spills, dust abrasion, and moisture absorption, making the floor significantly easier to clean and maintain for years to come.

3. Restoring the Artistic Intent

Mosaic is an art form. When the surface is dull, etched, and the grout is black, the intricate patterns are lost. Polishing restores the contrast and vibrancy of the tiles, allowing the original artistry—the geometrical patterns, the floral motifs, and the depth of color—to truly shine through and become the stunning focal point of the home again.
