Marble Crystallisation in District One

The short answer

Marble crystallisation in District One, applied after honing to harden the surface and lift the shine, on stone that is suitable for it.

Crystallisation is a chemical and mechanical process that hardens the very top of the stone and raises gloss. Applied to the right stone after proper preparation it is excellent; applied as a shortcut over damage it seals the damage in.

In District One, lagoon-side humidity with very large areas of glass, where drying marks show more than dirt does, so the preparation matters as much as the process itself.

questions

Marble crystallisation in District One: what owners ask

No. Polishing is mechanical refinement of the surface; crystallisation is a chemical hardening that raises gloss. They are often used together.

A high-gloss finish is more slippery when wet. Around pools and wet rooms we will recommend a different finish rather than the shiniest one.

It depends entirely on traffic and on what the floor is cleaned with afterwards. Acidic products strip it quickly.

Yes. District One sits on one of our route days, which is why an inspection is usually available within a working day. Glass here is usually the largest single item in the scope
