Marble crystallisation across Dubai, 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 Dubai, hard water, fine sand and sealed air-conditioned interiors, in different proportions depending on where the property sits, so the preparation matters as much as the process itself.
Marble crystallisation across Dubai, item by item
- Assessment of whether the stone suits crystallisation at all
- Honing first, so the process is not applied over etching or scratches
- Crystallisation in controlled passes with the correct pad and product
- Edges and thresholds finished by hand
- Slip resistance considered, particularly around wet areas
- Aftercare so the finish is not stripped by the wrong cleaner
Method, not improvisation
- Never applied over unresolved damage
- Not used on stones or finishes where it is inappropriate, and we say so
- Machine speed and pad matched to the stone
- Neutral maintenance products recommended afterwards
Every crew that enters your property is on our payroll, trained by us and named on the job sheet. The supervisor who inspects is the supervisor who hands the work back to you.
What Dubai does to a property
Which community a property sits in changes the job more than most people expect.
The building stock
Every property type in the emirate, from studio apartments to lagoon mansions.
The local condition
Hard water, fine sand and sealed air-conditioned interiors, in different proportions depending on where the property sits.
Access and scheduling
Varies by community; we hold the passes for the areas we work in regularly. The inspection is what turns a general method into a plan for your specific property.
Marble crystallisation across Dubai: 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. Dubai sits on one of our route days, which is why an inspection is usually available within a working day. The inspection is what turns a general method into a plan for your specific property
After an inspection, in writing, with every item named. Nothing is quoted from a phone call and the visit costs nothing.
