Marble Polishing in Masdar City

The short answer

Marble polishing and restoration in Masdar City: honing, polishing, crystallisation and sealing, matched to the stone rather than applied as a single process.

Marble is calcium carbonate. It is softer and more reactive than it looks, and most of the damage we are called to correct was done by a cleaning product rather than by wear.

In Masdar City, low-rise sustainable residences, offices and institutional buildings, and buildings designed for shading and airflow, where the mechanical systems are the main dust path. Grit tracked in from outside is the other half of the problem, because it abrades the polish underfoot.

An annual check is sensible in a busy villa. A water-drop test shows whether the existing seal is still working.

Acidic cleaners and tracked-in grit. Vinegar and generic bathroom sprays cause more marble damage in this city than anything else.
