Frequently Asked Questions
- A: Grinding refers to the removal of large amounts of material from the surface of the stone. Grinding is used to remove deep scratches and staining as well as lippage(uneven surface) thereby smoothing out the surface of the area making it uniform. Honing is the smoothing of the stone, not as aggressive as grinding and removes very little material from the stone, giving a matte(not glossy as with polishing) look to the surface.

Other FAQs :
- Q: Will grinding remove the sealer from my sandstone?
- A: Yes, the mechanical resurfacing process used to grind your floors will remove all coatings, resulting in your floors being in an "as new" condition. Once honed or polished, you should reseal your surfaces with a deep penetrating, impregnating sealer, which avoids staining and will reduce the effect of soiling.
- Q: Can grinding remove deep stains in the stone?
- A: Grinding will remove scratches and stains and give a more uniform appearance to your surface.

- Q: Do I need to apply a sealer to my sandstone?
- A: Tile Cleaners® recommend our clients apply a long lasting water based sealer such as a quality product from Australia's Deepshield® range of sealer's to their tiles as soon as they have been resurfaced. Your sandstone will maintain its beautiful character for longer, while also reduce the amount of required regular cleaning.
- Q: Some areas I want to have ground are in smaller hard to reach places?
