Grinding and polishing of marble and terrazzo

Wet method

Inspect the floors regarding how even the slabs are, if there has not been a final grinding performed at construction. With small differences (up to approximately 1 mm) in between individual slabs, a normal CA-series tool could be used. However, with an uneven floor, there is a risk of chipping and a plastic ring tool (segments embedded in a solid plastic ring) should therefore be used instead, for the first stages of the grinding. Be very careful and make sure all grooves from the previous stage are eliminated.

Clean the floor after every stage to remove all abrasives of the previous coarser type.
As a final stage use the MPC with a polishing pad.

Dry method

HTC can also give you advice for a dry grinding procedure. This is however a more difficult method not generally applicable, since it is only suitable for specific types of marble.
