Options for Concrete Surfaces

We live in an exciting time for home renovation and green home materials. Although concrete has been used for over 2000 years as a building material, interior and exterior, decorative concrete for individual homes is a relatively new concept. Concrete is getting a lot of attention lately because it is environmentally friendly and cost effective. It is extremely durable and long lasting. Until recently, the only problem with concrete has been that unless your design concept was an ultra modern, minimalist or inductrial style, there wasn’t much one could do with concrete design wise. Colonial Floor Care All that has changed. With acid staining and polishing, there are almost limitless possibilities for color, texture and design using concrete. These techniques have revolutionized how concrete is being used for floors, countertops, stairs, garage floors, patios — even walls! Not only can acid staining provide many color choices, simple techniques can create the...

Tampa Terrazzo Restoration 813-527-9797

Terrazzo Modern House Just an update on our new full time adventure doing terrazzo restoration in the Tampa Staint Petersburg, Clearwater  area.  We are starting a project for a mid century modern house. In this case, the terrazzo floors were covered with tile.  The guys outsourced the tile removal and when the thin set was totaly removed they decovered that there were about 80 holes along each wall.  At first they thought theproject was impossible, then they found our site and read about how we find filling in holes with the proper terrazzo chips an exciting challenge. Once we arrived at the house we too saw the holes, it was clear to us that there was a series of three tack strips that were probably installed over the last 50 years.  We figured that out based on the fact that the holes were 4″ apart. Well I have to say this terrazzo restoration job was a real challenge, it took us a day longer to do the job then expected, but we got it done.  Of course they...

Limestone can give any room or patio a classic

07.25.2011 Limestone can give any room or patio a classic
Posted by admin in home  Comments Off

Limestone is one of the most popular natural stone for construction. It has been the choice of many since ancient times. Limestone can give any room or patio a classic, historic feel.

A common stain on Limestone are black spots, which are commonly known as black algae, which is actually not an algae but a bacteria which feeds on moisture and calcium carbonate – the principal material of limestone. It can be caused by heavy exposure to water – like rain. The best way to clean off black algae is to scrub it with a mixture of oxidized bleach and water. Applying penetrating sealant to the limestone surface may protect the stone from further infection from black algae. Constant maintenance is needed if Limestone is located outdoors to preserve its classic beauty.

If black stains cannot be removed by bleaching, it maybe is time to call a professional stone cleaner/restorer.

Granite is one of the most ideal natural stone for kitchen countertops because of its beauty and high resistance to damage. The durability and elegance granite can cost you quite a lot of money – but there is a cheaper alternative.

Pre-fab granite can be purchased pre-cut, according to stock kitchen designs. The edges also come finished, making the effort and time of installing a granite countertop much easier and hassle-free.

If you are currently building or reconstructing a kitchen and wants that kitchen to look classy and elegant without breaking a sweat and spending a big fortune on pure granite slabs, then pre-fab granite is the best choice for you.

Granite : Pre-fab?

07.07.2011 Granite : Pre-fab?
Posted by admin in marble polishing  Comments Off

Granite is one of the best choices for homeowners to adorn their homes with, especially in their bathrooms, patios, and/or kitchens. The most common use for granite is the kitchen countertop. Sturdy, Tough, and easy to maintain; granite is an ideal material for the kitchen. But a pure granite slab can cost much, and more often nowadays, homeowners are on a tight budget. However, there is a cheaper option to pure granite slabs. Pre-fabricated granite, or pre-fab granite, is a low cost alternative to granite slabs.

It’s already pre-cut to specific countertop sizes and forms, so it works well for stock vanity bases, and galley kitchens. The edges on pre-fab granite are already finished, giving the homeowner less time installing, and more time enjoying the countertop.

However, be extra vigilant of pre-fabricated granite from China. Some pre-fab granite from China can have substandard polymer finishes or manipulated or doctored colors.

Marble Floor Cleaning

We purchased our current residence because of the beautiful marble flooring.  Unfortunately, the marble floors did not stay beautiful for long.  The active lifestyle of the children took its toll on the floors, and the addition of our three pet dogs made the situation worse.  The floor that used to be lustrous became dull, so I tried to clean as often as I can.  No matter how much I cleaned, the marble floors looked the same.  I knew it was time for professional marble floor cleaning, so I contacted Marble Polishing Miami and hired their services.  It was the best decision I ever made.  After the marble floor cleaning, my floors looked brand new again! I could hardly believe it.

Our marble floors is our favorite part of the house.  We loved to entertain and have people over, and our guests never failed to compliment the marble floors.  After a while, I noticed fine etching on the stone’s surface; it was barely noticeable at the time, so I ignored them.  That proved to be a costly mistake.  After a few months, the fine etching became deeper and the marble was soon damaged.  We knew we immediately had to hire a company that does marble floor restoration.  We were lucky to find Marble Polishing Miami.  After their professionals did the marble floor restoration, our marble floors looked so good you would have never thought they were damaged in the first place!

Marble Floor Refinishing

Posted by admin in Marble Floor Refinishing  Comments Off

The house we live in is rather plain when we first found it, so we had marble floors installed after buying it.  The marble floors looked great for the first few months, but the lustrous appearance did not last long.  We have three young kids, so spillage of food and drinks on the floors is a common occurrence.  As if the stains were not enough, we also had to deal with surface scratches.  We almost regretted having marble floors when we learned about marble floor refinishing.  We immediately looked for a  reputable company that would do the marble floor refinishing, and we stumbled upon Marble Polishing Miami.  It was a great thing we did, because they did an amazing job!

If you find that the marble surface you cleaned a few days ago has discolored, you could try this to get back the shine. First, check to see whether the discoloration is rough and dull. Then check all the grout and caulk lines to check for any water seepage. The discoloration might be a form of efflorescence. While not very usual, it is a possibility.

Allow the floor to dry for a few weeks. After it dries completely, use a mildew stain remover for natural stone products. Scrub the surface with it thoroughly. If some discoloration persists, poultice it with the same mildew stain remover. Then, figure out how the water got under the tiles and solve that issue. www.colonialfloorandstonecare.com could provide further assistance.
