Marymount College’s Marble Floor Renovation Journey
In the heart of New York, Marymount College stood as a testament to time, its halls adorned with a marble floor that had weathered over seven decades of footsteps. However, with age, the once-glistening expanse had dulled into a worn surface marred by scratches, holes, and uneven tiles, posing a potential hazard to those who walked upon it.
Addressing this challenge required a meticulous approach, a symphony of processes aimed at restoring the floor’s former glory. The task began by addressing the immediate safety concern—uneven tiles. Using precision tools, the team worked to level the floor, erasing the treacherous unevenness that had become a cause for concern.
The next phase was a delicate dance of filling crevices and holes with a specially formulated polyester resin, carefully color-matched to the marble. Each imperfection was meticulously tended to, missing grout replaced, ensuring a seamless surface ready for the next steps.
The restoration continued with a meticulous honing process, refining the surface to an 1800-grit smoothness, erasing scratches and blemishes that had accumulated over time. With the surface now refined, the team brought forth the magic of MB-18 Marble polishing powder, unveiling the lustrous beauty hidden beneath the years of wear.
But the journey didn’t end there. To safeguard the floor’s renewed radiance, a final touch was added—a crystallization process, an extra layer of protection ensuring that the shine would endure the test of time.
Upon completion, the marble floor stood transformed, surpassing its former glory. Where once there were signs of aging, now there was an expanse of elegance that radiated timeless beauty.
