NuTech Floor can thoroughly clean your grout and restore it to its original color. Then, a high-quality sealant is applied to help prevent staining and deep penetration of dirt, oils and other contaminates. Grout colorants can also be applied if you desire a change of color.  Stone Restoration
Stone gradually loses its luster and sheen. This can be caused from normal wear, improper cleaning procedures or excessive abuse. Areas with more use typically show more wear. Using the proper equipment, our experienced staff will bring back that glossy shine and color. Our company has been relied upon by discriminating homeowners from all over Ventura County, Santa Barbara County, LA County and beyond since 1988.

Sealing stone and grout is a vitally important step after a new installation, one that is sometimes overlooked. Failure to properly apply a high-quality sealant gradually affects the durability, appearance and feel of your stone surfaces. Since 1988, NuTech Floor has been providing resealing on a wide variety of stone and tile products including floors, countertops, showers, patios, kitchens, bathrooms and more.   |  |  |  | | Marble | MARBLE: CHARACTERISTICS
This standard includes general information on the characteristics
and common uses of marble and identifies typical problems
associated with the material.
INTRODUCTION
Marble is an extremely hard, metamorphic stone composed of calcite
(CaCO3). It is formed as a result of the recrystallization of
limestone under the intense pressure and heat of geologic
processes. The effect of this process is the creation of a stone
with a very tight crystalline structure and small but definite
porosity. Because of its structure, marble can take a very high
polish and is a very popular decorative stone for architectural and
sculptural uses. The limited porosity of marble, especially
polished marble, makes it less vulnerable to the leaching effects
of water. Calcium carbonate, however, of which marble is composed,
is highly susceptible to attack by acidic agents. Marble is
readily dissolved by acids, even very dilute acids, however the
actual results of acidic exposure will vary with the nature of the
acid. Chlorides, nitrates, sulfates and other chemical compounds
react differently with marble and produce various by-products,
which have a wide range of solubility and impact on the durability
of marble. For this reason, it is always important to determine
the exact type of pollutants causing marble deterioration.
Marble itself can be of two types, one composed of calcite and the
other of dolomite. Dolomitic marble is much more resistant to acid
attack than calcite marble. The color of marble ranges from the
brilliant white of calcite to black, including blue-gray, red,
yellow and green, depending upon the mineral composition.
TYPICAL USES
Marble has many decorative and structural uses. It is used for
outdoor sculpture as well as for sculpture bases; in architecture
it is used in exterior walls and veneers, flooring, decorative
features, stairways and walkways. The way in which the stone is
used may be a factor in limiting or controlling the severity of
exposure. The use or function of the marble may also affect the
feasibility of applying certain treatments, but type of use is not
the primary factor in the major types of deterioration and damage
to which marble is susceptible. | |  |  |  |  | | |
