Cutting & Filling Joints
Joints were cut to approximately 10mm depth using diamond-tipped blades. Vertical edges were cleaned by the cutting and improved the bonding for the new grout. Dust-control was utilised to ensure that dust was at a minimum during the cutting and grinding processes.
Grinding Joints
A combination of hand and machine grinding was employed to remove excess grout, leaving a flat finish ready for polishing. Where joints had sunk these were topped up prior to the final polish.
Diamond Polishing
Two powerful ride-on machines enabled us to complete the diamond polishing in a very fast time, thus reducing client down-time.
