ANTI SLIP TEXTURE (BUSH HAMMER FINISH)

Wailea Maui, Hi

I posted a blog earlier for slip treatment on a marble floor, in particular bush hammering.

This is limestone. As you can see it has years of wear and staining. Traditional cleaning and restoration methods didn’t really work for a long term solution.

This is a close up of the finish. We created texture for slip resistance, and really changed the appearance for a whole new look.

Instead of ripping out and wasting materials in the dump, why not see what options are out there to preserve your existing material.

POLISHED FLOORS

Wailea Maui, Hi

We’ve done quite of few of these marble floors. They can be tricky to maintain due to the soft nature and natural veins.

For projects like these, they usually require a restorative cleaning, Diamond sanding, chip repairs, and grout work. We also have to consider extra protection of all surrounding surfaces because of the extent of work.

A great character of this stone is that it look great in a high polished or matte finished. So it can be go along with trends or new finishes.

MARBLE COUNTER TOP RESTORATION

Wailea Maui, Hi

Found this in our archives.

We did this marble counter a while back. This is in a hotel lobby next to there banquet halls. As you can imagine it had a lot of wear and tear. From large etch marks caused by spills, to the common ring from bottoms of cups. These etch marks are caused by acidic substances like cocktails or lemonade for example.

We did a full restoration to remove damages and bring back its high polish sheen. In the end, looked and felt brand new.

We service and restore a variety of countertops materials, natural stone and engineered.

Please give us a call if you need some restoration or maybe just a freshening up to your surface. You can reach us at 808.877.0222

MARBLE SLIP TREATMENT

Wailea Maui , Hi

This property had just installed this beautiful marble. It just had one big problem. The guest were slipping and falling ever time it got wet.

After talking the situation over we came up with a solution, instead of slip treat the traditional way with topical coating with grit in it, which needs to be redone regularly. We decided to go with a process called bush hammering. This not only adds texture and lots of grip, but it really looks cool.

With some regular cleanings by staff, this non slip should perform for years to come

We also provide micro etching as a different solution for ceramic tile and some natural stone

In this case client didn’t think it was enough for this situation.

INTERIOR LIMESTONE FLOORS

KIHEI, MAUI, HI

Another white limestone floor. This was a brand new install and had problems from the get go. The contractor did an awesome job installing it. But unfortunately the nature of white limestone floors are, you can see traffic areas right away. The matter the finish the more it tends to grab dirt and oils from your feet.

We have been trying different products and methods of honing to help surface of stone become more resistant while keeping and matte/satin finish. Every stone and floor is different and can have it own challenges.

We work hard to have great results.

This material will need an ongoing maintenance schedule, a little more than the other materials. But it’s a beautiful stone if properly maintained.

DRIVEWAY STAIN AND SEAL

WAILEA, MAUI, HI

This concrete driveway was integrally colored with this salmon pink color. There was a mix up with color codes.

Integral colored concrete is super expensive already. Especially when it’s the wrong color. The contractor tried to remedy by painting a concrete paint that immediately failed as soon as it was driven on. We had to strip off coating or paint in order to get to bare concrete. This also added to the cost.

We used a WB stain with heavy pigments to cover over the pinkish color. Fortunately the client wanted a dark walnut color and didn’t care about over saturation. The goal was to hide the pink.

Mission accomplished
