Crystallization polish is a treatment in which a special liquid that reacts with the marble surface is worked in with a steel wool pad, using heat from friction. A thin, hard, glossy layer forms on the surface; unlike paint or varnish, this layer does not sit on top but becomes part of the stone. In Alanya, we apply crystallization polish to honed or slightly dulled marble and mosaic floors.
What does our crystallization polish service include?
Crystallization polish alone does not remove scratches, so before starting we check whether the floor is ready for polishing. If necessary, honing is done first. Our work includes:
- Washing the floor and removing old polish residues
- Preliminary honing, if required
- Applying the crystallizing liquid section by section
- Polishing with a steel wool pad using heat from friction
- Hand-finishing edges and corners
- Extra reinforcement of walkways
- Periodic maintenance program
- Final cleaning after the job
Areas where we apply crystallization polish
Crystallization polish is especially effective on heavily used marble floors where a glossy appearance is desired:
- Hotel lobbies and corridors
- Residential complex and apart-hotel entrances
- Villa and apartment living rooms
- Restaurant and café floors
- Stores and showrooms
- Marble stairs
- Mosaic and terrazzo floors
- Bank and office entrances
How we work
- Assessment: We inspect on site whether the floor needs honing or just polishing.
- Cleaning: We wash the surface and remove the old polish and layer of dirt.
- Pre-honing: If there are heavy scratches or dullness, we hone first; polish does not hide scratches.
- Crystallization: We apply the liquid in small sections and work it in with a steel wool pad, heating the surface as we go.
- Second coat: We apply a second coat to heavily used areas.
- Handover: We buff the floor with a dry pad and hand it over.
What does crystallization polish give you?
- Deep shine: A wet-look, sharply reflective surface.
- Hardness: The surface becomes more resistant to scratches and wear.
- Easy cleaning: Dirt stays on the surface and is removed with a mop.
- Long life: The result of the honing lasts longer.
Polish does not repair a scratched or worn floor. For such floors, marble honing is needed first.
Periodic maintenance for hotels and housing complexes
In lobbies and complex entrances that are heavily used throughout the season in Alanya, the shine fades within a few months. Instead of honing the floor from scratch every time, doing regular crystallization maintenance is both cheaper and quicker.
- General maintenance before the season opens
- Interim maintenance of walkways during the season
- Inspection and repair at the end of the season
State-of-the-art devices and equipment
In crystallization polishing work in Alanya, on marble, terrazzo and limestone floors, the first thing that determines the quality of the job is the right equipment. We choose devices and materials according to the type of surface and the place where the work is done; we do not use products that are harmful to human health or the environment.
- Heavy-bodied, low-speed polishing machines
- Steel wool and polishing pads
- Crystallization polishing chemicals suitable for marble
- Vacuum machines that collect dust and sediment
When working wet, we vacuum up the dirty water at the same time, so the sections not being worked on can continue to be used while the job is in progress. When the job is finished, we also explain how to handle the daily cleaning and maintenance of the surface.
World-class quality
No matter how good the machinery and materials are, it is the craftsman's hand that produces a clean, lasting surface. Crystallization polish only takes on stones containing calcium carbonate; it is not applied to granite or porcelain. We examine the stone on site and tell you in advance whether the polish will hold.
For years, our team has carried out crystallization polishing work in hotels, housing complexes, villas and workplaces across all districts, especially Alanya city center, Mahmutlar, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli, Avsallar, Türkler, Konaklı and Okurcalar. On every job, we determine the steps according to the condition of the surface and show the same care at every stage.
Pricing and quotes
Crystallization polishing is priced per square meter; if pre-grinding is needed, it is calculated separately. We give the final price after seeing the job on site; the site survey is free of charge. The factors that determine the price are:
- Size of the area
- Whether pre-grinding is required
- Number of floors
- Whether there is a periodic maintenance agreement
For preliminary information, just send a few photos and approximate measurements via WhatsApp.
