You must have specialized machinery and many years of experience to grind and hone a Limestone floor, nevertheless the result is incredible. The Limestone floor will get a monolithic appearance as just one piece of Limestone.

After grinding, the Limestone will be the same level the grout lines. After grinding maintenance is a piece of cake, because the mop slides on the floor.

Many Victorian and Edwardian hallways could have floors produced from Geometric Encaustic tiles.

The tiles are unglazed resulting from the natural colours from the clay used in their manufacture.

Due to their age, these floors have had plenty of wear and often have layers of various sealers.

Cleaning these floors can be challenging due to all of the old sealers and residues.
