Stone restoration involves the preservation, repair, and enhancement of natural stone surfaces, whether they are architectural, decorative, or functional.
Repairing, cleaning, and sometimes enhancing natural or man-made stone surfaces to restore them to their original or near-original condition. Here’s a brief overview:
Cleaning
This step involves removing dirt, grime, mold, mildew, and other contaminants from the stone. Techniques can include chemical cleaning, pressure washing, or poultices for stain removal.
Repairing
Here, any damage like cracks, chips, or erosion is addressed. This might involve filling cracks with epoxy or resin, piecing back together broken stone fragments, or even replacing severely damaged parts with new stone.
