Ceramic

It’s hard to beat ceramic tile for its combined beauty, versatility and durability. It’s the perfect option for your bathroom, kitchen or even entryway floors.

While many ceramic surfaces may already appear polished, precision polishing may be applied as a secondary step to achieve an even greater level of surface smoothness and evenness. The ceramic experts at Stone Medics can help evaluate your material and its intended application to determine if polishing is warranted or advisable.

Ceramic tiles typically do not need to be sealed—however in some cases, it may be warranted to strengthen your surface’s defense against dirt, spills and erosion. StoneMedics can help you evaluate if sealing is the best option for your ceramic tiles, and determine a schedule for routine sealing and maintenance to ensure the best results for your ceramic’s appearance.

Ceramic tile is popular for many reasons, not the least of which is its easy general care. However like any material, it does require some upkeep. Ceramic tile requires routine cleaning—includes scrubbing, stripping, buffing and waxing—using the highest quality finishing and refinishing products to ensure your surface retains its quality and durability for as long as possible.

Worn-looking ceramic tile is a tell-tale sign that the top glaze has taken a beating—and is in need of restorative care. This is especially true if you have ceramic tiles on the floor with frequent foot traffic. Yet while dirt and wear can make your tiles look tired, explore cost-effective restorative options before investing in a complete replacement!

Regular maintenance and care will help keep your glistening ceramic tiles looking new! Glazed tile products should be cleaned routinely with an all-purpose, low-VOC household or commercial cleaner, while unglazed tiles should be cleaned routinely with concentrated tile cleaners with a neutral pH for safe regular use. The product chosen should also be grout joint cleaning compatible.

Stone Medics can help with proper ceramic tile maintenance, including advice on proper cleaning.
