The Correct Technique To Polish Marble - Granite Floor
Marble and Granite are the two most commonly used stones thanks to their aesthetics and high durability.
Marble
Marble is metamorphic rock from limestone, with a non-shale structure with the main component being calcite (carbonate mineral, the most stable form of Calcium Carbonate - CaCO3). There is natural and artificial marble. With good heat resistance, diverse colors and unique, non-duplicating veins, Marble creates a comfortable and luxurious space. Therefore, it is often used widely for flooring in living rooms, corridors, walls or stairs in buildings.

Granite
Granite is a type of magmatic intrusive rock with mainly acidic composition and has been discovered since ancient times. The structure of Granite is quite similar to volcanic lava, but its hardness is higher because it is crystallized from deep inside the earth with great pressure.
The main components of Granite are Feldspar (≥ 50%), Quartz (25 - 40%), Mica (3 - 10%). However, each type of mineral is composed in different proportions, so it will also create rock samples with its own characteristics, textures, colors and patterns.
Similar to Marble, Granite is also classified into natural and artificial Granite. Thanks to features such as high durability, diverse and unique patterns, and good heat resistance, bearing capacity and waterproofing, Granite is preferred as a tile for countertops, floor stairs, wall tiles for houses, hotels, restaurants...
