Polishing Granite is Relatively Easy

Granite is one of the hardest rocks ever, which is valued for its extreme resistance. The mostly grey natural stone is cut-resistant, acid and heat resistant. But sometimes you have to polish granite. Fortunately, because granite is such a hard rock, it is easier to polish than marble.

When polishing marble, you have to be very careful not to scratch the soft natural stone. Granite is significantly less sensitive!

Granite is even used in sports, technology and science.

Polishing Granite: How it Works!

If you want to polish your granite Al Shuwaifat Marble recommends that , It is best to use an angle grinder and diamond discs with a soft bond, otherwise, the diamonds will dull and the polish will not achieve the desired effect. The diamond wheel should initially have a coarse grit, which you refine with each new grinding process so that you approach the last pass with very fine grit.

Select an angle grinder with adjustable speed and set it low (approx. 2000), because if the speed of the disc is too high, a lot of heat is generated. While polishing the granite, you should also cool it with a bucket of water from time to time to keep the heat generation low. Important: Be sure to wear safety glasses and a dust mask
