Crazing, a natural occurrence in stone.

.

Hi all,
Wow, what a day! Bondi beach on a beautiful day, 26 degrees in Sydney today, and it just makes you feel good to be working with such a beautiful background.

At the same time we are working in Killara for the HVM Group. This company specialises in top quality developments and we are proud to work with Reza and his team. The problem at this project was a natural occurrence on stone called crazing.

Crazing before restoration

Crazing repaired! what a difference

Crazing is not a defect, it occurs on different types of stone. The small cracks fill with dirt and do not mean that the stone is cracking. It does not run through the entire cross section of the tile, and can be fixed using professional stone restoration techniques. It is understandable that people panic and think that the stone is faulty, but once repaired the travertine in this example is restored and as you can see it not only looks good but the stone is now repaired and the fix is permanent.
Ozshine Stone & Tile Care was asked to find a solution to this problem and we are proud to say that as you can see from the following photo the stone not only looks natural, the crazing is now fixed and we can say that this problem is now fixed!

Can you see the difference! It is amazing what our team was able to achieve now the home owner and HVM Contructions have a surface that looks as it should, saving many thousands of dollars in removing and replacing every tile that was affected by this natural phenomena.

Do you have this problem occurring in your home or project, if so call our team, we will asses the problem and provide you with an option other than re tiling!
