Marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Faihaa, Jeddah
Al Faihaa is a planned and relatively modern residential district, and marble in villas and apartment blocks faces heavy daily foot traffic and airborne dust that settles on the surface. Entry floors and hallways show footprints and fine scratches from the early years. Crystal grinding removes the thin dull layer and restores marble to its original shine and smooth finish.

Why grinding must come before polishing
Planned residential areas like Al Faihaa combine luxury villas with modern apartment buildings, where marble and granite are standard in lobbies, common halls and shared corridors.
-
Worn lobbies and entrance floors
Modern villas and apartment buildings in Al Faihaa contain marble and granite in lobbies and halls, and grinding maintains both property value and appearance.
-
Post-construction stone preparation
Shared residential floors face humidity from daily cleaning and constant foot traffic, and moisture and salt deposits accumulate beneath the surface.
-
Scratched or acid-etched stone
Grinding differs from liquid polish because it removes a layer of the stone itself and restores natural smoothness and shine without chemical coatings.
-
Ongoing maintenance schedule
The hospital and park near Al Faihaa add extra foot traffic and impact the upkeep of floors throughout the district.

What changes about marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Faihaa
Marble floors in Al Faihaa show salt stains and moisture marks faster than older districts because of the newer construction materials and higher foot traffic, and early polishing keeps the shine intact. For the whole method, see the full marble grinding and crystal polishing page.
-
The first reason
Dust dulls new marble shine quickly
Dry air carries fine particles that settle on the surface and make it look hazy. Surface wiping removes dust but the dull layer remains. Crystal grinding differs from polishing, it removes the top layer and reveals the stone's natural shine.
-
The second reason
Scratches appear on high-traffic corridors
In villas and apartment buildings, daily foot traffic leaves fine marks on marble, especially in lobbies and hallways. Small scratches accumulated in the early years make the surface look soiled even after cleaning.
-
The third reason
Granite and terrazzo need specialist care
Granite and terrazzo differ from marble in their composition, and grinding requires understanding the density of each stone type. Initial inspection determines the grinding angle and pressure needed for each material.
The character of Al Faihaa
Mixed district: shops at street level with homes above them
Al Faihaa is a planned residential district built with modern villas and apartment buildings, and the marble and granite used is relatively new and benefits from early preventive polishing.
The surface you are left with
A true mirror finish
The surface reflects light cleanly because the stone itself is flat, not because a coating sits on top.
Edges as polished as the field
Hand-detailing at skirting lines, doorframes and column bases matches the field polish.
No residue left on site
Grinding produces a wet slurry that is vacuumed and removed before the polishing stage begins.

Questions worth asking first
Frequency depends on foot traffic and airborne dust settling on the surface. New residential buildings typically need grinding every two to three years to maintain appearance.
Yes, but each stone type has different sensitivity. Initial inspection identifies the stone and determines the right pressure for each material in the lobby.
High shine does not mean excessive slip. The surface remains safe to walk on when dry, and quick drying helps maintain traction.
Fine cracks and added sealants affect the result. The crew inspects the condition and discusses options before grinding.
Grinding requires good ventilation and work area isolation. Coordination with building management minimizes disruption.
Time depends on hallway length and stone type. A 50-metre hallway takes roughly one to two days including full drying.
It is set after we see the job, because the price follows the kind of work, the size of the space, its condition and the time and materials it needs. Send a photo and a short description on WhatsApp and we will give you an estimate before we reach Al Faihaa.
Duration depends on the stone condition and the surface area.
Furniture that cannot be moved by the crew should be moved before arrival.
