Marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Rimal, Jeddah
Al Rimal is a new south Jeddah subdivision awaiting major construction. New commercial and residential projects need marble and granite floors ground and polished before final handover. Stone surfaces leave the site rough and marked, and diamond-pad grinding combined with crystal burnishing restores them to the smooth, natural gleam developers expect.
- Marble, granite and terrazzo
- Progressive diamond-pad grinding
- Hotels, malls and lobbies
- Finish locked into stone
Why grinding must come before polishing
The new subdivision holds under-construction properties and planned retail and office spaces. Raw stone floors await finishing and polishing before the properties are ready for tenants and customers.
-
Worn lobbies and entrance floors
New projects in Al Rimal need deep grinding to remove construction marks and scratches from the tools and heavy equipment working on site.
-
Post-construction stone preparation
Marble, granite and terrazzo leave the build with a raw, uneven surface, and diamond grinding transforms rough stone into smooth surfaces that reflect light evenly.
-
Scratched or acid-etched stone
Crystal polishing follows grinding and deepens natural shine without adding a topcoat or surface material that requires ongoing maintenance.
-
Ongoing maintenance schedule
Polished and burnished floors in new projects meet contractor and client standards and help deliver the property on schedule and within handover expectations.

What changes about marble grinding and crystal polishing in Al Rimal
New marble floors in emerging projects show construction scratches and deep-set dust more than those in fully built districts, requiring more aggressive initial grinding. For the whole method, see the full marble grinding and crystal polishing page.
-
The first reason
Raw marble requires aggressive grinding first
New construction floors carry tool scratches and pore-embedded dust. Diamond-pad grinding removes the damaged outer layer and reveals the clean stone beneath.
-
The second reason
Crystal polishing restores natural shine without coating
After deep grinding, the stone is smooth but dull. Crystal burnishing works water into the marble surface to bring out natural gloss without a topcoat or sealant overlay.
-
The third reason
New projects demand high handover standards
Emerging commercial and hotel properties need floors that make a professional impression on first visitors. Grinding and polishing meet this standard before the property opens.
The character of Al Rimal
New development: ongoing construction and vacant plots between the homes
Al Rimal is an emerging subdivision with sparse existing buildings, and its new projects require experienced grinding crews who understand high handover standards and can work with varied stone types.
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.

What is different about South Jeddah
South Jeddah is the working end of the city: the Islamic Port, the industrial city with its warehouses and workshops, and behind them older low rise districts such as Ghulail and Al Khumrah. The roads are built for lorries, and port and factory traffic runs through the night, so the dust that settles here is grey with diesel and metal filings rather than pale sand. Buildings are mostly older concrete with flat roofs and open stairwells that collect it. Sea humidity keeps it damp, and in summer it sets hard on ledges and cladding.

Questions worth asking first
Yes, but it's better to finish the main build first to avoid re-grinding due to lingering dust. Timing is agreed with the project supervisor.
Raw marble usually needs two passes: a heavy grind with coarse diamond pads to remove damage, then a finer grind with smoother pads to prepare the surface for polishing.
Polishing restores natural shine but is not a protective coating. Maintaining lustre requires light grinding every one or two years.
Grinding produces heavy water-based slurry that is collected during work. Surrounding areas are protected and cleaned after each phase.
Yes, all natural stone is ground with diamond pads and polished with crystal, but time and pressure vary depending on stone type and hardness.
The surface dries in a few hours, but the stone fully settles within one day. Light foot traffic is possible with care a few hours after work ends.
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 Rimal.
Duration depends on the stone condition and the surface area.
Furniture that cannot be moved by the crew should be moved before arrival.
