Grouting and polishing
Floor protection for marble, granite and tile installers

Recommended grade500 GSM+
Typical order200–2,500 m² per project
Protects againstHeavy traffic, wet trades
What goes wrong without it
Etching and staining on polished stone, usually not visible until the floor dries, by which point it is a replacement, not a clean.
Typical replacement cost:AED 500,000
Protection cost:AED 5,500
What to specify
Fully waterproof, closed-surface board. Polypropylene is the right material here precisely because it will not absorb slurry or wick moisture into the stone.
