Commonly Asked Questions
Will there be any colour difference after polishing?
Q:
Wood and marble are natural products and their colour changes naturally over time.
When wood is sanded, the colour will usually be lighter. For marble, the areas polished will be shiner.
Therefore it's advisable to polish entire areas/rooms to ensure colour is more uniform.
A:
What kind of finishing can we choose from?
Q:
For wood finishing, you can choose from Matte, Satin or Semi-Gloss. Please contact us for more photos for reference.
Marble finish is usually shiny but the degree of shine depends largely on the type of marble tiles.
We have also done projects where owners requested for honed finish.

Usually, most scratches and surface marks can be removed through the polishing process.
For deeper scratches or darker marks, there might be a need to replace the wood panels.

Most condos require homeowners to apply for a renovation permit before doing any form of renovation work. Some condos would also request a cheque deposit from the owner in order to issue the permit.
A:
Will the polishing works be very messy and dusty?
Q:
The wood polishing machines that we use are made in Germany and the machine comes with a built-in vacuum to help suck in any dust particles produced during the polishing. We can also provide plastic protection sheets to cover up furniture.
However there will some dust and we will not be able to ensure 100% dust-free.
Marble polishing is relatively clean and dust-free.
A:
Is the varnish odour very strong?
Q:
Wood varnish has a strong odour during the drying process due to it's chemical components.
The smell usually lasts for 1-2 days and goes away with sufficient ventilation.
You can also opt for our water-based wood varnish that has little/no odour at an additional cost.

You can always contact us for any issues with the workmanship within 7 days of job completion.
