Raghwat Al Janoub Maintenance and Cleaning
Marble grinding and crystallisation in Dhahran Al Janub
Dhahran Al Janub sits at very high altitude near the Yemen border, its modest homes built on marble and stone facing extreme cold, seasonal floods and heavy rain. Crystallisation polishing here protects from cracking caused by extreme cold and from water penetration from intense rainfall and flash floods.
Why grinding beats a surface polish
-
Shine from the stone, not a layer
A surface polish shines for the first week, then flakes off at the doors and busy walkways.
-
Scratches removed, not hidden
Deep scratches and sunken stains do not wipe away, because they sit inside the stone.
-
A surface that resists Riyadh dust
Central Saudi dust is fine, mineral and constant, and it grinds against a soft polish all day until the shine dulls.
-
Edges and skirtings matched
Many floor jobs leave the corners and skirtings dull, so the edge of every room gives the work away.
Why the job is different in Dhahran Al Janub
Dhahran Al Janub floors suffer deep cracking from extreme cold and water seepage from rain and floods, especially in winter and spring when rainfall is heaviest. The whole method is set out in our notes on marble grinding and crystallisation.
-
Very high altitude, extreme cold and strong floods
Dhahran Al Janub sits very high and experiences some of the Kingdom's coldest temperatures, seasonal rain causes powerful floods in wadis, marble cracks from cold and water seeps into its pores from flooding.
-
Modest homes on wide wadis need floor protection
Modest homes are built on wadi slopes, their marble floors face direct exposure to rainwater and floods during rainy seasons, needing very strong polishing and sealing.
-
Dams and wadis nearby affect moisture and water
Dhahran Al Janub homes sit close to Wadi Arar Dam, Al Qabda Dam and Jebel Shathath, the effects of rainfall and floods on wadis raise humidity around homes significantly.
What's Included
Dhahran Al Janub sits on very high mountain plains between wide wadis, seasonal rains cause strong floods, and extreme cold freezes moisture in marble pores quickly.
-
The stone type and its condition read
Checking marble in Dhahran focuses on deep cracks, current seepage and water pooled in pores before polishing.
-
Coarse grinding to take out the scratches
Filling deep cracks may be needed before polishing if they are leaking floodwater.
-
Stepped through to the fine pads
Removing deep moisture from inside marble pores requires complete drying before sealing.
-
Crystallisation for a hard surface
Very strong crystal sealing is essential in Dhahran because floods and heavy rain will test it constantly.
-
Edges and skirtings
Complete drying after polishing may take days in extreme cold before rains come.
-
A final seal on the pores
Regular maintenance before rain season protects against water seepage and deep cracking.

What is different about Asir Region
Asir climbs from the hot, humid Tihama lowland at Muhayil to the highland plateau of Abha and Khamis Mushait. The high country gets summer monsoon rain, thick fog and cold winter nights, so stone villas, painted concrete and terraced villages such as Rijal Almaa stay damp for weeks, and moss and algae take hold on the shaded side of a facade. Khamis Mushait is the larger commercial city of apartment blocks and showrooms. Wet stone stains, mortar leaches white salts, and cleaning has to work with the weather rather than against it.
