Intergroup Facility Services has a highly qualified team of sales consultants
ready to evaluate, diagnose and render honest recommendations and cost
estimates. We utilize all of our personnel for resources and expertise.

Onsite meetings,inspections and tests are part of our proposal process.

CLEANING
Detailed methods of machine and hand scrubbing. These include soil, debris
and haze removal, and stripping of many topical sealers, waxes and acrylics.

SEALING
Selection, surface preparation, and application of correct sealer type are all
parts of the sealing process. • Penetrating sealers are flooded onto surfaces,
allowed to dwell for full absorption, then the excess is removed and
the surfaces buffed.

• NSC has some of its own sealers manufactured to specifications for
  optimum use and application.
• Topical acrylic sealer can be applied for some cleafted or rough
  interior surfaces. Multiple coats are applied to insure proper sealing,
  appearance and ease of maintenance.
• Enhancer / sealers are applied to selected surfaces when a greater
  depth of color is desired. Stone type, surface-use and location are
  critical to enhancing agent applications.

POLISHING
Is producing a "high gloss luster" on the stone. Timeless techniques and
proprietary compounds generate polished finishes unmatched in the industry.
Old, worn out floors can be restored. New factory finishes can be improved.
Honed (satin finish) stones can be transformed to give the floor a new
distinctive look. The high gloss finish is part of the stone surface and is not
the sealer. Traffic or worn areas can be re-polished at needed intervals to
maintain an indefinite high gloss finish.

HONING
Removing scratches, etches or worn areas and producing a "consistent satin
luster". Modified abrasives and compounds are used to achieve unique satin
finishes. Manufacturing and transport abrasions, fill residue or construction
and household wear can be removed and an "up-graded", refined honed
finish produced.

GRINDING (lippage removal)
Is removing high, uneven tile edges (lippage) creating semi to completely
flat installations. This eight-to-ten step abrasive process can be done on
individual tiles or to entire floors. The degree of grinding can range from
selective abrading to put floors in "code" (a "partial grind"), or complete
grinding, achieving a flush monolithic surface (a "full grind"). The selected
finish luster is produced after lippage removal.

GROUT COLOR SEALING (STAINING)
Renewing or changing grout color. After the grout is cleaned a "color sealer"
is painted on the grout's surface, presenting a clean, new grout surface
while providing the finest protective sealant available.
