MIA Restoration Committee

The MIA ( Marble Institute of America ) based in Cleveland, OH..has initiated a Restoration Committee composed of

practicing experts from around the country – putting their

talents and brains together to help solve the many, many

” sticky issues ” and confronting problems that face residential and commercial consumers – ACROSS THE WORLD  who want their marble, terrazzo, granite, slate,

limestone, onyx, cement based concrete, serpentine,

basalt , and other natural stone surfaces to look the

best they can….

Our President , Mike Pavilon, is the Chairperson of the

Commercial and Historical Sub-committee of the

Project for the MIA – dealing with the many different

issues that Lobbies, Hotels , facades and other areas

unique to Commercial Bldgs have with Natural Stone..

not just including dealing with the State Landmarks

Commissions or the Federal – National Trust for

Historic Properties bureaucracies …

The size, the kind of Stone within the revolving door

areas, the various Marble or Limestone Staircases,

the safety involved with a restoration project among

the ” foot traffic ” of Lobbies, and the incredible

removal of old waxes, seals , urethane and other

topcoats that may have been trampled on for decades

are all part of this Subcommittees brainstorming process –

among many other issues.
