Understanding Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a versatile flooring material that dates back centuries, prized for its durability, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability. Composed of a mixture of marble, granite, quartz, or glass chips embedded in a cement or resin binder, terrazzo offers unparalleled versatility in design, allowing for endless customization options.

The Terrazzo Floor Polishing Process

• Assessment and Preparation:
  Before embarking on the polishing journey, our team conducts a thorough assessment of the terrazzo floor’s condition. We identify any cracks, chips, or stains that may require repair before polishing commences. Additionally, we ensure that the surface is free of debris, dust, and residue to facilitate a seamless polishing process.
• Grinding and Honing:
  The first step in terrazzo floor polishing is grinding and honing, where coarse diamond abrasives are used to remove surface imperfections and level the floor. This process not only smoothens the surface but also exposes the vibrant aggregate beneath, laying the foundation for a stunning finish.
• Polishing:
  Once the surface has been adequately honed, we progress to the polishing stage. Using progressively finer diamond abrasives, we meticulously polish the terrazzo surface to achieve the desired level of sheen. This step requires precision and expertise to ensure uniformity and consistency across the entire floor.

• Sealing and Protection:
  To enhance the longevity and resilience of the polished terrazzo floor, we apply a high-quality sealant. This protective coating acts as a barrier against stains, moisture, and wear, preserving the beauty of the floor for years to come. Additionally, the sealant enhances the reflective properties of the terrazzo, amplifying its visual allure.
• Finishing Touches:
  With the polishing process complete, our team conducts a final inspection to ensure that every detail meets our exacting standards. Any remaining imperfections are addressed, and the entire floor is meticulously cleaned and buffed to a brilliant shine. The result is a flawless, mirror-like finish that elevates the ambiance of any space.
