Bring back the beauty and safety of terrazzo floors
Terrazzo flooring is a popular flooring type for commercial space due to its durability, limitless design & environmentally friendly composition.
Terrazzo is made of chips of marble, glass, granite, and shells that are mixed in either epoxy resin or cement binder material to make up terrazzo. Poured-in-place epoxy terrazzo, which is easy to match with a commercial building’s colors, is very popular with Orlando businesses. Terrazzo offers a durable, anti-slip, antimicrobial surface. Alternatively, some businesses choose precast terrazzo, which is made in a factory and then shipped to the installation site. Some of the uses for precast terrazzo include staircases, curved surfaces, and sinks. Terrazzo is also available in a tile form for applications where poured-in-place flooring would not be ideal.
Although there are many advantages of Terrazzo flooring, there are some things to avoid:
If your commercial building’s terrazzo becomes dull and dirty, either from age, dirt, or built-up cleaning products, it’s time for some more serious terrazzo maintenance. The process involves grinding, polishing, and sealing with at least two coats of a commercial-grade water-based sealer. Terrazzo maintenance includes regular cleaning with appropriate materials and the application of specialty sealers from time to time. The sealers protect the aggregates within the binder and also enhance the shine of your terrazzo flooring. If you take good care of your terrazzo it can last for a lifetime and beyond!
Everyday maintenance of terrazzo floors involves simply sweeping up debris and dust from the surface. Don’t’ allow dust to accumulate because it becomes abrasive and can wear off the terrazzo over time. After sweeping, mop your Terrazzo flooring with a neutral cleaner, leave it on for a few minutes, and then rinse off the cleaning liquid with water to prevent a build-up of residue. Acid or bleach-based liquids can harm the sealing of your terrazzo flooring, so if these liquids are spilled on your terrazzo, make sure to dry them off quickly.
Floor Grinding
Initial layers are quickly & deeply stripped away & the newly excavated layer is then polished & smoothed.
Holes & Chips
Holes & chips are patched using a mixture that matches the floor's original coating & stones.
Final Polish
Acid powder is distributed across the floor, mixed with water & then polished by a specialized machine.
