Greatly Reduced Life Cycle Cost of Your Terrazzo Floor
New Mexico Patented Terrazzo Polishing Floor Restoration Process
Our patented Terrazzo method is an 8-10 step cleaning and restoration floor process that increases the abrasion and hardness of the terrazzo and makes the floor a very hard wearable surface that does not need to be recoated. It is LEED and CHPS certified and is all water base and safe.
Less Expensive to Repair and More Durable Than Older Polishing and Methods of Restoring Stone or Tile
The older, more costly cleaning, repair and restoration method was the standard in the industry for years – and is still utilized by many who restore Terrazzo. Similar to marble floor polishing, it required recoating the terrazzo periodically (every few months or years) depending on the foot traffic of the terrazzo.
What is Terrazzo Flooring? Is it Marble? Is it Granite?
Terrazzo is a floor material made from a mixture of marble dust, granite and cement which is then poured, usually by hand, in layers. In the 1800s marble floors were becoming more abundant around the world. It was discovered that marble dust mixed with cement provided an even application with less grout lines. It was also cheaper than tile or stone tiles.
This new floor product would become popular during the Italian Renaissance period where it remained popular into the twentieth century. The first installations of terrazzo flooring were in the late 1800s in New York City. In the 1950s terrazzos started to rise in popularity again with a resurgence of updated Italian designs. Today, terrazzo is still popular in Italy, France and South America, but is being used more commonly within the United States.
Why consider restoring with polishing?
Terrazzo floors can be polished to look different levels of glossiness. Polishing will bring out the colors within each marble. Terrazzo floors are commonly used in area restaurants and hotels due to their durability and modern design.
