Terrazzo Floor Care
Terrazzo
floor care is not much different than cleaning a marble floor. In fact,
cleaning terrazzo floors should follow the same procedures as cleaning
any calcium based floor tile.
Terrazzo
floors are made from marble chips in a Portland cement and are in either
tile form as seen below or poured-in-place. There are also terrazzo
floors that are in an epoxy matrix (e.g. airports) that are also poured-in-place.
The presence of marble in a terrazzo floor, should alert you to treating terrazzo as it were a marble floor. This means, no acidic cleaning solutions should be used when cleaning terrazzo floors!
We always recommend to our customers when caring for terrazzo floors or any calcium based stone, to use a neutral cleaner.
Neutral cleaners that are safe for natural stone won't etch your terrazzo floor
or break down any sealers that are present in your terrazzo.
One important aspect of terrazzo floor care is terrazzo restoration.
This is the process of restoring terrazzo to a polished finish without
the use of topical coatings like wax or polyurethanes.
If your terrazzo flooring is looking a little dull,
it may be time for a terrazzo restoration. If done correctly, it will
be honed and polished with diamond encrusted pads, very much like
marble is restored.
After cleaning your terrazzo flooring or restoring your terrazzo
flooring, it should always be sealed with an impregnating sealer.
Sealing terrazzo or natural stone helps protect the marble and the more porous cement from
staining.
When it comes to terrazzo floor care or maintaining
natural
stone, we strive to help educate our customers on the best protection
they can have, helping them save time and money in costly restoration
costs down the road.
