Terrazzo floors are made up small marble chips set in a cement matrix and comes in a vareity of colors.

A diamond polished terrazzo floor should be maintained with a pH neutral marble cleaner and swept or vacuumed regularly.


We would also recommend periodically polishing a newly refinished terrazzo floor. We use polishing techniques that do not require stripping before polishing.

Any coating on the Terrazzo would mean the coating would need to be stripped before any polishing could be done, which could add to the cost.

Examples of coatings on Terrazzo floors are wax, crystallizer, and polyurethane sealers.

After all our refinishing/restoration or cleanings of Terrazzo floors, We use a penetrating sealer to help protect the Terrazzo floor from absorbing stains from spills.

The penetrating sealers we use allows the Terrazzo floor to breath and not be subject to yellowing or the plastic look that occurs once coatings begin to age.
