Terrazzo Polishing and Repair

 

Sometimes normal cleaning is not enough, if there is excessive dirt, layers of coatings, severe scratches, or if the floor has severe wear, the surface may be have to be cleaned using fine grit grinding and resurfacing screens. This method will remove a thin layer of the terrazzo surface and should only be used when other methods won't get the job done.. This form of terrazzo repair must be performed by an experienced professional... Call Us!

For resin epoxy, coarse diamonds are used to grind the imperfections down, and are used to remove a thin layer of the surface, often down to the aggregate. Coarse diamond laden pads are used until all necessary material is removed from the surface. The diamond grinding will often leave marks and scratches on the floor which can be removed with finer grinding or polishing. Most epoxy terrazzo requires grouting to fill pin-holes. A special thin version of the resin is used for this. After the required drying time, excess grout material is removed by additional light grinding. At this point a sealer may be applied.

Cementious systems require large three-phase grinders. Working from a course disk to remove imperfections and damage down to a medium grit to smooth the finish. A sealer is often applied prior to final polishing.

As experienced contractors, we know that diamond polishing success will depend on how well the initial floor was installed. Often before the diamond polishing prices are finalized, there may be a need to consider the amount of additional grinding required to get satisfactory results. Any small lips and imperfections can adversely affect the end result of the diamond polishing stage. Diamond polishers can now be utilized to apply a distinct and highly reflective shine to the terrazzo, using special diamonds. Inside corners, edges and inaccessible areas are hand polished.

Testimonials

I wanted to thank you for the restoration work you and your crew completed in our building. The marble entries and bathrooms look wonderful! All of us have been thrilled with the results of your work, even agreeing the stone looks better now than when it was installed. Angelo and Sergio were pleasures to work with day in and day out. They were proud to show our staff their procedures to polish the marble. I hope they enjoyed their time here, as it was quite a chore to get through all 158 rooms. It is always exciting to find another organization that recognizes the importance of excellence. We are glad to have started a relationship with Marble Doctors, and look forward to more projects and shiny marble!"
