Projects

Polish and restore your  Terrazzo to its original shine

Few Things are more authentic old Florida than a beautiful terrazzo floor.  So many of these floors have been covered up under false wood or carpet, those that are still exposed tend to have lost their luster, and feel “old”.   How grand to restore these to their rightful place of shiny and Florida cool luster!

Most people know the Terrazzo is made of Marble ships in cement or some form of epoxy.  What most people don’t realize is that the care for marble and the care for Terrazzo require very different procedures.  To fully restore your Terrazzo floors to a state of “WOW”, rely on someone that truly knows the different ways of working with stone and epoxies.  This becomes particularly important if, like so many people, you are bringing back original old Florida Terrazzo, and dealing with carpet tacks and nail holes needing filler.

Terrazzo Floor Polishing

Our flooring engineers absolutely understand the revitalization of Travertine has to take the hardness of the stone into account, to ensure that your floors shine brilliantly.

Some Stats

Everyone’s stone floor is as unique as the person that chose the floor in the first place. Your floors, counters, walls, deserve someone’s attention that has “been there” and “done that”. We’ll treat each floor with the respect it deserves, especially when it comes to clean up, and protecting the environment that the stone lives in. With the investment you have in your floors, you’d never settle for someone’s first time out, and we would never give you anything but our best.

Terrazzo Restoration

For as far back as the Golden Age of Rome, people have been using terrazzo as a flooring material because of its durability and charm.  This mosaic of marble is a favorite for warm climate homes like here in the Greater Tampa Bay Area.  Terrazzo lends a cool finish, commercial buildings that endure a lot of foot traffic, as well as museums and historical buildings that prefer it’s economical beauty.

It is because of the very ease of care that terrazzo offers over the long run, that this flooring material is left to dull and lose its glass-like sheen and luster.

Terrazzo needs only infrequent, but intensive, maintenance and refinishing to give a lifetime of beautiful flooring.

Terrazzo is made from small pieces or marble mixed with cement.  The surface layer of a terrazzo floor has extra marble chips that have been added during the installation process to cover nearly 70% of the exposed area, which gives it it’s elegant finish.

How to maintain Terrazzo

A terrazzo floor is mostly marble.  Terrazzo requires polishing to maintain it’s beauty and shine.  The cement that the marble is suspended in is porous and must be sealed to prevent staining.

If you have found that your terrazzo floor is lifeless, call the Floor Cleaning Experts.  We successfully polish and restore terrazzo floors.  Our marble experts can patch and repair terrazzo that has been covered by wall to wall carpeting, or damaged from daily wear and tear.

The Floor Cleaning Experts specializes in floor restoration, crack repair, polishing/vitrification.
