TERRAZZO POLISHING AND MAINTENANCE

Are you a homeowner surprised to discover terrazzo hidden under carpet or some other surface? Or perhaps you’ve had terrazzo floors for years and years, and you don’t want to replace them, but you’re really annoyed with the amount of time and effort needed to keep them looking decent, not to mention the money you spend on expensive stripping, cleaning, and waxing products.

The experts at Before & After Stone Restoration can give you the terrazzo of your dreams — terrazzo restored to its Mid-Century Modern glory with a hard, glass-like finish that is oh-so-easy to maintain. And when we say easy, we mean it. No more stripping and waxing! Just a quick sweep and a damp mop.

TERRAZZO PROBLEMS

You are probably already aware that any flooring subject to high-traffic can quickly lose its appeal and become dull, scratched, and dirty-looking. Terrazzo is no exception.

Have you been advised to use coatings to achieve a beautiful shine? Unfortunately, shortcut restoration methods like these only last a short while, and ultimately end up doing more harm than good. Coatings easily become scratched and scuffed, and dirt, grime, and other contaminants become embedded in them, making the floor ugly and unsanitary. To keep the floor looking decent, coatings have to be completely removed and replaced as often as every three months. Sometimes the coatings are not completely removed, and with each passing strip-and-wax, the floor gets a new layer of yuck. The residual layers may also yellow over time, partially masking the terrazzo's original color and appeal. Our experienced team can rid you of all these icky layers of grime and achieve a finish you’ll love through processes similar to those used for natural stone restoration — no coatings required.

If your terrazzo was hidden under carpet or some other surface, it is likely damaged with holes from carpet tacks or nails, deep scratches, ugly stains, unsightly cracks and chips, and other damage. Don’t cover your terrazzo again. Let our highly trained technicians amaze you with their mad terrazzo skills.
