Nothing is as beautiful as Terrazzo floors.  This kind of flooring adds a touch of elegance in any space because of the extraordinary effect of the marble chips incorporated into cement.  Unfortunately, the beauty of Terrazzo flooring diminishes over time due to heavy foot traffic.  The abrasive particles carried by footwear can scratch and damage the floor, and Terrazzo Restoration would be needed to make the floor as beautiful as it once was.

When it comes to Terrazzo Restoration, it is best to hire the services of a professional contractor.  Only a professional can properly undertake any restoration project regarding Terrazzo flooring.  The use of commercial restoration products may do more harm than good, resulting in extensive damage that would be more difficult to undo.  Thus, homeowners should find a reputable Terrazzo Restoration contractor.  Finding the right one may be challenging, but it will be worth it in the end.

Recently I was on vacation traveling the orient. When I went into Hong Kong’s MRT (Mass Rapid Transportation System)  I was amazed to see the use of terrazzo tile. As you may notice from the photo that the station was very clean and I believe they choose terrazzo to execute the vision of freshness, similar to why Thailand’s new international airport choose to use exposed concrete and terrazzo flooring. Of course terrazzo is the easiest floor system to maintain, proven statistics prove that. Initially it is the most expensive flooring system to install but to maintain in a life cycle it the cheapest. Plus terrazzo lasts for ever! Go to Venice Italy or Pompeii Italy and see for yourself.

Do we hire the person with the lowest price for a service or item, or do we take that chance that this price will be reflect in the quality of the workmanship which we expect? In this economy it is hard to make these types of choices. There are many people selling their products or services that “talk the talk” but do not “walk the walk” when it comes to quality. Especially when it comes to Terrazzo flooring.

Watching the Today Show this morning I saw that Miami is one of the top 10 cities to buy housing at a bargain price and where job growth is on the up-rise.

I said to myself “way to go Miami”. So with so many home for sale at bargain prices, a great percentage of these being Mid Modern homes built in the 50′s and 60′s will probably have Terrazzo. Many may be covered up with carpet or tile, which was the thing to do in the 70′s. Many homeowners are now discovering the timeless beauty, durablity of Terrazzo. Many ask their real estate agents to look for homes with these type of floors.

I flew this year to vacation for the Holidays and went through 3 different airports. I must say they all have done really well trying to make the passenger as comfortable as can be. I was most impressed with 2 different airports. Ft. Lauderdale, which has beautiful Terrazzo work in it. Shining and clean with sea life mosaics put into the work. Yes a work of art no doubt.
