This is a method of taking off uneven areas in your Terrazzo Top layer of your floor. Bringing a fresh layer to be cleaned When the repairs are complete, each is inspected for match. "Now we begin the refinishing process, grinding the floor with a diamond bonded disk. There are a series of finer and finer sanding disks to remove all scratches and complete the process. Then we move to “final polish” the terrazzo. We use a special powder and polisher that gives the floor a hard glass like finish on a bright floor. With today’s advancements, the floor is easy to maintain. Mop as necessary, using warm water and occasionally with a ‘neutral’ floor cleaner. That is all there is to it."

If Terrazzo is in need of repair, there is some cracking or chipping in the floor we can come in and fill the cracks or hole using our proven techniques at color matching of the base cement and the marble chips that may be missing or needed to be adding after the inital repair is done. The floor will then be polished using grinding method to the intended shine. Many homes in South Florida build prior to the 70's may have Terrazzo hiding under neath carpet or tile. These floors that we once loved but covered up can be stored to their origninal condition much of the time. Which will add value, durability and beauty to your home.

One of the flooring options that was used to "cover up" Terrazzo flooring in the 60's and 70's was installation of tile flooring.
