Terrazzo Polishing in Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale, FL
No More Stripping and Waxing Terrazzo
Stop stripping and waxing terrazzo floors over and over again. There is a better way! Terrazzo is a beautiful, resilient, low-maintenance flooring option, only people generally don’t realize this because terrazzo is so often subject to improper cleaning and care. Terrazzo is commonly waxed to achieve a shine, which can be problematic because waxes yellow and have a tendency to collect dirt and become scuffed and scratched. In an attempt to improve the appearance of the floor, people then strip and re-wax the terrazzo. It looks decent for a little while, but then the whole process starts over again. Waxing and stripping, waxing and stripping, ad nauseam, ad infinitum. This cycle is costly and time-consuming. Fortunately, there is a better way—professional terrazzo polishing.
Terrazzo is a unique stone finish that usually contains marble chips of different sizes and colors and it is held together with a cement base or in newer application held together with a resin or epoxy base. It can be restored using the same process that is used in restoring marble and granite. Most terrazzo is coated with a wax and the waxes have a tendency to collect dirt and to yellow, which will require stripping and re-waxing.
Terrazzo can be polished using a natural polishing process that eliminates the need to strip off the old wax finishes and can actually reduce the maintenance cost. When terrazzo is finished naturally you can achieve a gloss or matte finish. Marble Plus Floor Care can restore, re-polish and repair your terrazzo floors, walls or counters.
