Terrazzo Floor Polishing, Cleaning and Restoration | Salt Lake CIty
Terrazzo Care and Maintenance Services
Terrazzo care and maintenance techniques vary, depending on its composition, placement, and your requirements. Our terrazzo services include deep cleaning, honing and polishing, stain removal, minor chip and crack repair, sealing and protecting, and more.
First, Let’s Stop the Expensive Cycle of Stripping and Waxing!
To make terrazzo shine, it is commonly coated with a wax. The problem is, waxed surfaces collect dirt, fade, yellow over time and will require a perpetual —and costly—cycle of stripping and re-waxing.
We offer solutions that break the cycle of stripping and waxing, saving you thousands in annual maintenance costs, while achieving better results.
Deep Cleaning
Sometimes terrazzo doesn’t need major work, it just needs some quality, professional attention. We can examine your floor to determine the best way to give your terrazzo the exact results you want.
Our professional technicians use only the best and most appropriate cleaning solutions, technologies, and methods to extract dirt and grime. Your terrazzo floors will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
Terrazzo Stain Removal
Many stains can be removed from terrazzo with the appropriate do-it-yourself methods. We gladly provide stain removal information in our free, Stain App and downloadable Care Guide, and in our Tips and Articles, or you may contact us with specific questions.
However, many stains require professional attention, and improper stain removal methods can cause further damage. If your terrazzo floors are stained, we can probably help. Our highly skilled technicians have years of experience dealing with stains and are up to date on the latest, most effective stain removal methods
Terrazzo Honing and Polishing
Our professional technicians are trained in the most effective terrazzo honing and polishing techniques. We begin by grinding away a very thin layer from the surface, essentially erasing almost any type of damage.
From there, we polish to the desired look — from a soft, satin-like honed finish to a highly reflective, glossy polished finish.
With traffic and usage, terrazzo can get etched, scuffed, scratched, or otherwise damaged, resulting in an overall dull, dirty-looking appearance. In addition, improper cleaning methods can diminish the appearance of terrazzo. Perhaps you have a polished terrazzo floor, but you prefer the softer, more subdued patina of a honed finish, or vice versa.
Stone and Surface Specialists can change the finish of your terrazzo. We can adjust the level of polish, giving your floor the custom appearance you have in mind.
Sealing and Protecting Terrazzo
Terrazzo is porous. Unsealed terrazzo can be susceptible to staining if certain spills or soiling material penetrate beneath the surface and go into the tiny pores. You may wish to have your terrazzo sealed to help protect against staining. We can provide this service for you. Sealing is not the same as applying a coating.
A sealer guards against staining by filling the pores of both aggregate and binder so it becomes more difficult for staining agents to absorb into the terrazzo surface.
