Tampa Terrazzo Restoration 813-527-9797

Terrazzo Modern House Just an update on our new full time adventure doing terrazzo restoration in the Tampa Staint Petersburg, Clearwater  area.  We are starting a project for a mid century modern house. In this case, the terrazzo floors were covered with tile.  The guys outsourced the tile removal and when the thin set was totaly removed they decovered that there were about 80 holes along each wall.  At first they thought theproject was impossible, then they found our site and read about how we find filling in holes with the proper terrazzo chips an exciting challenge. Once we arrived at the house we too saw the holes, it was clear to us that there was a series of three tack strips that were probably installed over the last 50 years.  We figured that out based on the fact that the holes were 4″ apart. Well I have to say this terrazzo restoration job was a real challenge, it took us a day longer to do the job then expected, but we got it done.  Of course they...

Granite : Pre-fab?

07.07.2011 Granite : Pre-fab?
Posted by admin in marble polishing  Comments Off

Granite is one of the best choices for homeowners to adorn their homes with, especially in their bathrooms, patios, and/or kitchens. The most common use for granite is the kitchen countertop. Sturdy, Tough, and easy to maintain; granite is an ideal material for the kitchen. But a pure granite slab can cost much, and more often nowadays, homeowners are on a tight budget. However, there is a cheaper option to pure granite slabs. Pre-fabricated granite, or pre-fab granite, is a low cost alternative to granite slabs.

It’s already pre-cut to specific countertop sizes and forms, so it works well for stock vanity bases, and galley kitchens. The edges on pre-fab granite are already finished, giving the homeowner less time installing, and more time enjoying the countertop.

However, be extra vigilant of pre-fabricated granite from China. Some pre-fab granite from China can have substandard polymer finishes or manipulated or doctored colors.

Polishing Marble Miami

Many owners of marble floors, countertops or showers believe that the lost shine of marble can be brought back by cleaning it properly. However, marble cleaning only cleans the surface of the marble to make it cleaner. To get back the shine, you need to do marble polishing, also called marble restoration or refinishing. First in the process is honing, which involves grinding the marble to get rid of scratches and stains. Then, the surface has to be polished. The process of marble polishing involves abrasion cleaning and not wax cleaning. Finally, once the polishing is over, your marble tiles will regain their shine. For more on marble polishing.

If you find that the marble surface you cleaned a few days ago has discolored, you could try this to get back the shine. First, check to see whether the discoloration is rough and dull. Then check all the grout and caulk lines to check for any water seepage. The discoloration might be a form of efflorescence. While not very usual, it is a possibility.

Allow the floor to dry for a few weeks. After it dries completely, use a mildew stain remover for natural stone products. Scrub the surface with it thoroughly. If some discoloration persists, poultice it with the same mildew stain remover. Then, figure out how the water got under the tiles and solve that issue. www.colonialfloorandstonecare.com could provide further assistance.
