Soap and detergents can dull the terrazzo floor’s shine and actually attract dirt because of the residue they leave behind.

Many people, especially those new to South Florida, aren’t exactly sure what terrazzo is. According to The National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association, the word terrazzo is derived from the italian “terrace” or “terrazza” and was defined over the centuries as “a form of mosaic flooring made by embedding small pieces of marble in mortar, and then polishing”.

Today, the NTMA defines this traditional material as follows: “Terrazzo consists of marble, granite, onyx or glass chips in portland cement or resinous material. The terrazzo is poured, cured, ground and polished. ”

According to Marble Masters UK, Terrazzo has been used as a flooring product since Roman tomes. Today it enjoys an enviable reputation as an attractive hard flooring that delivers an appealing combination of durability, ease of maintenance, beauty and performance.

Terrazzo is an amazingly “green” product. It is environmentally safe to install or restore (if green , chemical- free methods are used by experts such as Colonial Floor Care). It is also easy to maintain and very hygenic. It does not harbor dust mites or mold, and helps keep Florida homes cool.

The unsightly patterns left behind by the old tiles are called “ghosting”. When severe ghosting occurs, we recommend a process different than our usual restoration process.

In these cases, we recommend covering the damaged floor with a custom tinted sealer. This sealer is a color matched meticulously to the chips in the existing, salvagable terrazzo flooring. The result is a highly attractive, uniform color that matches the original terrazzo floor. This color tinted sealer is also highly durable.

Call Colonial Floor Care for more information or to ask for an estimate.

If your terrazzo floor is severely stained, we may be able to help!

At Colonial Floor Care, we know about concrete garage floor restoration.Many companies offer epoxy sealers as an answer to restoring your concrete garage floor. While these sealers may sound like a good idea, there are many problems associated with them. They are highly toxic to manufacture, apply and didspose of. Great care must be taken to smooth the surface of your concrete before applying the epoxy. Also, all oils and stains must be removed from the concrete if the epoxy is to seal effectively. Colonial Floor Care offers a much more effective and environmentally friendly way to make your concrete garage floor beutiful and durable. We employ a multi-stage polishing process, using the highest quality polishing tools to bring your floor to a beautiful and durable lustre. Best of all, we use NO chemicals. Our method is completely “green”. Give us a call at 954-566-4555, or visit our website to learn more or set up an estimate.
