Terrazzo Floors: Care and Maintenance
While immensely popular, terrazzo floors are often thought of as “hard” surfaces, it is agglomerate flooring, which means it comprises different materials with different qualities. Terrazzo is made of granite, glass, marble, quartz, or other suitable chips, which are then poured with a binder that can be epoxy, acrylic, or cementations, or a combination of. To create the smooth surface terrazzo tiles known, the flooring materials are cured, grounded, and polished until a uniformly textured surface throughout the stone is achieved.
This is how terrazzo flooring is created. When it comes to installation, there are divider strips that serve as panels for terrazzo floors. These strips are made of alloy, brass, wood, or zinc. After the terrazzo floors are poured into the strips, it is then ground using diamond or stone abrasives.
Afterward, it is grouted, polished, and sealed. Now we come to the care and maintenance of this famous flooring material. As mentioned above, terrazzo is made of natural stone, which makes it very porous. While the surface may be hard enough to withstand heavy foot traffic, it does need protection from stains and absorption. This protection is applied after the honing process. A water-based or solvent-based impregnator is frequently used on terrazzo floors care, absorbed, and sealed into the material.

Terrazzo Tile Floor Care Services
Terrazzo Floor Polishing should be cleaned with a chemical cleaner and degreaser before sealing to ensure that the tiles are in pristine condition that will last through the years. Upon filling, the floors should only be cleaned with a neutral pH cleaner; all-purpose cleansers that contain crystallizing salts, alkali, or acids should be avoided, as well as those cleaners that are inorganic and water-soluble.
When it comes to water pressure, never clean terrazzo tiles at pressures above 800 PSI. If you are to use water pressure, remember to do so only when the grout and divider strips are in good condition, and there is no danger that the terrazzo floors will approve moisture.
Moisture is your greatest enemy when it comes to cleaning terrazzo. The material is very porous, easily stained, and can easily be etched by acids. For instance, spilled carbonated beverages and fruit juices can quickly leave marks on your otherwise flawless flooring.
To evade doing so, immediately wipe the acid spill with a wet cloth. If unfortunately, the material is etched, then you may need to have the surface re-polished. You need to know that you can use a clean, non-treated dry dust mop to clean your indoor floors. You should not use sweeping compounds that contain oil as these will penetrate your terrazzo floors and permanently discolor them. These compounds also include sand, which will damage the material and be a pain to sweep.I am text block. Click edit button to change this text.
