Terrazzo flooring is very easy to maintain and is one of the most durable flooring options available. However, even with care, there are times when your flooring may need the help of a Terrazzo polishing service. Sometimes, without realizing it, the way the homeowner or building cleaning service is caring for the floor may actually be contributing to its dull appearance.
The great news is that a professional company providing a Terrazzo polishing service can come to your home, business, or commercial building and give your floors back their natural glow and rich look. This can really create a like-new look for your flooring and brighten up the entire area.
Stains
While Terrazzo flooring is non-absorbent and therefore highly stain resistant, it is not stain proof under all conditions. When things are spilled on the flooring and are not quickly cleaned, the surface of the flooring may become discolored.
A Terrazzo polishing service will use a special polishing compound and specially calibrated buffers or grinders to remove the minimal surface to completely remove the stain. Then, after polishing the entire surface, the floor will look like new.
Discoloration
Many people have been using the wrong types of floor cleaners on their Terrazzo flooring for years. This has, over time, created a dull surface or perhaps even a yellow to amber color on lighter Terrazzo floors.
By hiring a professional Terrazzo polishing service, this discoloration can be quickly and easily removed, plus the company can provide you with information on the correct cleaning products to use in the future.
Heavy Traffic Areas
For heavy traffic areas, particularly in commercial or public buildings, grit on the bottom of shoes, dirt, mud, and even moisture can be tracked in across the Terrazzo flooring. Over time, these heavy traffic areas will have minor surface scratches that cause a dull look on the floor.
The Terrazzo polishing service you hire can treat these high traffic areas and then polish the entire floor to provide a uniformly polished and beautiful surface. They can also provide repairs to any deeper areas of damage to the flooring at the same time, ensuring the Terrazzo floor is well-maintained for a lifetime of use.
