Terrazzo is a durable composite surface created by embedding natural stone aggregates into a cementitious or epoxy binder. It is commonly used in residential, commercial, and institutional settings due to its longevity, design flexibility, and seamless appearance.
At NYC Marble Care, we provide professional terrazzo restoration, repair, polishing, and sealing services throughout New York City and surrounding areas. When properly restored and maintained, terrazzo floors can last for decades while retaining a clean, polished appearance.
Although terrazzo is extremely durable, older installations often require professional restoration to return them to their original condition. Over time, terrazzo surfaces may develop:
These issues typically require diamond grinding and polishing to re-level the surface and restore clarity. Any voids or pits are filled prior to refinishing to ensure a smooth, uniform result.
Terrazzo is an excellent candidate for restoration because of its structural strength and aesthetic potential. Since most terrazzo contains natural stone aggregates, often marble, it can be polished to a high gloss finish. Once restored, the surface is sealed with a penetrating sealer to help protect against staining and discoloration.
The restoration process not only improves appearance but also extends the life of the floor, making terrazzo a cost-effective surface to maintain over the long term.
After restoration, terrazzo floors are relatively easy to maintain. Routine care typically includes dry dust mopping and damp mopping with a stone safe cleaner. In commercial environments, terrazzo is often maintained using scrubber-drying equipment as part of a scheduled maintenance program.
It is important to note that because terrazzo frequently contains calcite based aggregates such as marble, it can be susceptible to etching. Acidic spills should be cleaned promptly to prevent surface damage and loss of shine.
If your terrazzo floor appears dull, damaged, or has not been sealed in many years, NYC Marble Care can help restore it properly. Our technicians have the experience, equipment, and materials required to deliver professional results for terrazzo surfaces of all sizes.
We do not consider a project complete until the results meet our professional standards and your expectations.
