Terrazzo Grinding, Polishing & Restoration
Terrazzo is a beautiful, durable floor — but it takes the right equipment and tooling to grind, polish, and restore it properly. Whether you’re polishing new epoxy terrazzo, restoring an aging terrazzo floor, or finishing the cove base, we carry the systems, pads, and diamond tooling built for terrazzo — and the expertise to guide you. Call and talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center.
Terrazzo is a composite material, poured in place used for flooring and wall treatments. It contains chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other material, that is sprinkled into a binder. Terrazzo is cured and then ground and polished to a beautilfully smooth surface.
Benefits?
Terrazzo can come in any color combination and the pattern designs are limited only by the imagination. With modern technology, terrazzo can now be integrated with fiber optic technology to provide a flooring work of art.
Durable?
Aside from periodic restoration of the wear surface area, terrazzo will last forever.
Restoration?
That’s what Substrate Technology and their distributors can do for you! Substrate Technology Inc. manufactures and supplies the world’s best diamonds for the restoration of terrazzo surfaces. With our products and knowledge, we can take an epoxy, carpet, or vinyl tile-covered terrazzo floor and bring it back to the beautiful, durable, and timeless floor system it was the day it was installed.
