STI Terrazzo Plus – Terrazzo Polishing Pads

STI Terrazzo+ Pads are the longest-lasting, fastest-cutting resin polishing pad STI offers — packed with 70% more diamond than the old Terrazzo pad and high-pressure molded for serious coverage. They cost a little more per pad, but they last longer and cover more square footage, so your cost per square foot is actually lower. As the patent holder — and members of the National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association (NTMA) — Substrate Technology is the genuine source for STI Terrazzo Pads.

Why Terrazzo+ Is a Better Value

It’s not about the sticker price — it’s about cost per square foot:

• 70% more diamond and abrasives than the old Terrazzo pad (37 grams more)
• High-pressure molded — more diamond packed into the same 8mm thickness customers prefer
• Longest-lasting, fastest-cutting resin STI makes — about 15,000 SF per pad
• Lower cost per square foot — more coverage means you spend less over the life of the pad

Unique Features

• 8mm thickness — the thickness customers prefer
• Marking interlayer — the slurry changes color when the pad is consumed, so you know exactly when to swap it
• Self-opening profile — keeps cutting consistently
• Cloth tab — makes the pad easy to pull off the velcro holder

What They’re For

• Polishing terrazzo and stone to a high-gloss finish
• High-production terrazzo work where pad life and speed matter
• Getting the most coverage per pad

Terrazzo+ vs. Terrazzo Pads vs. REDZ

STI offers three terrazzo pads — pick by the job:

• Terrazzo+ — premium, longest-lasting, fastest-cutting; best cost per SF; marking interlayer tells you when it’s spent
• STI Terrazzo Pads — versatile: first cut, closing, and restoration first step
• Terrazzo REDZ — closing/polishing steps; no center hole

Not sure which fits your job? Call and we’ll match the pad to your work.

Unique Features of the Terrazzo+ Polishing Pad:

• Has a “Self Opening Profile”
• Unique “Marking Interlayer” – changes the color of the slurry as pad is being consumed and lets operator know that pad needs to be changed
• Cloth Tab – makes it extremely easy to remove the tool from the velcro holder
• 3-inch diameter
• 8mm thickness

Where STI Terrazzo Pads Fit in the Process

Whether you’re installing new terrazzo or restoring an old floor, STI Terrazzo Pads handle the key cutting and polishing steps:

New epoxy or portland terrazzo:

1. First cut with STI Terrazzo Pads to flatten and expose the aggregate
2. Work through the grits (35 → 400) to refine
3. Close and polish with finer pads or Terrazzo REDZ

Restoring worn terrazzo:

1. Start with STI Terrazzo Pads as the first restoration step to cut through wear and damage
2. Progress through the grits to bring back clarity and shine

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Terrazzo+ pads cost more? They cost more per pad but last longer and cover more area — so your cost per square foot is actually lower.

How do I know when to replace one? The marking interlayer changes the slurry color when the pad is consumed.

What thickness? 8mm — the same as before, just packed with more diamond.
