Cities all around Florida such as Palm Beach Wilton Manors and Coral Gables have many homes and buildings with Terrazzo Restoration Services. This is because terrazzo was a very popular flooring option in the 1950s and 1960’s so a large percentage of homes and businesses had terrazzo floor installed to keep with the trend. As the years went by, terrazzo started falling out of style and people opted for more traditional and cheaper flooring. Terrazzo is making an amazing comeback, however, and more and more are starting to realize the potential in both the design and utility of the natural stone floor. Terrazzo is a very complex and difficult craft that requires many years of experience and training to get right. Combine that with terrazzo’s versatility in design and overall durability and it starts to get pretty clear why it is one of the pricier natural stone floors.
The good news is that if someone finds terrazzo underneath their flooring, paying such a large amount for terrazzo isn’t needed to reap its benefits. Terrazzo floor restoration services cost only a fraction of the cost of a full installation and in some cases can make it indistinguishable from one that is brand new. Terrazzo restoration is a skill that only gets better with time and with terrazzo being a multiple centuries-old craft, experts are very effective in vanishing most damages. From widespread scratches and stains to minor discoloration, terrazzo floor restoration experts are equipped with the knowledge and equipment to bring out the potential in any terrazzo. Many people, unfortunately, see a heavily dulled and damaged terrazzo floor and replace it with carpet or tile thinking it’s too late. The truth is no matter the condition, diamond bit grinders, stain removal treatments, resin and aggregate matching, and advanced sealers can make a dull and spotty terrazzo to a polished and consistent terrazzo full of color. Although every stain is different and no stain is assured to completely disappear, experts can match the most effective treatment for your type of stain to achieve the best results.
Whenever damages such as cracks or chips need to be cut and replaced, a professional will match the color and texture of the concrete or resin base and add matching aggregate chips for a smooth and seamless look. This creates a more consistent overall look to the terrazzo and virtually removes any visual history of repair by blending in seamlessly. Terrazzo that is beautifully restored can add so much to one’s home or business and provide an upgrade to the overall ambiance. Whether the damages are big or small, restoring terrazzo floor is always worth it because it holds that fresh and glowing look for a long time and provides such a positive and vibrant atmosphere. One shouldn’t be discouraged about the state of their terrazzo no matter how “far gone” it looks. With experienced terrazzo restoration services, the price to restore is evident when showcasing a vibrant and unique terrazzo floor that will keep its appeal for many years to come.
