Benefits of Restoring Terrazzo Instead of Covering It:
1. Cost Savings (Long-Term):
◦ Restoring is often cheaper than full removal and replacement with new flooring.
◦ Terrazzo lasts decades (sometimes over 75 years!), so the investment in restoration pays off over time.
2. Preservation of Historic/Architectural Value:
◦ Many mid-century or historic buildings feature terrazzo that adds significant aesthetic and historical value.
◦ Restoring maintains the original character of the space.
3. Eco-Friendly Choice:
◦ Avoids the waste and environmental impact of tearing out old flooring and installing new materials.
4. Durability & Longevity:
◦ Once restored, terrazzo is incredibly durable and resistant to wear, moisture, and heavy foot traffic.
◦ New floors like vinyl, laminate, or carpet generally have shorter lifespans and may need replacement sooner.
5. Low Maintenance:
◦ After polishing and sealing, terrazzo is easy to clean and maintain.
◦ No need for waxing or heavy chemicals — just routine cleaning.
6. Unique Aesthetic:
◦ Restored terrazzo has a timeless, distinctive look.
◦ No two terrazzo floors are exactly alike — the aggregate mix creates a custom appearance.
7. Increased Property Value:
◦ Restored original terrazzo can be a selling point in both residential and commercial properties.
What Restoration Typically Involves:
◦ Deep cleaning to remove old wax, grime, or carpet glue.
◦ Grinding or honeing to remove a thin surface layer to reveal fresh terrazzo.
◦ Filling cracks or holes with matching materials.
◦ Polishing to bring out the shine and color of the aggregates.
◦ Sealing to protect the surface from stains and moisture.
