• 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.
