Terrazzo Floor Cleaning, Polishing & Impregnating Seal – Durham

Professional Terrazzo Floor Restoration in Durham

We recently completed a professional Terrazzo floor cleaning, polishing and impregnating seal for a property in Durham.

The Terrazzo floor had become dull and was showing the effects of everyday foot traffic, dirt and wear. Our aim was to thoroughly clean the surface, restore its appearance and provide long-term protection while maintaining the natural character of the Terrazzo.

Terrazzo is a hard-wearing flooring material, but like other natural and composite stone surfaces, it can lose its appearance over time without the correct cleaning and maintenance.

Our specialist stone floor restoration process was used to bring the floor back to a cleaner, brighter and more refined condition.

The Terrazzo Floor Before Restoration

Before work began, the floor required a thorough professional clean to remove accumulated dirt and residues from the surface.

Simply mopping or using a standard domestic floor cleaner would not provide the level of cleaning required.

We assessed the condition of the Terrazzo and selected a cleaning and polishing system appropriate for the floor.

Deep Cleaning the Terrazzo

The first stage was a thorough deep clean to remove ingrained dirt and surface contamination.

The floor was treated using professional stone-safe cleaning products and mechanical agitation to work into the surface and joints.

This removed accumulated dirt that had built up through everyday use and prepared the Terrazzo for the polishing stage.

​

Terrazzo Floor Polishing

Once the floor had been thoroughly cleaned, we moved on to the polishing process.

Professional polishing pads were used to refine the surface and improve the appearance of the Terrazzo.

Polishing helps restore the clarity and appearance of the aggregate within Terrazzo while producing a cleaner, more uniform finish.

The level of polishing required depends on the condition of the existing floor and the finish the customer wants to achieve.

​

Impregnating Sealer Applied

After cleaning and polishing, the Terrazzo was treated with an impregnating sealer.

Unlike a topical coating that sits on the surface, an impregnating sealer penetrates into the porous areas of the material to provide protection while allowing the floor to retain its natural appearance.

The sealer helps reduce the absorption of staining substances and makes the floor easier to maintain.

​

The Finished Terrazzo Floor

The completed floor had a significantly cleaner and more refined appearance following the restoration process.

The combination of professional cleaning, polishing and impregnating protection restored the appearance of the Terrazzo while providing a protective finish for continued everyday use.

Looking After a Terrazzo Floor

Professional restoration can significantly improve the appearance of a Terrazzo floor, but correct ongoing maintenance is important.

A professionally sealed Terrazzo floor should also be maintained with appropriate cleaning methods to help preserve its appearance and protection.
