Terrazzo is a type of agglomerate flooring and should be treated as marble in a Granite Heroes maintenance program. Terrazzo is a composite material poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and all treatments. It consists of marble, quartz, granite, glass or other suitable chips, and chemical such as epoxy or acrylic or a combination of both. Terrazzo is cured, ground and polished to a smooth surface or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface. Natural stone is very porous.
Terrazzo can be polished using a natural polishing process that eliminates the need to strip off the old wax finishes and can actually reduce the maintenance cost. When terrazzo is finished naturally you can achieve a gloss or matte finish. Granite Heroes best way to prevent stains is to treat the surface with a protective sealer. The sealer fills in the pores and repels spills on the surface, allowing you time to completely wipe it away. Terrazzo is porous, and easily stained and is etched by acids. Fruit juice, carbonated beverages, toilet bowl cleaners, urine or other acids will etch if allowed to remain on terrazzo.
Wipe up acid spill immediately, and wipe surface with wet cloth. If surfaced is etched, polishing may be required. Rogers Park (Loyola, Rogers Park). West Ridge (Nortown, Peterson Park, Rosehill, West Ridge, West Rogers Park).
