Terrazzo

Terrazzo cleaning and sealing

Terrazzo is a unique and elegant flooring option, made from a blend of materials such as marble, glass, quartz or granite chips set in concrete or epoxy. Known for its durability and stylish appearance, terrazzo is commonly found in high-traffic areas. However, proper care is essential to maintain its shine and prevent damage.

At Hamilton’s, we specialise in the professional cleaning, polishing, and sealing of terrazzo floors, ensuring their beauty and longevity are preserved for years to come.

Why clean and seal terrazzo?

If you’ve been wondering, “How do I clean my terrazzo floor?”, the answer lies in understanding the material’s composition. Although terrazzo has a smooth, polished finish, it can be porous, particularly in its concrete base. Without sealing, moisture and stains can penetrate the surface, leading to discolouration and damage.

Terrazzo floors, especially those containing marble chips, are also sensitive to acidic cleaners, which can cause etching and dull the surface. Professional cleaning with pH-neutral products is essential to avoid damaging the terrazzo’s polished look and to ensure proper care.

Polishing a terrazzo floor

Polishing is often necessary for terrazzo floors, especially if etching, dullness, or surface wear has occurred due to exposure to harsh substances. Regular polishing restores the terrazzo’s smooth finish and enhances its reflective properties, keeping it looking pristine and elegant.
