Terrazzo floor refinish

Description: Terrazzo floor refinish

This London-area gallery documents refinishing a terrazzo floor. The photographs show cleaning and surface work in an institutional interior, including views of the floor after treatment. Terrazzo’s aggregate pattern and existing binder influence how its surface can be refreshed, and the condition of joints or older repairs matters as much as the desired sheen.

Cleaning removes surface deposits so that wear and staining can be evaluated. Further polishing or local repair should be chosen after inspecting the actual floor; a deep crack cannot be corrected by surface shine alone. The case record does not specify an exact grinding depth, coating or final gloss measurement. The images therefore show the appearance of this assignment rather than a promise to make every old terrazzo floor look new. For another site, document damaged areas, traffic levels and the intended finish before planning work.
