Terrazzo Repair FAQs
Can you epoxy over terrazzo?
Yes, epoxy terrazzo can be applied over existing terrazzo systems. This is advantageous for renovation projects or instances where a change in the flooring system is desired.
Before the application of epoxy terrazzo, it is crucial to ensure that the existing surface is thoroughly cleaned, and moisture levels are checked. This process prepares the foundation for the new epoxy terrazzo application, promoting adhesion and a successful installation.
How do you fill gaps in terrazzo?
Filling gaps in terrazzo involves a similar process to repairing holes. The cause of the gaps should be identified, and the appropriate binder, typically epoxy resin, should be chosen. The repair mixture is prepared with suitable aggregates and binders, ensuring the right consistency.
Once gaps are filled with epoxy, curing, grinding, and polishing are essential steps to achieve a uniform surface that seamlessly blends with the rest of the terrazzo floor.
Can terrazzo be restored?
Terrazzo can indeed be restored through a careful and systematic process. The restoration typically involves removing debris and substances, repairing any holes or cracks, and polishing the surface to its former shine.
The steps include investigating the cause of any issues, selecting the appropriate binder and aggregates for repairs, and allowing sufficient curing time before grinding and polishing. Professional assistance is recommended for more complex repairs, ensuring a thorough and effective restoration process.
