As a beautiful and durable floor material, terrazzo is widely used in homes and commercial places. However, during use, terrazzo may crack or discolor, which not only affects the appearance of the floor, but may also have a negative impact on the overall use effect. So, when we encounter these problems, how should we deal with them?
- Treatment of terrazzo cracking
Terrazzo cracking may be caused by unstable foundation ground, improper construction or long-term excessive pressure. For minor cracking, we can take the following measures to deal with it:
Cleaning cracks: First, use professional tools to clean the cracks and ensure that there is no dust and debris in the cracks to ensure the firmness of the repair material.
Filling cracks: Choose a repair material similar to the color of terrazzo, such as epoxy resin or cement-based repair agent, and fill it evenly into the cracks, making sure it is filled and slightly higher than the ground for subsequent grinding.
Grinding and polishing: After the repair material is completely dry, use a grinder and polisher to grind and polish the repair area to make it level with the surrounding ground and restore the gloss of the terrazzo.
For severe cracking, it is recommended to ask professionals to evaluate and handle it. It may be necessary to re-lay the terrazzo or take other reinforcement measures.
- Treatment methods for terrazzo discoloration
Terrazzo discoloration may be caused by long-term exposure to sunlight, chemical corrosion or improper cleaning. For discoloration problems, we can take the following measures to deal with it:
Cleaning and maintenance: Regularly use a neutral detergent and a soft cloth to clean the terrazzo floor, and avoid using strong acid and alkali detergents to avoid corrosion to the floor. At the same time, keep the floor dry and avoid long-term water accumulation.
Re-grinding and polishing: For terrazzo floors that have discolored, their glossiness can be restored by re-grinding and polishing. Use professional grinders and polishers, with suitable abrasives and polishing agents, to deeply grind and polish the terrazzo floor to restore its original color and gloss.
Replace damaged areas: If the discoloration problem is serious and cannot be solved by grinding and polishing, you can consider replacing the terrazzo material in the damaged area to restore the overall aesthetics.
