Challenges of wear and contamination
Marble terrazzo is made of marble fragments combined with a cement or resin matrix, which gives it excellent compression and wear resistance. However, over time, especially in high-traffic areas, the surface of marble terrazzo may gradually show wear, scratches or stains. These wear and contamination not only affect the aesthetics of the material, but may also have a certain impact on its performance.
The need for refurbishment and re-polishing
For lightly worn or stained marble terrazzo, its luster and beauty can usually be restored through simple cleaning and maintenance. However, for heavily worn or deeply stained surfaces, refurbishment or re-polishing may be necessary. The refurbishment process involves removing dirt, scratches and wear layers from the surface, followed by re-polishing and polishing to restore the original luster and texture of the marble terrazzo. This process not only improves the beauty of the material, but also extends its life.
Renovation steps and precautions
The renovation of marble terrazzo usually includes the following steps:
·Cleaning the surface: Use a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove dirt and stains on the surface.
·Removing the wear layer: Use professional grinding equipment to remove the wear layer and scratches on the surface.
·Re-grinding and polishing: Use sandpaper or grinding wheels of different grits to gradually polish the surface until the desired gloss is achieved.
·Glazing or waxing: In order to protect the renovated surface, you can use glazing agent or floor wax for protective treatment.
When renovating, the following points should be noted:
·Choose appropriate grinding equipment and abrasives to avoid excessive damage to the marble terrazzo.
