One of the most frequent problems of people looking after Terrazzo Marble Tiles for their flooring is maintenance and restoration. The most immediate and common solution would be to resort to polishing methods, hoping these efforts would be enough to restore Terrazzo Tiles to its original state.
Some of these polishing methods include
- Using a floor polishing machine hired from a local shop
- Buffing manually with lambswool
- Using harsher materials like polishing liquids and steel wool pads
- Covering the floor with a chemical coating
Usually, Terrazzo Marble tiles require maintenance polishing systems or professional restoration. Either way, these methods are critical for long-term up-keeping of the material. Not doing these methods will cost more in the future, wasting a good material that could be used and maintained through several generations of the structure. The idea is that one should not wait until the flooring requires professional restoration because that will cost a lot of money. Professional restoration will be a rare event (and a rare expense) only if the floor is constantly maintained.
When polishing Terrazzo Marble Tiles do not work, there are usually key points to check and calibrate for your efforts to work:
1. Check machine speed and weight:
One factor to consider if you decide to use a floor polishing machine is the speed and weight of the machine against the floor. Ideally, the machine should be a single disc polishing machine which runs on less than 200 rpm. Achieving similar great results is possible with lighter machines but there may be more time spent vs. using heavier machines which implement the right pressure onto the floor.
2.Select different polishing powders and liquids to check which can be more effective
They may seem too “similar” and selecting either one may not have any impact on your polishing efforts. But the truth is that some polishing liquids and powders may have stronger or more fitting components for your type of Terrazzo Tiles, or the length of time you did not polish them.
3. Assess if it needs professional restoration
Sometimes, no matter how hard one tries to polish terrazzo marble tiles, it seems impossible to get it back to its original glory. Assess whether or not the tiles are in really poor condition that you’d need to seek professional support for restoration. Companies like Terrazzo Australian Marble can provide further support for these requirements.
