- Finish Line Floors has served: St. Petersburg, Clearwater and the Tampa Bay area since 1989. Learn it's history, how terrazzo is made, and the process of restoring old terrazzo. Terrazzo is a rough cut marble floor. In the past, wax and acrylic finish was used as a sealer and gloss. Stripping, sealing and waxing is still the preferred cleaning process for supper markets like Publics. Seldom will any scrubbing, cleaning and bleaching return residential terrazzo to it's original condition. Now, diamond abrasives are grinding, honing and polishing stone more efficiently than ever before and is why we see so much granite in our kitchens today. Diamond grinding has brought terrazzo to new levels of gloss for another generation. Terrazzo Floors Nothing makes as much difference in a home's appearance as a clean and newly refinished Terrazzo floor. Easily maintained and inexpensively refinished after years of use, Terrazzo is a floor built to last a lifetime. About Terrazzo originated and gets its name from the terraces of fifteenth century marble and mosaic workers, who were using leftover marble chips to create a natural and beautiful pavement. In 1931 the Terrazzo And Mosaic Association set the standards for the Terrazzo we find in our homes today. Two parts marble chips and one part Portland cement, Terrazzo is poured over the foundation before the interior walls are in place. After pouring and pressing with rollers, Terrazzo is ground to an 80 grit finish. Terrazzo is a continuous marble floor that is 5/8" thick and at least 70% marble on the surface. Unlike most floors, Terrazzo can be refinished to a higher gloss than it had originally 40 years ago. Applications of acrylic finishes have been the standard means of sealing and finishing Terrazzo. Recently, honing and polishing with diamond abrasives have established new levels of gloss that reveal the natural beauty of the stone, creating a polished marble floor. Preparations - Avoiding Dam

Provided by SuperpagesExcellent service and results! If you have a terrazzo floor and are thinking about covering it up, think again! The floor looks amazing after the restoration....first thing in the house everyone comments about (especially those who'd seen it before). They repaired one large concrete patch hole and you wouldn't know it was there unless you knew about it ahead of time, and all the usual small holes from wall to wall carpet strips are nearly impossible to spot. The shine is fabulous. Terrazzo is easy to care for, no grout or seams, nice and cool underfoot when you're trying to beat the heat, no allergans and it's the original "green" flooring. I am extremely pleased with Finish Line Floors and glad I decided NOT to cover it with cheap tile or carpet (the cost per SF is very competitive in my opinion). You couldn't afford to put in new terrazzo, but restoring it is within reach!
