Renovation process of terrazzo floor
1. The repair and polishing of terrazzo floors is a relatively simple construction method, but it is not easy to truly give the repaired and polished terrazzo floor a completely new feeling.

Use a stone polishing machine to use different grinding discs from low to high to polish and polish them in order to achieve the required brightness; Use a crystal powder and stone polishing machine to harden the surface of the terrazzo by crystallization to improve its wear resistance, and then use crystallization agents for surface crystal maintenance.
3. After passing through the grinding process, it is necessary to check the grinding effect, and then replace it with a higher mesh size oilstone for finer grinding according to the situation. At the repaired cracks, polishing should be done carefully, and the interface should be carefully checked for flatness. Grinding should only be stopped after it is smooth. At the internal corner, it is necessary to change the manual small grinder for grinding.

In the first few months of paving, it is necessary to mop the floor every day to remove minerals from the flat ground; It may be necessary to reapply wax when thoroughly cleaning.
2. In daily cleaning and maintenance, it is recommended to use a broom to clean, vacuum, or use a treated oil-free mop to remove dust every day; At the same time, combined with regular maintenance, use a wet mop or machine brush to wipe, use a flexible cleaning agent, and use a mop or vacuum water absorber to freely wash and polish. But use synthetic fiber pads for polishing, not steel velvet.
3. After the renovation of terrazzo, its surface hardness can reach the hardness of ordinary hemp stone, which has the luxury of natural marble and the hardness of granite. Its surface glossiness can reach over 90 degrees. Daily maintenance does not require waxing and polishing, and local polishing or quarterly periodic polishing can be done according to the situation every month to maintain a good surface effect for a long time.
