Terrazzo, also known as poured mosaic, is a durable floor made by mixing marble and colored stone chips with cement or resin and pouring it in place. It is still commonly found in old apartment entrances, school and hospital corridors, and the kitchens and balconies of older homes. Over the years the surface gets dirty, darkens under layers of polish, cracks form, and the pattern becomes invisible. With terrazzo grinding, we remove these layers and bring out the colors of the stone chips again. We work on terrazzo floors throughout Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla.
What do we do in terrazzo grinding?
- Removal of old layers: Layers of polish, paint and dirt applied over the years are removed with coarse grinding.
- Crack and void repair: Hairline cracks and chipped-out pieces are filled with mortar or resin matched to the color of the floor.
- Leveling: Height differences and waviness between sections are eliminated.
- Polishing: The surface is closed with progressive diamond grits, and the stone chips come to life.
- Crystallization or protection: Crystallized polish is applied to floors with marble aggregate, and impregnation to others.
Places where we do terrazzo grinding
- Apartment entrances: Entrance halls and stair landings of older buildings.
- Public buildings: Corridors of schools, hospitals and government offices.
- Older homes: Poured mosaics in kitchens, balconies and corridors.
- New projects: Modern resin terrazzo poured for design purposes.
How we work
- Inspection: We check whether the floor is cement or resin, and look at cracks and level differences, and we quote the price on site.
- Rough grinding: We remove old layers and level differences with coarse diamond tools.
- Repair: We fill the gaps and cracks that open up, then wait for them to cure.
- Fine grinding and polishing: We gradually refine the surface and bring out the shine.
- Protection and handover: We apply polish or sealer and hand over the area clean.
Renovating an old floor instead of replacing it
Breaking up old terrazzo floors and laying new ones is both expensive and places a heavy load on the building. Honing often gives a much better result.
- Cost: It is far more economical than demolition and new installation.
- Time: There is no demolition, no rubble and no waiting for curing; the job is done in a few days.
- Authenticity: The pattern that gives the building its character is preserved.
Terrazzo grinding and polishing in Antalya, Mersin, Adana and Muğla
Terrazzo floors are still common in older apartment buildings in Adana and Mersin, as well as in older buildings and public structures in Antalya's central districts. We plan the work together with building management and institutions, restoring these floors in a way that disrupts daily use as little as possible.
Pricing and quote
Terrazzo grinding is priced per square meter. The site survey is free of charge.
- Old layers: A thick layer of polish and paint increases the time needed for rough grinding.
- Amount of repair: The number of cracks and voids determines the material and labor required.
- Size of the area: The unit price drops for larger areas.
- Finish: Crystallized polish or sealing is a separate line item.
Warranty and handover
It is a condition of our handover that the repaired areas blend in with the floor and that the surface has an even gloss throughout. If you notice any problem after handover, we will come back and put it right on site.
