What's included in Terrazzo Floor Polishing

Specialty stone care

Polishing suited to terrazzo's aggregate-and-binder surface.

Restored shine

Evens out wear and brings back gloss without full grinding.

Common in lobbies & schools

Terrazzo is common in Ottawa's older institutional and commercial buildings.

Topical polishing vs. full diamond restoration

Terrazzo floor care ranges from simple topical sealing and polishing (roughly $1-$3 per square foot) up to full diamond-grinding restoration for heavily worn or damaged floors, which costs significantly more and typically lasts 8-10 years. Our terrazzo polishing service is the topical option – a lower-cost way to restore shine and even out light wear on terrazzo that’s still in reasonably good structural condition. If your terrazzo needs deeper restoration, we’ll assess it honestly and quote that separately.
