Florida has a lot of terrazzo flooring from the 50s, 60s and 70s. With a large availability of these old homes in Florida many have gained a love for the home designs from these eras. I have had people call me for terrazzo restoration and say they were going to modernize the homes a little and restore the terrazzo then sell. I let them know that the old bath tubs, sinks, bathroom tile bathroom and kitchen cabinets are in high demand and should be restored and not replaced.\I talk to new home owners every day. Many love the old retro look from these home and want to preserve them.I have had home owners say the were tearing out the tub liners and whatever the tub looked like they would restore it. Even the old colored fixtures are in demand.
Retro is in in Florida and these homes are now in demand. At Safe Dry we restore old terrazzo. When terrazzo was installed in old Florida homes it was often covered with carpet, tile or vinyl. Other areas were left exposed and a topical sealer and finish was installed. These floors were honed to around 200 grit, so they were very respective to dirt and stains. \It is no wonder so many people hated them. Terrazzo finish would get scared very easily. It would need stripped and finish would need re-installed every year or two.
Today we diamond polish terrazzo flooring with a shine that is not the illusion a a shinny floor, but a floor that shines on its own.Our floors do not have a glare. When a light shines on the terrazzo you see the light build, not a glare of light. This is what terrazzo was always desired to look like. With Safe Dry's terrazzo restoration these floors do not need any polishing for seven to ten years under normal residential use. We install an impregnating sealer that penetrates the floor and lasts two years. We also have an upgrade penetrating sealer that lasts five to ten years.
