Terrazzo Art of Sarasota

This blog is from a terrazzo restoration SafeDry did in Sarasota Florida. This is a great looking old Florida home. The house did not have any windows, but had sliding glass doors in every room. The house was surrounded by atrium's and Florida rooms. This helped to show the true beauty of their terrazzo floors as well as highlighting the wonderful architecture of their home. These old Florida terrazzo floors are art. With all those wall and glass doors to reflect on the floors I think you could do a whole book of art from this home. I hope everyone loves this house. I know I did. The floor had a heave finish product on it, but we ground it off and polished this terrazzo floor to a high shine. We also did a few repairs. We filled around sis holes that were very hard to find after we were done.


Many think terrazzo floors are hard to clean, but after restoration these floors are very easy to clean and keep up. When these terrazzo floors were first done they were very pours and held dirt. After terrazzo diamond grinding and polishing and sealing dirt has a hard time getting into the floor.


When you figure the terrazzo restoration cost against tile or other flooring I am sure you will find it a bargain.

Today I want to show some of our latest pictures, including some taken today at a job just completed in Sarasota Florida. I also want to talk about how and why I take the pictures of terrazzo restoration floors.
I could do a whole blog of  of plant reflections in floors we have restored. I must admit to being a plant lover. If I had terrazzo in my home I would surround my rooms with windows and flowers and plants. Imagine enjoying your plants , not only outside, but on your floor in high definition.
Sometimes I forget to show the entire floor after the terrazzo restoration. I am trying to do a better job of showing the whole floor before and after. We have made marked advances in our terrazzo floors over the years, but in the past few months we have stepped up our game more then ever.
As the owner of SafeDry, I and promise to always keep up to date with all the advances in terrazzo restoration. When we find high quality new products we always Incorporated them into our system and test their effectiveness and place within our system.
I think one of the best ways to show how great a terrazzo floor looks is to take pictures of the reflection off the floor. When you take a picture of a palm tree, on a quality terrazzo restoration, you can see the space between the fron strands. You can see flowers in bloom. I have even taken many pictures of reflections of people standing outside and these pictures look great.
This does not tell the whole story. Terrazzo floors look great at night. In low light you can often times see the whole room reflect off the floor.
The job just completed in Sarasota was stunning. It had a great variety of marble stones and colors. I am sure you will agree that this floor was worth saving. Now on to the great terrazzo floor.

Here are some pictures from another terrazzo restoration done in Sarasota in March.

Terrazzo Restoration

SafeDry has been doing terrazzo restoration for many years. We test many products and systems to insure we give our customers the best, longest lasting floor possible. Several years ago we made a decision to switch our system to use an HTC grinder.

At the point we changed we were using the same machine almost all our competition used. We were using a weighted swing machine. That machine weighed around 150 pounds. Change meant a significant investment for us. A swing machine runs from $800 to $1,000. Our new system would cost us a $20,000 investment. Since we clanged to our HTC 500 grinder we have never looked back. I have never felt we could match our new system with the old one. 

The new system came with one big problem. It made the floors look so good that we had to learn how to step up our game in edging. Floor edging is very important and the better you make a floor look the more you have to work on edging.

In the past couple of years we have tested many new systems and implemented new steps in order to maximize our finished shine. None of our steps include any topical finish or sealer. We use an impregnating sealer the penetrates the floor and fills the pours to protect the floor. When we finish with your terrazzo floor the shine you see is the floor, not the illusion of a shinny floor.
We never recrystallize terrazzo floors. This process means the floor needs buffed every one or two years. With our system, under normal where, your floor will not need any polishing for seven to ten years. We use only diamond grinding and polishing. We show our HTC 500 grinder, but never share all our steps.
SafeDry has spent many late nights figuring out the best products and which order they are best used in. We are not going to show other how to replicate what we do. In short our complete system is secret. The results of our terrazzo restoration system are evident. Check out how great our floors are looking these days.
