Concrete can be polished to a deep, permanent sheen.
15,000 SF of rubber terrazzo was installed on this project. Photos illustrate installation process.
New grinders and diamond tooling and grinding techniques can actually create terrazzo surfaces better than original.
Original vinyl tiles were delaminated from concrete substrate, because of high vapor pressure. Tiles and mastice were removed, then the substate shotblasted prior to application of a moisture mitigation system.
