Cost and care of concrete /terrazzo substrates is at an all time high.

The use of regular polymer coatings on terrazzo is losing ground due to the durability, labour costs, deep stripping required, chemicals required and overall end user satisfaction, It appears this original 1960’s technology may have run it course?

The introduction of the “grinding process” is gaining ground but not without it’s issues and end user dissatisfaction.

First, it is a very specialized process requiring the use of expensive specialized equipment and skilled labour, which increases the cost. Also, required are expensive grinding discs, chemistry and miscellaneous supplies.

Labour is the most expensive contributing factor. The ISSA reports that labour contributes to approximately 90% of the cost and these grinding processes are extremely labour intensive.

Additionally, there is the lack of custodial skillset/labour for these specialized processes. If done incorrectly, one can cause permanent damage to the flooring substrate.

Lastly, there is a negative overall look or appearance of the floor and facility. The flooring substrate will be a 10 /10 immediately following the process. Due to the specialized care and regular maintenance required, they quickly lose the shine failing to satisfy facility clients the majority of the time.

Two common issues are, over promising a long lasting end result and the return on investment, which is  not as good as advertised.
