Polishing Procedure for Terrazzos!

TECHNIQUE FOR POLISHING CONCRETE TERRAZZO TILES/ FLOORS

This Technique of Polishing Concrete (Cement) Terrazzo Floors is noiseless, fast, natural and completely environment friendly. The system is also approved by Leeds and is the only GREEN system for such FLOORS.

The process is very unique and can achieve best results by using special Klindex Transformation process of Super TERRAZZO. KLINDEX SYSTEM POLISH PROCESS is rated the best system in the World today).

Grinding is done on a KLINDEX PLANETARY MACHINE with Metal Quartz Terrazzo diamonds to remove any foreign particles on or in the floor and to provide even floors to remove undulation. The floor is then treated with a Densifier to make it more compact and to increase surface abrasion. This also reduces opening of new pin holes owing to filling of air gaps left by water evaporation. Further Grinding is done. It is then filled with Beton Hardener which reduces the porosity and enhances surface abrasion by 8 times on polishing.

Repairs are done using the proper grout collected from dry grinding dust collected using Beton Grout for effective filling and quick drying time. It also requires Silicate based Densifiers. Some Epoxy Bases repairs might be required for filling pin holes, joints and panel partitions.

Honing is done on the stone using KLINDEX TERRAZZO ORANGE resin bonded diamond abrasives (specially formulated for higher gloss and longer coverage) to achieve the natural gloss of the marble chips & cement by fine honing.

  • The Technical Process
