Renovation of granito terrazzo



The Granito Terrazzo


Granito terrazzo floors consist of a cement based frame with different types of stones integrated. They are either cast (as was much the case in the 30s for town houses or common areas in buildings) or present in the form of tiles.

Treatments


Whether it concerns granite tiles or old cast terrazzo, the renovation of this type of floor is much needed to maintain the unique character of the floor, to make it resistant to stains and wear and to give it all the qualities of a modern floor. A wide range of hydro and oleophobic treatments by means of pore fillers and emulsions makes it possible to cover a large range of protections.
