Hi Georgia, 
Its good to know if the binder is concrete or epoxy. Use harder resins for terrazzo. I usually start at 220 metal or 50 resin if it's in decent shape. If it's concrete, you can densify after 400, and work your way up, or you can use a powder polish and get a nice shine as well at 800 or above. Sometimes it's good to use a concrete densifyer/coating as a topical.

Hi Partners,

I haven't done much terrazzo estimates as I don't see very much of it where I am.  I have a steakhouse that has a matt finish terrazzo (most of it is dark with light accent pieces on the borders).  Approx. 2500 sq ft.  I took my razor and didn't find a topical.  The owner wants the light scratches removed and wants the finish to have a  high gloss.  Nice place with a black baby grand piano in a fun area just a few blocks from downtown.  From what I know, there are special pads for terrazzo, is that right.  The building was built in 1999.  I do not know the age of the floor.

I was thinking of a deep clean, diamond hone process then crystallizer.  Does anybody else have anything they can add to help me with estimating the project?

Thanks all!

Georgia
