Barry,

 

These are terrazzo tiles, you can grind them down then either repolish to a gloss finish, leave them at a honed finish. Depending upon the finish that is currently on the floors.

 

Are these tile grouped together or a they throughout the store? If they are spread throughout the store I would grid each stone with your hand grinder. If you have a grinding cup wheel I would use this first to remove the excessive materials first then use you 50 ,100 etc resin hand diamonds to finish.

The floor can be cleaned using a Alkaline Stripper/degreaser  I would add about 2 t0 3 ounce3s of 400 or 800 grit honing powders to the your stripper / degreaser, this will clean the floor up nice. I’m assuming the floor has a mat or honed finish on it.

Then seal the floor with an Impregnating Sealer you done. If they want a polished stone then polish with 5X polishing Powders

Hi Folks.  I just looked at floor in a 24 hour convenience store where Fritztile Terrazzo 12" tiles are installed.  The tiles are 12" squares.  After doing some research, I found that the chips within the tile are real marble, but the binder is not concrete nor epoxy/ resin; it seems to be a hard compound.  They have about 20 or so lippage problem areas probably due to a poor installation, but they want me to grind them down to avoid tripping.  They want the floor cleaned and sealed.  Has anyone worked with this material and know how to "restore" it to a "like new" condition?

Thanks,

Barry
