Derek,

 

I have seen that product applied and looks pretty good and has a low luster. I would suggest you try honing only at 120 then seal ,220 or 200 might give you too much shine once you coat it.

Most terrazzo installer leave there floor at a 120 then coat them. Some of the older job were actually left  at a 80 grit then coated. The higher you hone the higher the shine is going to be.

 

You may want to look at Richard james chemicals to see  if they have a mat or satin finish for terrazzo ..

John, it is epoxy terrazzo in cafeteria and i will go to, i think 100 or 200 hybrids since its spec to be coated and they don't want shine.

I talk to the guy from Hilyards and he recommended Satin floor finish, but i don't like the idea of a floor finish.

 Did you ever worked with the terrazine? Hilyards web doesn't give me any info as far as the shin level.

Derek, is that epoxy terrazzo? how high up is it polished? I used the sealers on concrete terrazzo that was honed only to 100 resin and it did not have high gloss..You may want to give a look to the terrazine made by Hilyards, it is definately a matte sealer and very simple. According to what Terrazzo and Marble Supply told me, they recommend an acrylic sealer be used on the terrazzo, and to not wax the floors..

Darek,

did you call Glaze and seal they have a couple of pretty decent acrylic easy to apply low gloss sealers.

They are quite durable as well.

Also Joncrete(johnsondiversey) has a matte finish acrylic sealer that is worth looking at.Its for concrete but I am sure it will work on epoxy terrazzo.

You might also want to give sparks southwest a call -they can tell you how to dilute one of their sealers to a matte finish by adding water to it. Good Luck.

Hi Derek. Another thing you can try is a two step terrazzo conditioning process developed by national chemical lab in Philadelphia. Start with Rock hard solution and then go to Patina. It is put down with a hogs hair pad. They use this on all the newer Wawa convenience stores around here  as a maintenance plan. It gives a nice sheen without being very glossy and I believe doesn't need to be stripped.

derek , i would also look at the waterbased sealer from American Decorative Concrete..i think it is called Stain Blocker, its the exterior version, its  pretty low sheen and gives a good build. I also used the Decra Seal from WR Meadows and its not super high gloss either...both are around 30% solids, and you spray it down with a fan tip, then back roll..gives a good build and it levels out nicely.

I'm preparing for epoxy based terrazzo restoration in high end cafeteria and the specs are to apply matte or satin topical sealer after honing.

i checked with lots of terrazzo suppliers and everybody have only hi-gloss sealer or matte finishes that are two components and difficult to apply.

Any of you have used or would recommend any product that is compatible with all the above?

Looks like currently it is white cement. I think I would trust that more.

Mike,

Portland cement or regular grout with the latex will give you good results but I think the pre-colored grouts will give you a better variety of colors.

Not sure what you can get down under but we have a good range off white grouts that work well.

Thanks guys. Do you think white cement will bond better than white grout?
