Terrazzo Floor Repairs
The remit for this contract was to replace any broken tiles, cut and re-grout any failing joints, and then diamond polish the entire centre to the satisfaction of Project Manager. The whole facility was polished in one continuous visit, and then maintained in pristine condition over 4 annual visits, each of a weeks duration. The client maintained a supply of tiles, of which there were seven different colours and aggregate blends.
Pre Contract Considerations
Our experience over a thirty year period of carrying out such contracts, enabled us to indicate exactly where we would need the three phase power points which are invariably required. Furthermore, there were many other issues concerning disposal of debris, broken tiles, slurry, sealed bags of dust, and many other contract considerations each of which needed particular consideration before-hand.
Diamond Polishing
As experienced contractors, we know that diamond polishing will only succeed if the existing floor has been ground flat during the initial Terrazzo installation. Allowances for additional grinding are normally made before diamond polishing prices are finalised. Even the smallest lips which would not normally be noticeable, can adversely affect the success of diamond polishing.
