In Situ Terrazzo Flooring Repairs

Terrazzo flooring repairs often involve the replacement of broken or even missing floor tiles. It is not uncommon, even with our vast network of tile manufacturers, to find that the specific tiles involved are no longer made. This is usually encountered with Terrazzo and marble floors in very old buildings.

Terrazzo Tiles Made In Situ

In these instances we need to complete an in situ repair, where we literally make the replacement tile in position, within the floor.

We have recently completed the in situ repair of a Terrazzo tile floor in the entrance hallway of a large house in Bury, Manchester. The in situ development of a Terrazzo or marble floor tile is as follows:

• We take a bag of the appropriate marble chippings and mix the chippings in with a matrix background of the appropriate colour.
• The mix is then trowelled into the floor space.
• We then wet roll it with specially made metal rollers. This brings the fats up to the surface.
• The floor is allowed allow to cure.
• We then carbon stone grind the area concerned, exposing the marble.
• During this process air holes will form in the matrix. This requires a fine diamond grind, followed by a 3 coat sealant application to fill the air holes and to finally harden off the floor.
