Good grinding is required so that the whole surface will be ‘scratched’ and able to bond mechanically with the new coat. You want to remove any existing sealers still left on the surface that could clash with the epoxies.
Epoxy can be coated over terrazzo, however, you need to be aware of the following factors: The grinding process is important because it provides the roughness for the epoxy to adhere. If the surface is not properly prepared, the epoxy will not bond properly and could peel or chip.
You also want to remove any existing sealers from the surface. Some sealers can react with epoxy, causing it to turn yellow or become brittle. If you are going to apply a sealer to terrazzo, you want to use one that is specifically formulated for terrazzo floors.
Thin-set epoxy terrazzo is a type of terrazzo that can be used to cover existing terrazzo systems. This includes sand cushion, monolithic, or bonded flooring.
In some cases, thin-set epoxy terrazzo can be used as a repair material for existing terrazzo systems. This terrazzo is composed of epoxy and aggregate and is typically thinner than traditional terrazzo.
One of the benefits of thin-set epoxy terrazzo is that it can be installed over a wide variety of substrates. Additionally, thin-set epoxy terrazzo can be customized with a wide variety of colors and finishes.
