The Surface Solutions | Terrazzo Floor Polishing – The Smart Choice

At Sterling Services, we are always focused on staying ahead of industry trends and embracing innovation that benefits our team and our clients. Hear from Edgar Gonzalez, our operational manager about how Terrazzo is the “smart” route to take when restoring your surfaces. 

Sterling Services has been a trusted name in terrazzo floor care, delivering long-lasting, high-shine results that outclass traditional methods. 

Why Choose Polishing Over Waxing?
Many companies still rely on stripping and waxing terrazzo floors, but did you know terrazzo was never meant to be waxed?

The drawbacks of waxing:
  • Scratches and scuffs easily
  • Requires frequent reapplication (at least 2 times a year)
  • Increased downtime for your facility
  • Labor-intensive and short-term results

The Sterling Advantage: 3M Terrazzo Polishing Method

We use the proven 3M Polishing System, a method we've trusted for decades because of its superior results compared to others on the market.

Benefits of Our Polishing Process:
  • Enhanced color and clarity of the terrazzo
  • Sharper reflections and a deeper shine
  • Long-lasting results – shine lasts up to 5 years with proper maintenance
  • Increased resistance to scuffing and scratching
  • Restoration of most floors without the need for replacement
  • Minimal downtime with buffing between recoats
Our polishing process doesn’t just treat the surface, it hones and polishes the rock beneath, giving you a floor that’s built to last.

Value That Pays Off

While the initial cost of polishing is higher than waxing, the return on investment is clear:
  • Fewer reapplications
  • Less maintenance
  • Better aesthetics
  • Greater durability

Think of it as an investment in quality, appearance, and time saved.
