Elegrande Terrazzo
Terrazzo has been used for centuries in flooring and other surfaces. It is a durable composite made of materials such as crushed marble, granite or sandstone, glass dust, marble dust and Portland cement, water, sand, and colouring. The original Terrazzo surface is rough and is polished in water to achieve strength & a natural marble or granite look.
Elegrande handmade Terrazzo has been made to the highest standard and is frost and crack resistant only when drained and maintained properly
Potting Elegrande Terrazzo Planters
We recommend to fill the bottom of the pot up with bricks, stone or gravel or similar. Ensure the drainage hole does not get blocked, this is best achieved by placing the pot off the ground.
Use good potting compost to ensure good drainage.
Maintenance & Cleaning Terrazzo Furniture & Planters
UV and weather influence the surface of Terrazzo over time, the surface may dry out and fade the colour. Regular treatment of Terrazzo with our special Cadix Stain Stop Plus treatment and Terrazzo Ink will maintain & revive Terrazzo.
Avoid the use of aggressive detergents and contact with substances containing acids.
Sharp objects will scratch the surface of Terrazzo
Cleaning Elegrande Terrazzo
To clean Terrazzo use warm water and soft soap (Based on linseed oil)
Stains that can’t be removed by washing and polishing can be removed with fine sanding paper. DO remember to polish and impregnate with Cadix Stain Stop Plus and Cadix Terrazzo Ink after sanding it.
For Terrazzo Repairs, a Terrazzo Repair Kit is available.
