Some Terrazzo and thin-set applications may need additional drying times before Terrazzo colour restores to the original colour. Make sure to climatize your Terrazzo and worksite to above 72 degrees for 48 - 72 hours before installing your product. Terrazzo is flexible and resilient, so it is important to keep your product dry before installing to avoid additional re-drying times. After installation, we recommend applying a concrete densifier and 2 coats of a good quality concrete sealer such as Prosoco Polish Guard, as per manufactures instructions to make the surface impervious to liquids.
Resealing may be necessary if water or liquids no longer bead on Terrazzo surface as maintenance, every few years. Wipe up after spills or contact with acidic foods or liquids to minimize etching if it is an issue. Use only non-acidic products for cleaning your Terrazzo.
