Terrazzo diamond brushes in Mallorca – natural structures and non-slip surfaces
Terrazzo is known in Mallorca for its timeless aesthetics and resistance. But the floor should not always be highly polished. If you want to opt for a more discreet but at the same time more non-slip look, diamond brushing offers an excellent solution. In this article , you will learn how the process works, what advantages it brings to your terrazzo surfaces and how you can optimally combine diamond brushing with other services.
What is Terrazzo Diamond Brushes?
With diamond brushing, the surface of the terrazzo is not completely smoothed as with grinding , but is specifically structured. For this purpose, special brushes with diamond embellishment are used, which slightly roughen the material and thus create a natural, somewhat more rustic effect. This method is becoming increasingly popular in Mallorca, as it is both visually and functionally convincing.
Advantages of diamond brushes for terrazzo
- Slip resistance: The slightly rougher surface increases surefootedness – especially important in pools or outdoor areas.
- Natural look: The grain and variety of colours of the terrazzo come into their own discreetly without being overly shiny.
- Durable Structure: In contrast to pure grinding or polishing processes, the brushed surface remains less sensitive to fine scratches.
- Pleasant feel: Terrazzo feels grippy with diamond brushes, which can be an advantage, especially in barefoot areas.
Combination with other terrazzo services
Depending on the condition of your soil, it may be useful to combine diamond brushes with other methods:
- Terrazzo cleaning: A thorough cleaning before brushing removes dirt and old layers of care so that the brushes can work evenly.
- Terrazzo crystallization: If you prefer a certain shine despite the brushed surface, subsequent chemical solidification can provide more hardness and shimmer.
- Terrazzo impregnation: To additionally protect your floor from moisture and stains, impregnation after brushing is recommended.
- Terrazzo restoration: In older or severely damaged floors, missing areas can be repaired or cracks closed before brushing begins.
Sequence of diamond brushing
First, the floor is thoroughly cleaned of dust and impurities. Brushes with different diamond grits are then used. The choice of grain size determines the intensity of the structure – from fine to very pronounced roughness, many things are possible. The processing is carried out in several passes to achieve an even surface appearance. Once the desired structure has been achieved, you can opt for further treatments, such as impregnation or even crystallisation if you prefer a slight sheen.
