We are Colonial Floor Care, South Florida’s terrazzo restoration and marble, concrete and granite polishing experts. A big part of what we do in our restoration and polishing processes in the practice of green home renovation. We have worked hard to develop chemical free, environmentally safe and energy efficient restoration methods. We also like to highlight the green nature of terrazzo, marble and granite. All three materials are not only beautiful, but are excellent materials for a green home. They do not emit VOC’s( a great asthma prevention benefit!), they do not harbor dust mites, and they are not condusive to mold growth.

Welcome to the Miami Terrazzo Restoration/Cleaning blog!
We are Colonial Floor Care, South Florida’s terrazzo restoration specialists.
On this blog, we will be discussing many aspects of terrazzo – one of Miami’s most important design elements.
One example of how terrazzo is used in Miami as an integral part of Miami Design is a home featured in Florida Design’s Miami Magazine, vol.5 no.2.
In the article, entitled “Life is Beautiful” by Robin Gelfand, a home restoration in Coral Gables is described as follows:
Following the terrazzo flooring into the foyer, an 18th Century English style banister, laquered in red, doesn’t merely draw the eye, it captures it and holds it hostage. Crystal knobs embellishing the newel posts modernize the Honduran mahogany stair treads and handrail, while a Bacarat chandelier keeps company with one found in the painting “Soft Velvet”, and oil on canvas by artist Emi Avora. The owner’s own Chinese Deco area rug dates back at least a half century… And in the end, the designer set the scene for the owner’s love of all things Italian, and it is in this spirit that every inch is designed for a rich and abundant “la vita e bella” or beautiful life, as is the Italian way.
I love this description because it describes how a terrazzo floor leads one into this home as a pathway to a sensous luxury. In my experience, terrazzo is mush more than a practical, durable, energy efficient addition to a home. It also adds romantic beauy to overall design, taking a home to a higher aesthetic place, making it part of a beautiful life.
The influence of italian terrazzo can be seen throughout Southern Florida- it is an important part of our architectural heritage.
