High-Traffic Elevator Restoration in Australia with EZshine Diamond Pads

The Situation

Elevator floors are among the highest-traffic zones in any building. Constant pivoting, heavy footfall, and tracked-in debris had left this Terrazzo Tile surface in Australia dull, scratched, and difficult to clean. The objective was to perform a complete restoration to bring back a professional, high-clarity finish without the use of aggressive chemicals.

• Location: Australia
• Type of Place: Elevator
• Type of Floor: Terrazzo Tile

The Solution

To achieve a premium finish in a compact, high-wear area, a systematic 6-step restoration process was implemented. This approach focuses on mechanical cleaning to minimize manual effort while maximizing the floor's durability.

Applied Process:

• Step 1 – Deep Restoration: Performed a wet restoration with EZshine Red #1 Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads. Pro Tip: The surface was cleaned every two passes to remove slurry immediately.
• Step 2 & 3 – Surface Refinement: Followed with White #2 and Yellow #3 Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads to remove micro-scratches and leave a satin finish.
• Step 4 – Pre-Polishing: A final wet pass with Green #4 Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads to smooth the surface and prepare it for high-gloss finishing.
• Step 5 – Buffing: Performed dry at a low speed with Green #4 Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads.
• Step 6 – Ultra High-Gloss Finish: The process concluded with high-speed burnishing using the Gray #6 Diamond Floor Maintenance Pads, achieving a mirror-like, professional clarity.
