It took some time to get the pattern right but the tile floors are finished finally. We used left over tile from a recent renovation project and with had exactly the right amount, like it was meant to be. The tile doesn't contain recycled content but at least we were using up left over material.
I'm an architect and my husband Mike is a radio guy. We bought this building in October 2010 to house his Radio Stations; Radio Free ENC ESPN 1490AM, 103.9FM and FOX Sports at 1450AM here in New Bern, NC and we are committed to looking for Green Opportunities and efficiencies we can realistically take advantage of during this renovation. Follow this blog to see how we do and what you can do!

Caro San bringing out the "wet" look
After further research the muriatic acid looked just too dangerous and not the right product for our beautiful terrazzo floor. Our local Caro San had some products by Buckeye that are PERFECT for the floor and have given it a great "wet" look. I love Terrazzo and want to use it everywhere!

Terrazzo Floor Finishing
We've been painting like mad trying to get done so Mike can move in before the end of the month. The floors are terrific but we're having an issue getting a nice shine to the existing terrazzo. We've cleaned it with Simple Green but it hasn't been very effective. We're looking at using Muriatic Acid, but I'm worried out the safety of it and how to dispose of it once we're done. I'm calling in reinforcements to help us decide!
