Protect and beautify your terrazzo floors with Terra Finish, SOLI Steamex’s economical high-solids thermoplastic acrylic co-polymer floor coating. This professional-grade surface cleaner delivers exceptional high-gloss results while providing durable protection against wear, scratches, and daily traffic. Trusted by cleaning professionals throughout Long Island for over 55 years.
Features
Terra Finish represents advanced floor coating technology specifically engineered for terrazzo and hard surface applications. The high-solids thermoplastic acrylic co-polymer formulation provides superior film build and durability compared to conventional floor finishes, ensuring long-lasting protection and brilliant shine.
The metal interlock technology creates exceptional adhesion and cross-linking between coating layers, resulting in a unified protective barrier that resists scuffing, scratching, and wear from heavy traffic. This advanced bonding system ensures consistent performance throughout the coating’s service life.
Dri-brite characteristics enable the finish to dry quickly and evenly, minimizing facility downtime while preventing tracking and premature wear during the curing process. Professional cleaning crews appreciate products that allow rapid return to service without compromising final appearance quality.
The high-gloss formulation delivers brilliant shine without requiring buffing or burnishing after application. This mirror-like finish enhances the natural beauty of terrazzo surfaces while providing visual confirmation of complete coverage and proper application technique.
Easy repair capabilities distinguish Terra Finish from traditional floor coatings that require complete removal for touch-ups. The thermoplastic nature allows for spot repairs and recoating without visible seams or color variations, supporting efficient maintenance programs.
Benefits
Experience transformative floor protection that extends the life of expensive terrazzo installations while maintaining brilliant appearance. Terra Finish creates a durable barrier against foot traffic, equipment movement, and environmental contamination that can damage unprotected surfaces.
Professional efficiency increases significantly with quick-drying formulation that reduces application time and facility disruption. Commercial operations can resume normal activities faster compared to slow-curing finishes, minimizing revenue loss and operational interruption.
Cost-effectiveness comes from multiple factors including economical pricing, excellent coverage per gallon, and extended wear characteristics that reduce recoating frequency. The high-solids content provides superior film build, meaning fewer coats are needed to achieve desired protection levels.
Maintenance simplification results from the durable surface that resists soil penetration and facilitates routine cleaning. Dust mopping and damp mopping maintain appearance between recoating cycles, while the repairable nature eliminates costly complete stripping for minor damage.
The brilliant high-gloss finish enhances facility appearance, creating positive impressions for visitors, customers, and occupants. Professional environments benefit from attractive flooring that reflects attention to quality and detail in facility maintenance.
Versatility across commercial, industrial, and institutional applications makes Terra Finish suitable for diverse flooring needs. From corporate lobbies to educational facilities, this adaptable coating delivers consistent results across varying traffic levels and environmental conditions.
How to Use
Proper surface preparation ensures optimal Terra Finish adhesion and performance. Begin by thoroughly cleaning terrazzo surfaces to remove all dirt, grease, old finish buildup, and contaminants. Use appropriate stripping products if removing existing coatings, followed by thorough rinsing and complete drying.
Inspect cleaned surfaces for damage requiring repair before coating application. Address cracks, chips, or other defects according to terrazzo restoration standards to ensure uniform finish appearance and proper protection of repaired areas.
Apply Terra Finish using professional application equipment including microfiber applicators, finish mops, or automatic coating equipment. Maintain thin, even coats to prevent pudding, streaking, or premature wear. The self-leveling formula assists in achieving uniform coverage when applied with proper technique.
Three coats typically provide optimal protection and gloss for normal traffic conditions. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying subsequent layers, typically 30-45 minutes depending on temperature and humidity. Proper drying between coats ensures strong interlayer bonding and prevents clouding or delamination.
Professional application requires attention to environmental conditions including temperature and humidity. Ideal application occurs at temperatures between 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit with relative humidity below 70 percent. Extreme conditions may require extended drying times or application modifications.
Integrate Terra Finish applications with comprehensive floor maintenance programs including regular dust mopping, periodic damp mopping, and scheduled recoating to maintain optimal appearance and protection levels.
Safety
Terra Finish is formulated with user safety and environmental responsibility as key considerations. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying to prevent vapor concentration in enclosed spaces. Open windows and doors or use mechanical ventilation to maintain air quality.
Personal protective equipment including gloves and eye protection should be used during application to prevent skin and eye contact. While the cured finish is safe for normal use, wet product requires standard chemical handling precautions.
Store containers in cool, dry locations away from freezing temperatures and direct sunlight. Freezing can permanently damage the emulsion, rendering it unusable. Maintain storage temperatures above 40 degrees Fahrenheit and below 90 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal product stability.
Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent skinning and contamination. The high-solids formulation requires protection from air exposure that could cause premature curing in the container.
Consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS 2050-1825) for detailed handling instructions, first aid procedures, and emergency response information. Professional users should maintain SDS documentation on-site and ensure all personnel understand proper handling protocols.
Prevent foot traffic on newly applied finish until completely dry to prevent tracking and premature wear. Post appropriate signage indicating wet floor conditions and restricted access during application and curing periods.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many coats of Terra Finish are recommended for optimal protection? Three coats provide optimal protection and gloss for normal traffic conditions. High-traffic areas may benefit from additional coats to extend service life, while light-traffic areas might achieve adequate protection with two coats. Always allow complete drying between applications.
Can Terra Finish be applied over existing floor coatings? Terra Finish adheres best to properly cleaned terrazzo surfaces. For optimal results, remove existing coatings completely before application. If applying over compatible existing finishes, ensure surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, in good condition, and properly adhesion-tested.
What’s the coverage per gallon for Terra Finish? Coverage depends on surface porosity and application method but typically ranges from 1,500-2,000 square feet per gallon per coat. Porous or textured surfaces may require more product, while smooth, sealed surfaces achieve maximum coverage rates.
How long should I wait before allowing foot traffic on newly applied Terra Finish? Allow at least 30-45 minutes drying time before light foot traffic, though complete curing may take several hours. For full protection and optimal durability, restrict heavy traffic and equipment use for 24 hours after final coat application.
Can Terra Finish be buffed or burnished to enhance gloss? Yes, the thermoplastic formulation responds well to high-speed burnishing, which can restore gloss between recoating cycles. This maintenance capability extends service life and maintains appearance without requiring complete recoating.
What maintenance is required to preserve Terra Finish appearance? Regular dust mopping removes abrasive soils that can dull the finish. Periodic damp mopping with neutral cleaners maintains cleanliness, while scheduled spray buffing or burnishing restores gloss. Recoat high-traffic areas as needed when wear becomes visible.
Is Terra Finish compatible with automatic scrubbing equipment? Yes, the durable coating withstands routine automatic scrubbing when appropriate cleaning solutions and pad types are used. Avoid aggressive pads or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish. Use neutral maintenance cleaning products for optimal results.
How does Terra Finish perform in high-humidity environments? The thermoplastic formulation provides good moisture resistance when properly cured. However, standing water should be removed promptly to prevent edge lifting or whitening. Ensure adequate ventilation during application in high-humidity conditions for proper curing.
