Pre-Cast Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a highly popular choice of flooring material that’s made through the combination of marble, glass and decorative aggregates. These materials are then combined in either a cement or epoxy matrix before being ground and polished to result in a beautiful, seamless and smooth floor finish.

Epoxy terrazzo is almost limitless in where it can be installed, catering to a wide variety of indoor spaces. This choice of flooring is common amongst areas that experience high foot traffic, including schools, airports, hospitals and hotels. It’s also commonly used in residential and commercial settings, providing a wide range of colors and finishes as well as a reliable, durable flooring finish.

While terrazzo offers many benefits in terms of design opportunities and aesthetic preferences, it’s also highly practical. With no grout lines, epoxy terrazzo removes the risk of bacteria or mold growing in spaces that must meet a high level of sanitary requirements. As terrazzo is easy to clean and maintain, often requiring no replacement throughout its life cycle, this flooring material is found in all kinds of high-use residential and commercial environments alike throughout the world.

It’s not uncommon for terrazzo to last as long as the building it’s in, with terrazzo from 100 years ago still taking pride of place in historical buildings. When epoxy terrazzo is poured-in-place, its lifespan sits between 40-100+ years with adequate care.

Terrazzo floors offer durability and longevity, allowing the initial investment to last over the lifespan of the building itself. Although epoxy terrazzo may have higher initial installation costs than less durable flooring choices, it equates to the lowest life cycle cost per year of any existing flooring system.
