Many Have Asked...What is Terrazzo?

Terrazzo is composed of processed marble and granite chips bonded together with Portland cement. There are various types of marble and granite chips derived from an original marble stone. Terrazzo is extremely original due to the possibility of choosing different colored stones. Each terrazzo floor is unique because of the desired colors chosen by the clients suitable to their design. Along with choosing various colors, you can also choose different types of pigments for the Portland cement. Many colored pigments can be added to grey or white cement creating a trendy floor.

Terrazzo can either be poured in place or precast. Divider strips are used to create panels for terrazzo floor when using different colors of cement and stones. These divider strips can be made of zinc, brass, alloy or even wood. Divider strips can be manipulated to create a design such as names or symbols. After the terrazzo floor is poured into the divider strips, it is then grinded using stone or diamond abrasives. Once the terrazzo is roughly grinded it is then grouted, polished and sealed.

This floor is incredibly durable outlasting a human’s lifespan. It is very easy to maintain and is generally used for high traffic walkways and corridors.
