Terrazzo is a signature material. It offers freedom to create detailed and multicolored designs, while still maintaining a seamless surface. It is flooring that is unique, durable, and easy to maintain. And while beauty and durability are always important, the economy and performance of this flooring system remains unrivaled. An epoxy terrazzo flooring system installed 20 years ago can look as beautiful as a newly installed flooring system. Terrazzo is an integral part of many of today’s landmark buildings… those which will become tomorrow’s historic monuments. It has a truly lasting impression.

Terrazzo offers limitless design possibilities. With the imaginative use of divider strips and color variations, designs, logos, words and other configurations become a permanent and memorable part of any building’s interior.

The term terrazzo was derived from the Italian “Terrace” or “Terrazzo” and has been defined for centuries as: “A form of mosaic flooring made by embedding small pieces of marble in mortar and polishing.” Today, the definition includes much more. Terrazzo is a composite material poured in place or pre-cast, consisting of marble chips and/or other aggregates combined within a binder material. Once poured, terrazzo is cured, ground and polished.
