These are just a few examples of chip and matrix combinations. The samples are listed in order according to the collection name: Standard (S), Designer (D), Exotic (E), Rustic (R), and Venetian (V). Care has been exercised in the scanning process of these illustrations to provide an image that represents the product. Nevertheless, electronic imaging does not remain true to the colors. Monitors and printers vary greatly in color resolution! To ensure proper color selection, please call NCTA at 800-323-9736 or email us at info@ncterrazzo.com and ask for a Color Palette. Also, since marble is a product of nature, variations of color and shape can be anticipated. Do not use this electronic palette for sample selection!

Use of “Special Finish” techniques, designated by “SF,” will also result in an increased cost. The NTMA recommends 120 grit stones for fine grinding, but deeper colors can be achieved with additional grinding using higher grit stones. Special Finishes, sometimes referred to as “marble finishes” require additional labor and materials that will result in a higher cost. When selected, designers must indicate the use of a “Special Finish” plate in their specifications. Such finishes may also decrease the inherent slip resistance of the terrazzo floor. Terrazzo smoothness and gloss will vary depending upon the degree of finishing and polishing specified. Price adjustments should be expected for higher degrees of finishing.

The cost of installation is dependant upon the materials selected (Standard, Designer, Exotic, Rustic, or Venetian), the total size of the installation, intricacy of design, and prevailing labor rates in the area of the project. Designer, Exotic, Venetian and Rustic terrazzo formulations incorporate materials and/or techniques that will increase the cost when compared to Standard terrazzo formulations.
