THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE…
Often seen as a lower-cost substitute for terrazzo, polished concrete is an increasingly popular flooring choice for big-box retailers, grocers, warehouses, gyms, and other large spaces requiring low-maintenance floors. In the end, however, it is no replacement for terrazzo.
THE OK
In high-traffic areas, where design consistency and appearance is not a concern, polished concreted could offer an alternative to terrazzo flooring.
THE BAD
Polished concrete can mimic terrazzo but does not offer the design options, aggregate placement, cracking control, or sophistication of terrazzo floors.
THE UGLY
Polished concrete does not show its age well, especially when coatings discolor and concrete cracks.
THE BEST
Terrazzo offers nearly limitless design flexibility in a durable, sustainable, and low-maintenance package. The flexibility of epoxy terrazzo helps prevent cracks, ensuring a flawless, long-lasting finish.
