Terrazzo has several advantages for both commercial and residential structures. The flooring system terrazzo is made out of marble chips and/or other ornamental aggregates. Terrazzo floors are now a common material used in many construction projects all over the world as a result of terrazzo’s current boom in popularity among architects and designers. This is because terrazzo has qualities that help a building’s form and function.
1. Longevity
Did you realize that terrazzo frequently outlives a structure’s entire lifespan? Buildings occasionally require many floor replacements over the course of their lifetimes. However, terrazzo installations completely prevent the necessity for floor finish maintenance. Terrazzo can endure intense pressure brought on by heavy machinery or foot activity because it has high compressive strength. The surface can last for many years because of the material’s resilience.
2. Maintenance
One issue with modern flooring systems is that some flooring surfaces will need to be repaired or replaced due to everyday wear and tear in high-traffic areas. The floor is virtually unbreakable with terrazzo. Building owners are therefore less concerned because it is a component of the high-quality, maintenance free floors.
When terrazzo floors do occasionally require repairs, they can be brought back to their former glory for a far lower price than if the finish had to be replaced. This is valid for older buildings with terrazzo floors as well as for structures that sustain earthquake and hurricane damage.
3. Design Capabilities
There is no other flooring system like terrazzo if you’re searching for one with excellent design possibilities. This is so that architects and designers have the flexibility to create practically any design possible with terrazzo. The floor serves as a blank canvas for personal design choices. Terrazzo gives you freedom of design, whether it is simple or elaborate, monochromatic or colorful.
Terrazzo currently offers an endless color pallet due to the advancement of epoxy terrazzo throughout the years. Additionally, aggregates are available in a variety of colors. Different hues, textures, and sizes of marble chips and recycled glass chips are cut for the pattern of a floor.
The use of terrazzo design is not without merit. The device creates intricate logos and images for a terrazzo design using waterjet technology. These designs’ use of color might help to create a specific tone.

A terrazzo floor rarely needs to be repaired. Terrazzo is resistant to stains from chemicals, fire, water, and other sources.
