Thinset or ‘poured terrazzo’ flooring is the most common type of terrazzo floor installation. This type of terrazzo flooring offers incredible benefits such as longevity and durability, high impact and chemical resistance, low maintenance costs, and a timeless appearance. However, poured terrazzo flooring is challenging to install and requires specialized labor and materials.
Poured terrazzo flooring has one of the highest upfront installation costs of any type of flooring available. However, as discussed in this article, terrazzo flooring can provide one of the lowest long-term flooring costs for the correct use case. For this reason, we install terrazzo flooring in high-traffic use cases such as stadiums, municipal buildings, schools, and even jails.
Terrazzo tile can achieve a similar aesthetic as poured terrazzo flooring with a more straightforward installation at a lower cost. Modern terrazzo tiles can come in large format sizes, such as 24″x 24″, providing a more contemporary appearance than other tiles. However, large-format tiles are more expensive to install and manufacture because of their size. Although terrazzo tiles are less costly than poured epoxy terrazzo flooring, they’re one of the more expensive types of tile installations available.
Terrazzo flooring combines an epoxy resin binder, marble dust, and aggregates. These aggregates are most often made of marble chips; however, granite, glass, polished metals, and shells are also commonly incorporated. One benefit of terrazzo flooring is that many of these materials can be recycled materials, creating a floor with more environmental benefits than other types of flooring, such as hardwood or ceramic tile. This environmental advantage can be used to gain LEED and other environmental certifications in some circumstances. The origin and quality of aggregates are variable and significantly impact the cost of a finished floor.
Previous tile, carpet, and wood flooring installations each bring different challenges during the repair and restoration process. For example, glue left by a wood flooring installation will stain and discolor the terrazzo and requires careful surface grinding to restore. Removing carpet tack strips will leave voids in terrazzo that we will fill with appropriate, matching terrazzo material.
Marble Chips can range from $16-$40 per 50lb bag
Mother of Pearl is $80 – $100 per 50lb bag
The overall square footage of the installation impacts the cost of terrazzo flooring. Because we most often install terrazzo floors on large projects, such as stadiums and schools, economies of scale usually kick in at 10,000 sq. ft. or more. That means for small projects, such as residential kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, the price per square foot will be higher than for larger jobs, such as municipal buildings. Because terrazzo flooring materials are specialized, material costs per square foot are higher for projects under a few thousand square feet. Large projects are often specified with more economical materials to reduce cost.
$30+ per square foot
$18 per square foot
There is a direct correlation between the complexity of a terrazzo flooring design and a project’s cost. One of the terrazzo’s most desirable features is its endless design flexibility. Logos and other complex designs, such as flowers, birds, and insects, are often incorporated into terrazzo flooring. Because these intricate designs require a large variety of aggregates and epoxy colors as well as custom-bent metal divider strips, floors with complex designs cost more. Terrazzo flooring cost for single-color floors with simple divider strip patterns will always be much lower than for intricate floors. Fortunately for homeowners, most residential installations tend to be simple in design.
$20 – $30 per square foot
$25 – $60 per square foot
Terrazzo material is often poured into a cove base, providing seamless transitions between the floor and walls. If you’re unfamiliar with it, a cove base is a curved molding made from terrazzo that is seamlessly integrated into the flooring system. It eliminates the sharp 90-degree transition between the floor and wall, creating a smooth, rounded edge. This molding is often used in public restrooms, hospitals or kitchens, allowing easy cleaning and preventing moisture damage to walls. Because the cove base must be sculpted and polished by hand, this addition means an increase in cost.
Additionally, terrazzo can be poured onto stair treads, covering both the horizontal and vertical planes for a sleek, continuous look. This technique creates a durable staircase, perfect for high-traffic areas. However, the intricate hand-detailing required for casting and polishing makes terrazzo staircases quite pricey.
$28 – $35 per linear foot at 6″ tall
$80 – $135 per square foot, depending on riser configuration.
One of the advantages of terrazzo flooring is the ability to customize its level of reflectivity during the polishing process. While high-gloss finishes are commonly chosen for their mirror-like appearance, satin or matte finishes are popular in modern construction for their subtle, understated elegance.
High-gloss finishes require additional polishing steps compared to matte finishes, which makes them slightly more expensive. However, the difference in cost is typically minimal, as the extra polishing is not particularly time-intensive.
$.50 to $1.00 more expensive for most floors.
Thin-set terrazzo flooring is generally installed directly on a structural concrete slab. Subfloor preparation includes grinding the existing subfloor and installing an epoxy-based primer. This primer is required to ensure a high level of adhesion between the structural concrete slab and the terrazzo flooring. Subfloor preparation for new construction will always be less expensive than renovation projects, as we must remove fewer contaminants and make fewer repairs for new construction projects.
When installing a terrazzo floor, the subfloor must be tested for moisture transmission. If the transmision of moisture is high, a moisture vapor barrier must be installed.
At Craftsman Concrete Floors, we always restore terrazzo floors correctly–with a heavy diamond grind and polish. This provides the most durable, slip-resistant terrazzo floor possible.
$1.00 to $1.50 per square foot for most floors.
When installing terrazzo flooring in a renovation project, we must carefully demolish the existing flooring to prevent damage to the subfloor.
$1.00 to $3.00 per square foot for most floors.
Basic thin-set terrazzo flooring ranges from $15-40 per square foot.
Terrazzo flooring with complex patterns can range from $25-$60 per square foot.
Terrazzo flooring with unique aggregates, intricate patterns, or smaller project sizes can cost up to $100 per square foot.
High-quality terrazzo tiles start around $18 per square foot.
Depending on size and complexity, the installation cost can be $10 – $15 per square foot.
The installation will take at least three days for small projects such as residential bathrooms or kitchens. Because terrazzo is a poured product requiring cure time, it is impossible to complete these installations in fewer days. The installation time will vary based on the overall square footage for larger jobs such as commercial buildings.
Because terrazzo flooring is extremely durable, these floors provide a long-term solution for buildings that require a very long life. In fact, for most terrazzo installations, these floors will generally exceed the usable life of the building. Terrazzo maintenance is usually as simple as sweeping, mopping, or auto-scrubbing. Because of this, the cost of a terrazzo floor across its life is generally lower than any other type of flooring. Further, for businesses that cannot accept any downtime, such as stadiums, business owners can be confident that their terrazzo flooring will be in good order throughout its service life.
