Terrazzo floors are a durable and decorative flooring option made from chips of marble, quartz, granite, or glass set in cement or epoxy. Once the mixture hardens, the surface is polished to create a smooth, glossy finish. Known for their beauty and longevity, terrazzo floors can last for decades with minimal maintenance.
Originally developed in Italy, terrazzo has been used for centuries in homes, businesses, and public spaces. Modern terrazzo floors come in a wide range of colors and patterns, making them a popular choice for both classic and contemporary designs. Because they are seamless and non-porous, they are also resistant to stains and moisture, making them ideal for high-traffic areas.
Today, terrazzo can be installed as either cement-based terrazzo or epoxy terrazzo. Cement terrazzo is more traditional and thicker, while epoxy terrazzo is thinner, lighter, and offers more vibrant color options. Both types provide a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution that enhances any space.
Terrazzo is a preferred flooring solution in airports and transportation hubs because it effectively withstands high foot traffic while requiring minimal maintenance and repairs, helping terminals operate efficiently. Its sleek, contemporary appearance complements modern architectural designs and significantly enhances aesthetic appeal, as notably demonstrated at Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Additionally, terrazzo’s slip-resistant surface enhances safety for travelers and staff alike. Durable by nature, terrazzo flooring is also environmentally friendly—crafted from recycled materials, contributing positively to sustainability objectives.
Terrazzo flooring is commonly chosen by educational institutions such as Providence High School and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where high durability and longevity are paramount. This premium surface efficiently withstands decades of heavy foot traffic, allowing schools and universities across North Carolina to maintain their facilities with minimal maintenance and lower long-term costs. Additionally, terrazzo’s customizable appearance and sustainable qualities—frequently incorporating recycled materials—support institutions’ commitments to environmental responsibility.
Museums and cultural institutions often utilize terrazzo flooring because of its exceptional versatility in customizable design, allowing spaces to thoughtfully reflect artistic and cultural themes. In prominent high-traffic facilities such as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Government Center, terrazzo provides long-lasting durability while requiring minimal maintenance. Additionally, terrazzo flooring enhances the visual appeal of galleries and exhibition areas through its beautifully decorative surface options and seamless finishes, making it ideal for institutions that emphasize sophisticated aesthetics and timeless design.
Terrazzo’s hypoallergenic and mold-resistant properties make it particularly beneficial for environments that prioritize health, safety, and cleanliness, including hospitals and schools. Its non-porous composition naturally inhibits bacterial growth, significantly reducing allergen accumulation and mold issues. Additionally, terrazzo surfaces are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring a consistently hygienic environment, enhancing indoor air quality, and providing peace of mind for facility managers and occupants alike.
Terrazzo surfaces offer impressive chemical and stain resistance due to their non-absorbent characteristics, allowing for easier cleaning and maintenance. For highly demanding applications or specialized environments—such as laboratories, healthcare facilities, or industrial settings—terrazzo can also be treated with advanced chemical-resistant sealers. This enhanced durability ensures the surface withstands harsh substances and retains its aesthetic appeal while maintaining a hygienic environment over the long term.
Terrazzo flooring offers exceptional durability and longevity, making it an ideal choice for high-traffic commercial, industrial, and institutional settings. Designed to last over 100 years, terrazzo withstands scratches, cracks, and impacts from heavy machinery, equipment, and vehicle traffic. Its enduring nature minimizes the need for frequent repairs or replacements, translating directly into lower lifecycle costs and lasting value for building owners and facility managers.
