Terrazzo materials 

Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a compounded type of material that is extensively used for wall and floor treatments. It is primarily made up of granite, glass, quartz and chips of marble and is made by pouring with a cementitious or polymeric binder or a mix of both. Venetian construction workers are credited with the creation of terrazzo, which was generally considered an affordable flooring option. Terrazzo originates from Italy. First Class Terrazzo maintains a strong relationship today with Italian leaders in the industry.  

Pre-cast terrazzo

One big advantage of pre-cast terrazzo units is that it can be moulded into any shape or size, based on the requirement and the application. Everything can be factory polished in a ready to install condition. Known for its long lasting nature, pre-cast terrazzo units can be easily cleaned using warm water and neutral detergent (pH7).

In situ terrazzo

In situ terrazzo is a composite material poured in place, which is used for floor and wall treatments. It is essentially made of marble, quartz, granite and other suitable materials. In order to attain a uniformly textured surface, it is cured, grounded and polished.

Resin-based terrazzo

This type of flooring material lasts for a long time and requires very little maintenance. It offers an elegant finish that does not easily crack. Although, it is relatively expensive when compared to some of the other flooring options, the stunning finish that it offers makes it an excellent investment. Routine maintenance should make sure it remains durable for a long time. Widely used in the high footfall areas, it is commonly preferred type of flooring for offices and entrance areas.
