TERRAZZO FLOORING - OVERVIEW

• Terrazzo flooring is made of composite material.
  It is made up of any kind of blend of epoxy resin
  or concrete along with aggregate chips like
  marble or stone. It can be poured as concrete or
  laid out in tiles, and it can be used both inside
  and outside.

• Terrazzo flooring originally used mainly in
  commercial structures, it has gained popularity
  in homes as a surface for kitchen surfaces like
  Terrazzo countertops and backsplashes in addition
  to being used as flooring. There are many
  different design options available due to the
  interchangeable colours and flecks. Terrazzo
  floors are typically relatively light and
  long-lasting.

Because there is no scouring, polishing, or
scrubbing required, terrazzo floors are simple to
maintain.
Terrazzo flooring have countless customization
options.
They are challenging to stain because of their
speckled texture and sturdy base material.
Terrazzo flooring is non-porous and
mold-resistant when it is properly sealed.
Terrazzo is used so frequently in institutional
and commercial buildings because it is made of
hardy materials like cement and is incredibly
durable.
Elegant and classic with countless design
options.

Low lifecycle and maintenance costs.
The lowest maintenance cost of any hard surface
flooring and excellent chemical resistance.
Improved performance and consistency of color.
High productivity is made possible by quick
treatment and quick turnaround.
In-situ applications guarantee a monolithic
surface while saving time, money, and other
resources.
Terrazzo flooring contribute to the essence of
green buildings because they can practically last
the life of the building. Better anti-slip
qualities are known to be present in terrazzo
floors.

TERRAZZO FLOORING TYPES
02

• New trends bring new technologies, and resin
  systems are currently revolutionising the
  creation, application, and use of terrazzo
  surfaces. With cementitious terrazzo and
  epoxy-based terrazzo as the two primary options,

10
Epoxy Terrazzo
Epoxy Terrazzo has the benefit of being applied
more quickly. A remarkably thin-set system that
produces a smooth and opulent floor finish is
made possible by using an epoxy matrix to bind
aggregates. A quicker project turnaround is
possible thanks to this system's ability to cure
overnight and be polished the following day. For
busy shopping centres, this application is
perfect.
11
Cement Terrazzo
Sand cushion, bonded, rustic, monolithic, and
polyacrylate systems are just a few of the
terrazzo systems that are referred to as
cementitious terrazzo, which is a type of
flooring that uses a cement matrix. Cement
Terrazzo works best for remodelling and exterior
projects. This system is frequently heavier and
thicker.

APPLICATION

Bonded and unbonded installation techniques are
available for terrazzo. Bonded systems include
those that are chemically bonded, monolithic,
bonded under the bed, and the most recent
thin-set technique (epoxy resin). A concrete slab
serves as the foundation for the bed, which is
covered with bonded terrazzo.
The finished concrete slab that it sits on can
vary thanks to the sand-cement layer. Direct
application of monolithic terrazzo is done over a
very flat, superior-grade concrete subfloor. A
concrete sub-floor is not necessary for thin-set
terrazzo. Instead, a flexible membrane can be put
in place to prevent surface cracks. The sand
cushion method, which uses wire reinforcing, an
isolation sheet, and sand dusting to absorb any
movement from the concrete slab, is one example
of unbonded.
