Benefits of Choosing Terrazzo Flooring

2021-06-22

Taking on a terrazzo project comes with various benefits. This process provides tremendous aesthetic flexibility and opportunities for creativity. Terrazzo flooring not only enables you to let your imagination run wild, but its surfaces are relatively low maintenance, low in cost, and using the cement or epoxy methods result in an easy to clean surface that’s durable and long lasting. Three specific benefits are as follows:

Low Maintenance

If you are looking to keep repair costs low over time, then there is no better option than terrazzo. All you really need is a mop, a bucket of warm water and a neutral cleaner to care for a terrazzo floor. Not many flooring options can match terrazzo’s durability. Expect to see minimal issues with cracking and stains over time. By applying a new sealer on occasion, it protects the floor from heavy wear and stains. Also, one of the best features about epoxy terrazzo is that it is a seamless floor. No need to worry about clearing out grout either.

Environmentally Friendly

Another feature of terrazzo is its sustainability. Made from recycled materials such as pre-consumer and post-consumer glass, terrazzo floors lives up to its reputation of environmentally friendly. Some architects and designers are seeking LEED-certified materials to build their next building. One thing they will check is the volatile organic compound content for each floor. Terrazzo floors are VOC-free, meaning they hold 15 grams or lower in VOC components. When floors are VOC free, you can expect a better quality environment for people to thrive in. As a result, a flooring option like terrazzo can do wonders over a lifetime as it consumes fewer resources than other floors and promotes a healthier standard of living.

Endless Possibilities

When we refer to terrazzo as having endless possibilities, we really mean it. It is hard to find two projects that look similar. Designers have so many options to choose from when using terrazzo. Not only can they select a range of aggregates but the epoxy resins supply them with any color. Depending on how the designer wants the space to look, he or she really has no excuse in finding the exact materials needed to execute the project. Terrazzo suits anyone with a brilliant design idea and wants to enact upon it.
