Polished Terrazzo: Durable, Custom & Sustainable Stone

Overview of Polished Terrazzo

With polished terrazzo, you'll have a timeless, luminous surface made of recycled aggregate and cement, finished with high-gloss milling that won't wear, stain or fade. Polished terrazzo has excellent durability and impact-resistance, is easy to clean and maintain, and offers outstanding indoor air quality. The wide variety of colour combinations minimally enhances the appearance of your project if it is located within a modern building with heavy flow through it. Polished terrazzo can be used for flooring, walls, and/or countertops for select types of projects.

Advantages of Polished Terrazzo

Durability

Because of their durability and hardness, polished terrazzo is especially well-suited for high-traffic areas. Polished terrazzo does not require extensive maintenance because it resists cracking or fading after years of use, while still providing an attractive finish. The substantial composition of the terrazzo allows for a long-lasting life cycle in commercial, hospitality and residential settings.

Aesthetic Appeal

Polished terrazzo provides a sophisticated, upscale appearance with a high-gloss finish that reflects light, creates an illusion of larger spaces and works well with a wide range of styles including modern lofts as well as traditional styles, making it an enduring statement piece.

Customization and Versatility

With terrazzo, there is great flexibility in customization including color mixes, aggregate sizes and finishing options that allow for very specific branding and zoning. This adaptability will continue regardless if it is being used on floors, walls, or counter tops and in either a bolder or subtler design scheme.

Maintenance and Sustainability

The use of polished terrazzo also promotes sustainability through the use of recycled aggregates and by using durable materials that require fewer replacements, thus creating less waste; by providing a smooth, sealed surface it is easy to clean with only soap and water and does not become stained or lose its shine when maintained properly using gentle chemicals.

Polished Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a composite surface made of recycled aggregate and cement, or resin binder compounded together to form a solid surface that is polished out to a smooth, shiny finish. Terrazzo can be either cast in slabs or poured in place to provide seamless floors and walls along with the ability to easily add underfloor heating. With a long lifespan, low maintenance, and a variety of customization options, terrazzo continues to be an excellent choice for sustainable design in high-traffic areas. Its stain-resistant properties will enable your spaces to remain fresh and vibrant.

F&Q About Polished Terrazzo

What are the installation requirements for polished terrazzo?

The installation of polished terrazzo flooring must be performed on a clean substrate with proper curing and skilled workmanship; thickness will depend on specified system; expansion joints should be detailed out ahead of time; moisture barriers and underlayment should be installed prior to installation to promote optimal longevity and an uneven surface.
Use a neutral pH cleaner for cleaning; do not use acid based cleaners or abrasive scrubbers. Regularly dust, damp mop and have floor periodically resealed to keep it glossy and wipe up spills right away to prevent staining of floor and to prevent the floor from losing its shine.
Certainly! You have the option of selecting from a wide range of aggregates, colors and finishes. You can also choose whether to have the terrazzo cast in the field or formed into slabs, thus allowing your branding, wayfinding and architectural elements to be seamlessly integrated while maintaining identical performance characteristics.
Terrazzo that has been fully finished can successfully resist moisture when properly installed and sealed. However, the type of binder and how the floor is installed will affect your installation performance. Confirm with your installer that the underfloor heat system is compatible with the terrazzo system you are using, and perform ongoing maintenance to promote long-term durability and resist shrinkage.
