Elegant and timeless, with endless design possibilities, Terrazzo has proven to endure and perform for more than 500 years. Today’s terrazzo is an environmentally friendly material with optimum durability and low maintenance. Terrazzo can consist of marble, quartz, granite aggregate, mother-of-pearl and/or pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled glass, porcelain and mirror chips, which are mixed with cement or epoxy and polished to produce a smooth, uniformly textured surface for floors, walls, stairs, curbs, counter-tops and even ceilings. Comprised of zero VOC materials, terrazzo exhibits little or no off-gassing over the life of the cured floor. The non-porous finish doesn’t support microbial growth, nor allow moisture to accumulate, helping to maintain a mold-free environment with improved indoor air quality.
Terrazzo in the hands of an NTMA contractor is truly the art of craft.
