Title block: Why Terrazzo

INDESTRUCTIBLE
Terrazzo stands alone as a premier flooring system. This virtually ageless flooring material is composed of marble chips or other aggregates set within a matrix of a binding medium, such as epoxy or cement. Terrazzo floors in some parts of Europe are still in use and still as attractive centuries after their installation.

ADAPTABLE
Terrazzo's flexibility of application, vast color selection and compatibility with other materials make it a leading choice for new construction as well as renovations. Terrazzo's texture can be anything from sleek and smooth to rough and rustic or anything in between.The look of terrazzo enhances other materials; glass, wood, metal, masonry or synthetic.

COLORFUL
Terrazzo's color choices are unlimited. The broad spectrum of natural marble and aggregates combine to give architects, designers and builders an enormous range of color possibilities. Terrazzo can be matched to any PMS color.

ORIGINAL
Terrazzo is a poured-in-place system and can achieve the most imaginative of design possibilities. Through the creative use of divider strips, color, texture and dimension — our highly skilled installation team can perfectly interpret any pattern or design.

SANITARY
Terrazzo is easy to clean and maintain because it is seamless. It is ideal for hospitals, restaurants, supermarkets and anywhere sanitary conditions are of paramount concern.

SAFE
Terrazzo can comply with any safety concern. Fireproof, Non-slip, Sanitary, and can be made Conductive. Terrazzo has important safety advantages that should be taken into consideration when planning any application.

COMFORTABLE
Terrazzo, according to U.S. Bureau of Standards (Report No. BMS 14) has, for all practical purposes affecting human fatigue, no less “give” under the foot, than wood, asphalt, tile or even regular inlaid linoleum.

ECONOMICAL
Terrazzo is the most cost-efficient flooring material available. It offers the beauty and elegance of solid marble and granite at a fraction of the cost. Because terrazzo doesn't wear out like tile or need replacement every few years like carpet, it truly is the economical flooring alternative.
