Advantages of a Terrazzo Floor

Terrazzo flooring is a beautifully designed floor that offers environmentally friendly surfacing. Terrazzo floors offer some of the strongest technology, capable of holding 500 pounds per square. Modern terrazzo floors are created using a combination of different stones which are placed into cement and molded into place. This provides many different advantages. Among these include: 

· Long Lasting – Terrazzo is among the most long-lasting flooring, very durable and very dense. It is a good type of flooring for kitchen spaces and for hallways. When properly maintained it can last for the life of the home or building it is placed in.

· Easy to Maintain – Terrazzo is also very easy to maintain. Mostly it requires simple sweeping to remove dust and other particles. Abrasive cleaning agents can damage the floor and are generally not recommended.

· Density and Thickness – Terrazzo floors are very dense, so water generally cannot penetrate the floors. If sealed properly, the floor will not harbor bacteria, making this a good floor for anyone prone to allergies.

· Environmentally Friendly – Terrazzo floors are very environmentally friendly as these floors are made from all natural materials including stone, marble and sand.

Terrazzo floors can offer a more slippery floor than some other surfaces, depending on the type of stone used when creating the floor. Like any flooring it is important to walk with care after cleaning to prevent spills and slips. The surface of the floor is hard and can require additional padding if you are standing on it for long periods of time. 

Terrazzo floors must also be professionally installed, so they may be more expensive than traditional floors to install. However, once installed these floors require very little upkeep and repairs, and will last for the life of the unit installed in.
