Terrazzo is a mixture of concrete, chips, glass, and epoxy formed in blocks, generally two by 4, with metal dividers.
Terrazzo, installed in the 1950s and 1960s, is known as concrete Terrazzo, which naturally allows grinding and polishing.
Today, Terrazzo is generally known as epoxy terrazzo, which is mixed with epoxy and chips or glass. This Terrazzo receives a top-coat sealer to make the Terrazzo shine.
No matter what type of terrazzo floor you have, we have the experience to restore it to its original beauty and luster.
How We Identify When Your Terrazzo Floors Need Restoration
Terrazzo-like marble will show signs of wear and tear after some time.
Depending on how your Terrazzo is maintained and the amount of traffic will determine the restoration needed.
Terrazzo maintenance will pay dividends in costs vs restoration.
Cracks and holes are among the most common terrazzo repair issues we find on our clients’ floors. Next is dullness and loss of shine.
This can be fixed by honing a couple of grits and powder polishing. If it is epoxy terrazzo, scrubbing and re-coat will generally restore the floor to its original look.
Terrazzo flooring is suitable for both commercial and residential floors. Its look and durability make it an ideal choice for business owners and homeowners.
Terrazzo staining can be challenging to repair, depending on the type of stain and its duration.

Our Sealer Choice
At JK Concrete Polishing, knowledge is critical to appreciating the value of terrazzo restoration. Let’s explore the various types of terrazzo you might encounter:
Two Main Categories of Terrazzo
There are two primary categories of terrazzo flooring:
1. Cementitious Terrazzo: Also known as cement terrazzo, this type is ideal for renovation projects and exterior applications. Its heavier weight and thicker profile distinguish it from epoxy-based terrazzo.
2. Epoxy-based Terrazzo: This modern variant is lighter and thinner, making it suitable for various interior applications.
Five Specific Types of Terrazzo
Within these broad categories, terrazzo can be further classified into five distinct types:
1. Sand Cushion Terrazzo: This system uses a half-inch cement matrix topping. It’s known for its durability and is often used in high-traffic areas.
2. Bonded Terrazzo: Similar to sand cushion, this type uses a half-inch cement matrix topping.
However, it’s bonded directly to the concrete slab, making it suitable for multi-story buildings.
3. Monolithic Terrazzo This type is applied directly to a concrete slab, creating a seamless surface.
It’s an excellent choice for areas where minimal floor thickness is required.
4. Rustic Terrazzo: This type features a textured finish, making it ideal for outdoor applications where slip resistance is crucial.
5. Thin-Set Epoxy Terrazzo: This modern variant uses epoxy resin instead of cement, allowing for thinner application and a more comprehensive range of color options.
