While design flexibility is one of the major selling points of Terrazzo, there are quite a number of reasons why it is the better choice.

Terrazzo flooring systems have an almost unlimited color range and a wide variety of aggregate materials that can be used to further customize the design of your floors. Additionally, because of the many installation methods, the design possibilities are further increased. You can choose a subtler, minimalistic approach or go for bolder, more complex design layout. You can opt for the modern or go for the classic.
Now let’s focus on Terrazzo flooring systems being almost maintenance free. Whether installed in a low or high traffic area, there’s very little upkeep needed to care for Terrazzo floors. Unlike other flooring systems such as hardwood, carpet, and ceramic tiling, Terrazzo requires very minimal cleaning. Additionally, it lasts for a really long time. In fact, there are ancient terrazzo floors that are still intact up to this day. Which brings us to another great benefit in using terrazzo floors – it is environmentally, the best choice because of its impressive sustainability and durability. In some cases, certain materials like old glass bottles can be incorporated into the terrazzo mix therefore adding to its unique aesthetic whilst promoting the use of recyclable materials.
