Working with Terrazzo Tile Flooring – Know the Basics
Most commercial and retail establishments require flooring systems that can withstand the high volume of traffic without sacrificing aesthetic values and easy maintenance. Terrazzo tile flooring fits all three requirements perfectly. Ever since its humble beginnings, terrazzo tile flooring has been used in countless outdoor and indoor locations with great results.
Here are some basic information:
Terrazzo tile flooring can be customized
Terrazzo the material is highly customisable when it comes to colour and design so can be customised according to the colour preference of the customer. However many people think that because tiles are less fluid in terms of shape that they are not as customisable as terrazzo in situ. To a certain degree, terrazzo tile flooring can also be customised when it comes to design and pattern and thanks to recent advances in terrazzo cutting and installation, the design possibilities are also increasing.
Terrazzo tile flooring is easy to maintain
It is perfect for commercial establishments such as restaurants and other dining/drinking places because it is very easy to maintain and clean. Spills and other food accidents are easier to clean up after because it’s dense and does not absorb water or any kind of liquid. Additionally, depending on the installation method, terrazzo tile flooring can have an anti-slip finish to prevent any spills and slips when the floor is wet.
Terrazzo tile flooring is durable
Even in the most demanding environments with very high traffic volume or in outdoor applications, it’s significantly more durable and more lasting compared to other flooring systems in the market today. Moreover, as previously stated, it is dense and therefore virtually impervious to water so the chances of corroding from the inside that causes the weakening of most building materials are almost slim to none.
It can be used in a multitude of applications and areas. Furthermore, the design possibilities grow bigger with every installation, manufacturing and processing development.
