Introduction to Epoxy Terrazzo
Terrazzo is a very adaptable architectural material that was created in the 15th century by Venetian mosaic artists and utilized for indoor counters, walls, and floors. Terrazzo can be laid with precast or poured in place. Marble, quartz, granite, or glass chips mixed with an epoxy or cementitious binder make up terrazzo. Epoxy terrazzo systems, a green building material for use in sustainable building projects, are currently extensively deployed throughout the world. Terrazzo floors are frequently found in office lobbies, hospitals, airports, universities, and other commercial buildings.

At Epic Polish, we believe terrazzo is the perfect solution for any project, be it commercial, residential, or institutional. Here’s why terrazzo is the preferred flooring system in many projects.
One of the most compelling reasons to choose terrazzo is its unparalleled aesthetic appeal. Terrazzo provides limitless design possibilities, making it an architect’s dream.

The flexibility in design ensures that terrazzo can create visually stunning and unique floors that enhance the overall ambiance of any space.
Terrazzo is a non-porous flooring system, making it exceptionally hygienic. It does not support microbial growth and resists moisture accumulation, making it highly resistant to stains. The water absorption rate of our epoxy terrazzo is significantly lower than that of cementitious terrazzo, which means it requires minimal cleaning without the need for harsh chemicals. This makes terrazzo an ideal choice for environments where cleanliness is paramount, such as hospitals, laboratories, and food preparation areas.
Terrazzo is an environmentally sustainable flooring option. Its durability means it can last for hundreds of years, significantly reducing the need for replacement and preventing it from ending up in landfills. Additionally, terrazzo can be made with post-consumer and recycled materials, further enhancing its eco-friendly credentials. Choosing terrazzo contributes to green building practices and helps achieve LEED certification for sustainable construction projects.
Terrazzo can be customized to fit any design requirement, offering endless possibilities for creativity.
