Terrazzo flooring is made by combining either concrete or epoxy with marble chips. This is a poured flooring which is then ground flat and polished out. It can come in any color or design imaginable. Terrazzo flooring is referred to as a "lifetime floor" because it will last the lifetime of the building it is in without needing to be replaced. Central Tile is one of the few certified installers of this flooring in Michigan and a proud member of the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association.
Fact: During the lifetime of a building, the total cost of maintaining or replacing flooring can multiply as much as 35 times the initial cost of the flooring. Tempted by alternatives like carpet, ceramic tile, vinyl or wood, that might be less expensive to install? Think ahead. Heavy traffic and messy weather are part of a building's life, day in and day out. Terrazzo floors are the enduring choice.
With unlimited design and color options, terrazzo is an architect's dream. From elegant geometric patterns, bold graphics and school mascots, terrazzo transforms a simple corridor or entryway into a space of elegance and power. The only limit is your imagination.
Clean, safe corridors and indoor air quality are essential. Terrazzo's non-porous surface resists microbes and moisture accumulation, essential for a mold-free, healthy environment. And because it's seamless, maintenance is as easy as periodic sweeping, damp mopping and machine cleaning.
