How did this vintage flooring type move from under our feet and right into our hearts? And on our stationery, our walls, lampshades, countertops and even as a pattern on clothing?! According to the Pinterest-100, an annual trend-predicting report, searches for “terrazzo” jumped 318 percent in late 2017. And the popularity continues to build.

Frankly, at Bizaillion Stone Floor Restoration, we’re not surprised. Here’s why.

Terrazzo is a composite material traditionally featuring a medley of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass and shells poured with a cement or epoxy binder. It is a flooring choice that has been popular for large public spaces like restaurants, airports and even schools for years because of its incredible durability. And because it is typically poured into a cast, it does not have grout lines, making its upkeep even easier!

Reasons We Love Terrazzo

For the record, At Bizaillion Stone Floor Restoration, we loved terrazzo before it was trendy. In fact, we’re crazy about the stuff. But not in a weird way. Here’s why:

  1. Terrazzo is durable. In fact, terrazzo is one of the most durable flooring materials available today. Once sealed properly, the material is impervious to water and stain damage. It also does not chip away like other materials. Which leads us to #2.
  2. Terrazzo is a good value. Let us explain. The price per square foot is higher than some other materials, but because terrazzo is so durable (rarely needs repairs), it’s a great long-term investment
  3. Terrazzo is environmentally friendly. Terrazzo is a beneficial material that can help in the design of sustainable buildings. To preserve scarce materials, it is a great alternative to other flooring types. It can consist of recycled materials that have a positive impact on the health of people and the environment.
  4. Terrazzo is versatile. Since terrazzo is comprised of marble, granite, quartz, or glass chips in an epoxy resin binder, it allows for a lot of variation in color and movement. Because the surface is manufactured by mixing these different elements together, you can choose almost any design. Seals, logos, sparkle, no sparkle…the sky is the limit!

How to Care for Your Terrazzo Floor

Just like marble and travertine, your floors will eventually need professional cleaning in order to look their best. Terrazzo cleaning by Bizaillion Stone Floor Restoration is the way to go because, as we have mentioned, we know terrazzo.

Our commercial-grade equipment produces a better result than anything you could accomplish on your own. Our special cleaners emulsify grease and dirt build-up, lifting it from the surface of the floor.

A properly restored Terrazzo floor will look beautiful for up to 10-20 years, making it one of the easiest floors to maintain. Talk about great value! When we restore a floor, we strip off all the wax and diamond hone the floors to reveal the original stone. We have a whole process for cleaning, honing, polishing and sealing that we find fascinating! We know not everyone finds conversation about diamond abrasive pads and lippage removal stimulating.
