How Long Do Terrazzo Floors Last?

How long do terrazzo floors last?

 

An epoxy terrazzo floor can last the lifetime of any building structure. Generally, terrazzo floors will last between 40 to 100 years – sometimes even longer than 100 years with the proper care.

Are Terrazzo Floors Slippery?

The slipperiness of terrazzo is dependent on the type of sealer used. The natural surface of terrazzo is non-slippery. When installing epoxy terrazzo, it is important to check the manufacturer’s label for more details; details that indicate that a floor is non-slippery when wet.

 

To get more details about slip-resistant terrazzo floors, owners and facilities managers can speak with a terrazzo-approved contractor.

Should I Wax a Terrazzo Floor?

When maintaining a terrazzo floor, wax should never be used. The use of wax on a terrazzo floor can cause the surface to be slippery and dully affect the sheen of the polished surface.

What Should I Do If I Find Cracks in the Terrazzo Floor?

While it is rare for cracks to form in an epoxy terrazzo floor, they can still occur. But it’s not hard to fix.

 

Terrazzo can be repaired at a fraction of the cost of installation. In the instances where improper installation or improper care happens, a terrazzo contractor can repair or repolish the surface to its original luster.

 

A Concord Terrazzo Company representative can discuss repair options for terrazzo with facilities managers. Contact us for more information.

Can Epoxy Terrazzo Be Used over Existing Floors?

TERRAZZCO EZPour Epoxy 158 can be poured directly over an existing surface such as concrete, plywood, wood, and metal so long as the underlying substrate is strong and structural sound.

 

This can help save contractors time and costs to demolition the subfloor.

 

We do not advise using TERRAZZCO Epoxy Resins over soft materials such as carpet, vinyl, or VCT. Contact a terrazzo-approved contractor to learn more about applying epoxy terrazzo over an existing floor.
