WHAT IS EPOXY 
TERRAZZO?
Epoxy terrazzo is a thin-set flooring system, typically 1/4” 
to 3/8” thick, composed of decorative aggregates 
embedded in an epoxy resin matrix. It is one of the most 
popular choices for flooring, comprising around 90% of 
all terrazzo installations. Architects frequently specify 
epoxy terrazzo for settings like schools, hospitals, and 
airports because of its durability, sustainability, and low 
maintenance needs. The versatility of epoxy terrazzo 
allows for the creation of custom designs, with a wide 
range of colors and patterns. These designs can be 
applied to floors, stairs, walls, countertops, and more. 
From a construction standpoint, epoxy terrazzo is quick 
to install and userfriendly, adaptable for new concrete 
slabs or existing surfaces. Once installed, it offers a 
durable, cost-effective flooring solution for indoor 
environments.

Benefits of Epoxy 
Terrazzo
Epoxy terrazzo has become a top choice for flooring in 
commercial, hospitality, and institutional buildings. Its 
increasing popularity is due to its superior performance, 
costeffectiveness, and exceptional design versatility, 
offering unique flooring solutions.
Durability: Epoxy terrazzo’s high compressive, flexural, 
and tensile strengths make it ideal for high-traffic areas. 
Many older buildings have discovered terrazzo floors 
under old carpets, which can be cost-effectively 
refinished rather than replaced.
Low Maintenance: The seamless, non-porous surface of 
epoxy terrazzo prevents dirt accumulation and is easy to 
clean, making it a low-maintenance option that inhibits 
bacteria and mildew growth.
Design Flexibility: Epoxy terrazzo allows endless design 
possibilities with its customizable color and aggregate 
options. From intricate designs to minimalist aesthetics, 
terrazzo enhances any space’s visual appeal and can 
even incorporate logos or wayfinding elements.
Sustainability: Terrazzo is eco-friendly, often using 
recycled materials and VOC-free epoxy resins. This 
makes it a sustainable option that contributes to green 
building certifications and promotes better indoor air 
quality.

How to Manage 
Flooring Costs
The long-term cost of a flooring system is a crucial factor 
when selecting materials. Epoxy terrazzo, though initially 
higher in cost, offers significant savings over its lifetime 
due to its durability and low maintenance.
Key factors to manage terrazzo costs include:
Material Choices: Opt for economical aggregates like 
marble or granite, and use affordable aluminum divider 
strips to keep costs down.
Floor Design: Simplified designs with fewer colors are 
more affordable, while intricate patterns or logos 
increase the cost.
Installation: Professional installation is highly 
recommended for epoxy terrazzo, which cures quickly 
and allows spaces to be ready for use within 24 hours.
Project Size: Larger projects tend to have a lower cost 
per square foot, making terrazzo especially cost-
effective for large spaces.

zones, feature eye-catching custom designs, while 
simpler patterns are used in hallways and other 
secondary spaces. The terrazzo flooring not only
