Epoxy

Epoxy terrazzo is the most commonly used terrazzo material for interior applications. It is incredibly durable and relatively easy to install compared to polyacrylate and cement terrazzo systems, and it can be installed at a thickness as little as 3/8 inch. Epoxy
terrazzo systems are commonly installed over crack-suppression membranes and
moisture-mitigation systems to maximize long-term performance and longevity. Epoxy terrazzo is best utilized in large public spaces and commercial applications. It can be pigmented to mimic nearly any color in the terrazzo matrix and can accept marble, glass, seashell, and other decorative aggregates. Its primary drawback is that it is limited to interior applications only.

Cement

Cement terrazzo installations are prominent throughout California and beyond. Cement terrazzo is the original terrazzo installation method, with a history going back centuries, and it was the primary system used until the 1990s, when epoxy terrazzo became widely used and accepted.

We recommend cement terrazzo for exterior, commercial, and public applications where slip resistance is a must. Cement terrazzo is also a great option for repairing or restoring existing cement terrazzo installations.

Polyacrylate

We recommend polyacrylate terrazzo systems for residential applications where the customer is looking to seamlessly marry interior and exterior spaces. The minimum thickness for a polyacrylate terrazzo installation is 1/2 inch. The system also includes a crack-isolation membrane and a moisture-mitigation system to support long-term
performance.
