Terrazzo

Terrazzo is a composite material poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and wall treatments. It consists of marble, quartz, granite, glass or other suitable chips, sprinkled or unsprinkled, and poured with a binder that is cementitious, chemical or a combination of both. Terrazzo is cured, ground and polished to a smooth surface or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface. 

Bharat's terrazzo floors are made from top quality materials such as Italian marble, the finest white marble chips, scintilating glass or mirrors. White or cream terrazzo provides an elegant backdrop for classic or contemporary furnishings. Coloured glass creates an elegant bejewelled floor. 

Advantages of Terrazzo

  • The obvious advantage to terrazzo (besides it's beauty) is the fact it will last for centuries. However, there are a number of other good reason to choose terrazzo floors. 
  • Terrazzo is 'green' - terrazzo is the original 'green' flooring. Since it's made from all natural materials, there are no volatile organic compounds (VOC's) in terrazzo and because it's usually made from stone chips and scraps it also has a high percentage of recycled material.
  • Terrazzo is versatile - You can install terrazzo inside or outside. It was originally used in outdoor terraces and it can still be used to provide a beautiful patio or pool deck. Inside, the fact that it's waterproof makes it a good choice for installation in a bathroom or kitchen and it's ability to withstand heavy foot traffic makes it ideal for entrances.
  • Terrazzo is healthy - since it's made primarily from stone, terrazzo is bacteria resistant. As well, being stone, it's easy to clean without using any potentially hazardous chemicals, warm water and a little soap will keep it looking great for years.
  • Terrazzo has unlimited design possibilities - Most terrazzo floors are poured on site so the choice of colors, as well as the actual floor shape and design can be customized to satisfy even the most demanding architect or home owner. Every terrazzo floor is unique, so there is never a need to worry about another terrazzo floor looking the same as yours.
