The floor is made of terrazzo---A cost-effective choice

Terrazzo, as a traditional yet modern floor material, has always held an important position in the field of architectural decoration due to its unique properties and aesthetic expression. It is not a single finished material, but an integral floor made on site through multiple processes such as spreading, curing, grinding and polishing by mixing aggregates like marble, granite and quartz stone with cementitious materials like cement and resin in proportion. This special technique endows terrazzo floors with unparalleled customization potential and rich expressiveness.

In terms of aesthetics, terrazzo flooring demonstrates extremely strong plasticity. From the simple and modern monochrome terrazzo to the retro and luxurious colored terrazzo mosaics, and then to the creative terrazzo that incorporates special elements such as metal strips and glass fragments, its decorative effects are ever-changing. It can perfectly adapt to various scenarios from public building lobbies, shopping malls, hospitals to high-end residences and cultural and creative Spaces, infusing the space with unique personality and artistic atmosphere. With the advancement of technology, the new type of terrazzo has significantly improved in color saturation, gloss and texture fineness, completely breaking away from the traditional stereotype of terrazzo as "cold and monotonous".

Practicality and durability are another important reason why terrazzo floors are so popular. After proper curing and sealing treatment, high-quality terrazzo floors have a dense and hard surface, with a Mohs hardness of 6-7, far exceeding that of ordinary floor tiles and wooden floors. They have excellent wear resistance and impact resistance, and can withstand high-frequency pedestrian traffic and heavy object pressure without being easily damaged. Its overall seamless feature not only enhances the visual coherence and tidiness, but more importantly, eliminates the hidden dangers of dirt accumulation and bacterial growth in the gaps, making the floor extremely easy to clean and maintain.

 Terrazzo flooring also has unique advantages in terms of economy. Although its initial construction cost may be higher than that of some ordinary floor tiles, from the perspective of long-term usage cost, its extremely low maintenance cost, extremely long service life (which can reach several decades or even longer, and can be restored to its original condition through re-grinding and polishing after wear), and good value retention make its overall cost performance very outstanding.

In terms of the technical aspects of construction and maintenance, terrazzo floors require professional construction teams to operate. From base treatment, fixing the grid strips, material proportioning, spreading and vibration, curing, to multiple rounds of rough grinding, fine grinding and fine grinding, and finally to sealing, curing and polishing and waxing, each step has high requirements for process accuracy, which directly affects the final quality and aesthetic appearance of the ground.

In conclusion, terrazzo flooring, with its outstanding aesthetic appeal, durability, ease of maintenance and economy, has once again regained strong vitality in contemporary architectural decoration design. It not only inherits and promotes traditional craftsmanship, but also constantly innovates through the empowerment of modern technology. Whether it is a retro space that pursues historical charm or a modern design that leads the trend, terrazzo flooring can become an indispensable finishing touch in the space with its unique appeal.
