What is Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is a composite material created by mixing coarse aggregates with concrete, which is then polished to expose the aggregates in a random or designed pattern on the surface.
The images above showcase some of the-in-situ terrazzo flooring projects we have completed.
The technique of terrazzo dates back to the ancient mosaics of Egypt, but it was in 18th century Italy, particularly Venice, that the modern form of terrazzo truly developed.
While terrazzo is experiencing a resurgence as a premium choice for flooring, tabletops, countertops, and wall finishes, it is not a new material to us. Many of us have fond memories of terrazzo floors from our childhood homes or those we visited, often referred to as 'mosaic.'
Variations in Terrazzo
Standard Terrazzo
Standard terrazzo is the most commonly encountered type. It features natural stone or aggregates randomly distributed within a cement base, which can come in various colors, as shown in the images below. Although, the colors of the stone and glass chips are somewhat limited. You can experiment with the concentration and sizes of the chips to create a distinctive appearance.
Scarpa Terrazzo
​
Scarpa Terrazzo, features marble or other natural stone inlays arranged in geometric or organic shapes throughout the floor. The terrazzo material is poured between these inlays, resulting in a visually striking finish.
Epoxy Terrazzo
Epoxy Terrazzo is a flooring system that utilizes a resinous epoxy base combined with fine marble or other powders to create an opaque appearance. Similar to traditional terrazzo, aggregates are incorporated. This type of terrazzo offers quick installation times, making it ideal for large commercial projects, though it typically costs about twice more than regular terrazzo.

At Jyamiti & Sea, we do not offer epoxy terrazzo installation services.

FAQs
Q. Where do we provide our cast-in-situ terrazzo flooring services?
A. Cast-in-situ terrazzo flooring services are currently available across India
​
Q. Do we make terrazzo floor tiles?
A. At the moment we are not doing Terrazzo or any kind of cement based tiles.
​
Q. How long does terrazzo flooring take?
A. Terrazzo flooring will take a minimum of about 20 days for a small space measuring less than 500 sq ft and will take more time if the area is bigger. Also, certain terrazzo designs take more time to prepare, cast and polish. Since a lot of terrazzo work is about the details, it is difficult to work with a very crunched timeline.
​
Q. What are the colours possible?
A. Pigments are added to give the cement it's colour. A broad range of colours are possible by mixing different pigements. While our aim is to achieve the intended colour perfectly, because the mixing process is manual, and because cement at times do not interact in the same way with pigment and also at times because of variations in the raw pigment itself, some variation in the shade of the colour can be expected. As a result, it is better to have an open mind to this variation when you are looking for terrazzo.
Normally, aggregates in terrazzo are either natural stones, glass or a mix of both.
Natural stones are available broadly in six colours - white, black, maroon/red, yellow, dark green and pink/peach. Glasses are normally available in transparent, brown, green, olive green and dark blue. Light blue glasses are also available, but are rarer to find. That said, at times, other shades of glasses might be possible to be sourced as well.
​
Q. Are terrazzo floors porous and absorb spilt liquid and stain?
A. Naturally, yes, they are. However, sealants are applied nowadays to make the floor stain and liquid resistant to a large extent.
​
Q. Will a terrazzo floor crack?
A. Yes, terrazzo floors will develop cracks at some point, probably.
However, over time we have developed our techniques and materials that are much less prone to cracks than a regularly executed terrazzo floor. That said, it's best to take a few cracks as part of the terrazzo floor aesthetics.
​
Q. Is terrazzo floor seamless?
A. Yes, terrazzo is much more seamless than a floor executed by laying tiles. It is advisable to break the floor using spacers into smaller segments to reduce the chances of cracking.
​
Q. Is terrazzo floor difficult to maintain?
A. Not at all. Mostly terrazzo needs a good mopping on a daily basis, which is anyways done in most households or commercial spaces. A well mopped floor develops its own shine and water / stain resistance over a period of time.
