Why Terrazzo?
Discover the benefits of choosing terrazzo for your project.
Terrazzo is easily customizable to any project and is pleasing to the eye. Terrazzo is also more environmentally friendly than traditional flooring systems and is incredibly easy to clean. Let’s take a look at why Fribel’s terrazzo is the preferred flooring system in many commercial projects.
Aesthetics
Over the years, we’ve learned to never tell an architect that “it can’t be done.” Terrazzo brings a flexibility to design that is not available in other flooring systems. With an unlimited color range, coupled with a plethora of aggregate options ranging from mother of pearl to marble and recycled glass — these are the among the many advantages offered by choosing terrazzo.
Sanitation
Terrazzo is a non-porous flooring system that does not support microbial growth nor does it accumulate moisture. Water absorption rate in our terrazzo is 1/10th of that in cementitious terrazzo, which allows it to have an abnormally high resistance to stains. Thus, terrazzo requires minimal cleaning processes without the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.
Eco-friendly material
Because terrazzo can literally last for hundreds of years, terrazzo will never end up in your local landfill. Some terrazzo materials can also be made with post-consumer and recycled content.
