Forget Terrazzo: 3 Replacements You Need Now!

November 21, 2017

Ever wondered about alternative flooring options? Tired of feeling like terrazzo is the only way? You are not alone! Many designers and project managers run into the “terrazzo alternatives” problem everyday.

There are some facts to keep in mind when you’re weighing different options.

First of all, terrazzo alternatives are typically going to cost you less than terrazzo floors.

Second, and to piggyback on its cost-effectiveness, ceramic options typically come in tile form; which means it can be installed pretty much anywhere and can be customized to fit most any space. Alternatively, terrazzo is created on-site (more or less) and takes a team of skilled workers to install it properly.

Lastly, one thing terrazzo and terrazzo alternatives do have in common is their durability standards. A lot of ceramic tile options are being offered with double-decade (or more) warranties. With this kind of sustainability, it is simple to understand why the most economical decision is to side with terrazzo alternatives.
