What They Do

Terrazzo workers and finishers create distinctive, long-lasting decorative surfaces by applying and polishing specialized materials in commercial and residential buildings. They begin by preparing surfaces, often grinding down existing floors or pouring underlayments to create a smooth base. Workers then mix and pour terrazzo, which combines cement or epoxy resins with marble chips, glass, or other aggregates in various colors and sizes to achieve specific design patterns. They carefully place divider strips to separate colors and designs, then spread the terrazzo mixture evenly across floors, stairs, walls, or countertops.
