From Terrazzo & Marble Supply

Learning Objectives

1. Learn how to today’s terrazzo floors are sustainable2. Explore the components of how terrazzo can

contribute to LEED points3. To learn about the benefits of health, safety and

welfare by using terrazzo in healthcare settingswelfare by using terrazzo in healthcare settings4. Learn how to maximize terrazzo sustainable design

flexibility in healthcare settings

Original Recycled Floor

Terrazzo is Italian word for “terrace” Marble chips bi-product ofbi product of marble manufacturing process Combined with a binder similar to today’s Portland Cement

Ground and polished by hand with a abrasive

Terrazzo Today

Primarily epoxy matrix Marble, granite, glass or other chips Zinc brassZinc, brass, aluminum or plastic divider strips Optional crack isolation membrane & moisture vapor primer Ground & polished in place

The National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association (NTMA) conducted an extensive study, compiling statistics from its own membership, the Institutional Research Associates, US Government Agencies, Sanitary Supply Organization and other agencies, to determine the national average for installation, maintenance and replacement costs of various typical finishes used in hospitals, schools and other institutional facilities.

This survey has been updated by Terrazzo & Marble Supply (T&M) based upon our own market experiences and customer input (1/10).
