SUPER
Very good nice work and professional trainer .good luck
Thank you for the feedback. Our trainer has been installing terrazzo since childhood. He is quite knowledgable and skilled in the field.
You missed an important step on the installation, which is broadcasting the floor with chips. This step is so important to have a uniform floor.
Great work.
I don’t miss the days working in terrazzo but glad the art is still being done.
Starlite....where you do Terrazzo at? Back in the 80s? Lots of cement Terrazzo back then ........seed it (broadcast) and roll it...big ol oak handles...
Did I tell you about the time I believed in alien abduction for a few moments...
We were rolling some sidewalk in Glendale CA me and my buddy...we just got of break and got back to rolling...in So. California it gets warm so cement goes off fast... anyway...we just started rolling again and I heard that big oak handle drop...so just out of curiosity I turned around to see why he dropped his handle....AND HE WAS GONE! What an errie feeling swept over me ...so I creep over there and he stepped in one of those water meter hollows..all's I could see was the top of his head about six inches under finish floor height!.... Had to yank his skinny ass outta there by the top of his hair...good thing he wasn't Bald!
@@ericunderwood1482 That is a legit cool story Bro!.....I hope he thanked you for saving his skinny ass!
@@mrwolf750 I'm glad you enjoyed that ...ya know I should publish a book on Job Stories...I got some good ones... just for the helluva it ...here's another one... remember Scooby Doo cartoons...when Scooby See's a Ghost and he goes four different directions at once...bah!
I was a green horn in the trade learning...
We were installing the main lobby in the 75 story skyscraper downtown LA... awesome high end job, won NTMA Job of the year award 1989... Anyway high pressure job...the main brain office that holds all the controls for the building called for a Terrazzo threshold the two doors to the entrance were like 12 feet high ...so we were busy in the main lobby..The project manager comes storming in on us and says to my Mechanic yelling at him..." I NEED YOU TO GO DOWN AND INSTALL THAT THRESHOLD TO THE COMPUTER ROOM RIGHT NOW!" ... The fire Marshall is coming tommorow and we're doing a smoke check on the building. Lanny stands up squares off on him folds his arms and says really cool ....No! I don't like the way your talking to me! You could hear a pin drop. The project manager starts to boil turns red as a Corvette and leaps up in the air and did his Scooby Doo.... bah! and went four different directions at once in a suit!
I couldn't believe it.... anyway the project manager storms away...going to call the our office ....Lanny turns to me and says ...go put that in Eric!
That's the first piece of Terrazzo I ever did....came out like shit! Too rich! Not enough marble....
@@ericunderwood1482 Nice one Eric, I got a laugh out of that too. You should write that book!
Ps...They deserved the Sh@tty job!
you dont seed epoxy terrazzo. I dont even seed cement based terrazzo
Vielen Dank für das inspirierende Video auf Terrazzo! Ich habe es sehr genossen, vor allem den Abschnitt von 0:10 bis 0:20. Die Ruten, die du benutzt hast, haben meine Aufmerksamkeit erregt. Können Sie mir bitte sagen, aus welchem Material diese Ruten bestehen? Sind sie flexibel genug, um Kreise oder andere Formen zu erstellen? Kleben Sie sie einfach auf den Boden?
Vielen Dank im Voraus und macht weiter so mit euren Videos!
Thank you for enjoying the video! Glad you were able to learn from the video. For terrazzo floors, divider strips are placed on the floor to provide form and function. Divider strips can come in a variety of materials - aluminum, brass, zinc and even plastic. They are flexible to be bent by the installer on site. Aluminum is cost-effective and easier to grind onto. Brass on the other hand is harder to grind. Aluminum and zinc are similar, zinc tends to shine. They are capable of creating any shape. Even a waterjet can cut metals into intricate patterns and designs for logos or complex artwork. The divider strips are placed according to the design, and glued down. The terrazzo colors are then troweled between the divider strips.
@@Terrazzco Thank you for the quick response! I have a few more questions regarding the dividing strips. You mentioned that plastic can also be used. Since I have a 3D printer, I could create custom shapes with it. Could you tell me which type of plastic would be best for this purpose?
Additionally, I’m planning to lay Terrazzo flooring in a 12-square-meter room. What would the mix ratio be for this area, and what materials do I need?
Thank you in advance for your help, and I look forward to your response!
@@Rachid-q2e Regarding plastic strips, tthe dividers are cast from resin. They can range in color from clear, white, black or custom colors. Manufacturers also supply a plastic strip (Manhattan American and National Metal Strips are supplier members of the NTMA). Epoxy terrazzo is a 5:1 ratio, which includes a two-part epoxy resin and aggregates. Other materials may be needed including a moisture mitigation system, crack suppression membrane, leveling fill, primer (depending on which epoxy resin system you use), etc. Given the complexity of the process and the specialized equipment required, it is recommended that epoxy terrazzo installations be carried out by qualified contractors.
What model terrco floor grinder is used, and how long is the epoxy terrazzo is available for grinding.
TERRCO has modern models for terrazzo grinders. The one used in this video is an older version. Once epoxy terrazzo is poured, it will cure before the grinding process. This takes approximately 24 hours. Grinder is pushed along a path 4-5 times. Edges can be ground using an edge grinder along places like walls, columns or other areas where a machine cannot reach.
Hello can i use this products to make a personal tabletop? for my workspace? can i make a rectangular mold and then use this product?
Yes epoxy terrazzo can be used not only as flooring but also in designing countertops and tabletops. We create custom precast terrazzo products at our company where we cast, cut and polish the terrazzo. Working with terrazzo materials may be complex for users who have never used it before so to ensure quality and eliminate issues, we always recommend working with a qualified contractor with terrazzo experience. For more information, you can visit our countertops page to get an idea of the designs, dimensions, etc if interested: terrazzco.com/countertops/
Thanks for the video , Where could I do a training to do that kind of flooring? I am interested in learning to offer this service in my company
Thanks for your interest. Currently we've suspended our training courses to flooring contractors since the pandemic. However, you may be able to find some training opportunities through the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (NTMA). There are also apprenticeship programs as well with the Union of Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers.
@@Terrazzco I did not find anything about terrazzo training, please let me know if you do the training again
@@Terrazzco gooday, please what are the materials used in the base based terrazzo floorings.
Sir!but what's ratio of cement and terrazzo chips? Plz....
This video demonstrates installing a epoxy terrazzo floor. To answer your question about the ratio of cement and terrazzo chips, then cementitious terrazzo is traditionally a mixture of 2:1 ratio of marble aggregate to a cement binder
How is the mixing drum cleaned after use?
For epoxy terrazzo installations, tools and equipment is cleaned using isopropyl alcohol or mineral spirits before epoxy begins to harden.
Hello. Very nice I like it. Could tell me what kind of epoxy glue did you use and what’s mixing ratio all aggregates
The epoxy resin we used is TERRAZZCO EZPour Epoxy 158. Epoxy terrazzo has a 5:1 ratio of a Part A epoxy resin (1 5-gallon bucket) and Part B hardener ( 1 1-gallon can). When mixing the epoxy, we add 180 pounds of any aggregate to the mix and 50 pounds of AFT-20 Filler Powder. You can learn more about our epoxy resin: terrazzco.com/epoxy-resin/
Concord Terrazzo Company, Inc. thank you very much
Concord Terrazzo Company, Inc. How about cement based terrazzo floor. Do you do this kind of terrazzo floor
@@tsbat2647 We are a single-source supplier in epoxy terrazzo. We manufacture epoxy resins, crush our own aggregates, and fabricate precast terrazzo stairs, countertops, and wall base, all using epoxy terrazzo.
@@Terrazzco Hi ...if I start my own Terrazzo business can you supply me with materials? I started the trade in 1988... And do you have a west coast outlet.....If not. ...I'll start one for you

How do clean the cement mixer??
Do you sell your epoxy and aggregates directly to contractors? Im a concrete and terrazzo contractor and looking for another supplier that doesnt have the ridiculous requirement of only selling to contractors that were able to bribe their way into the NTMA mafia
Yes we sell directly to contractors. If you visit www.terrazzzco.com you can find our range of products. We help contractors with aggregate and epoxy resin supply, manufacture precast terrazzo products, and waterjet logos. If you fill out our contact form online or email info@terrazzco.com, our representatives will be able to discuss with you your project needs and process orders.
Where do you work at?
Your right about the NTMA !
Just amazing! Will you write the ratio of each ingredient please!!
Poured in Place Epoxy Terrazzo: It's a 5:1 ratio of Part A Epoxy Resin to Part B Hardener, add 180 pounds of specified aggregates (marble, glass, shell chips) and 50-pound of AFT-20 filler powder. These ingredients are mixed together thoroughly, and placed over a subfloor, troweled at either 1/4" or 3/8" thickness. Hope that helps!
@@Terrazzcodefinitely it's helpful, thanks! But how about the ratio of epoxy to other ingredients! I mean how much of epoxy do i need if i put 180 pounds of aggregates and 50 pounds of the filler?!
@@desigerz7364 For epoxy terrazzo, for one volume of epoxy resin, there will be 3 volume of marble aggregates. Epoxy resin is mixed per the manufacturer's recommendations. Our TERRAZZCO epoxy resin comes is packaged in a Part A resin at 5 gallon pails or 55 gallon drums, and Part B in one gallon cans or 5 gallon pails. (By volume, 5 parts of Part A resin is mixed with 1 part part B hardener). Coverage per mixed gallon for 3/8" thickness is 9-10 square ft and coverage per mixed gallon for 1/4" thciness is 11-12 sq ft. A terrazzo floor has minimum 70% chip density.
@@Terrazzco Thank you so much. Wish the best for you.

@@ericunderwood1482 How long does it take to gain enough proficiency to do a private residence?
@@Terrazzco How long does it take for someone to be proficient enough to do a small job on their own?
@@r.j.dunnill1465 An small epoxy terrazzo job can take approx one week to complete, so a person can learn the steps in a few days. Because there are several different terrazzo systems, to become proficient in terrazzo one would need to get on-the-job training or apprenticeships. Apprenticeships can span 2-4 years and require many hours of training.
Please help me
What's up?
Sir! Ratio of cement and terazzo chips?
