  • In this video we share with you our process for the terrazzo flooring we did at our project in Korle Gonno. The process is quite simple and we also let you understand why we chose terrazzo over regular tiles.

    I was always curious on how these type of floors were created. Love it because it's solid and will last the test of time.

      It is relative. In some instances, tiles may be more expensive and in others terrazzo. Also the cost of the tiles you choose will also affect the cost. We will be doing a video on this in the coming days with a more comprehensive breakdown of the two.

      Yes, the work can be redone. The only issue would be to break the floor to remove the old terrazzo work and then redo it. The terrazzo is quite hard so cutting it is a job in itself.

    I’m confused. I though moisture was the number one enemy for terrazzo flooring. Also those measuring lines in my opinion are unsightly. One uneven surface / finish would have been great. Apart from that great job and presentation. Thanks
