What is epoxy terrazzo?

Epoxy terrazzo is aggregate in resin, laid in a thin layer — usually between 3 and 6 mm — either on site or as a factory panel. It is among the thinnest and the most chemical-resistant, and it is the one that cannot be repaired the way a cement floor can.

Resin-bound. The colour is in the binder, not the chip, so it does not fade the way a tinted matrix does.

The strongest colour in the set. Resin carries pigment that cement cannot.

The figures, and where each one comes from

Property Published range Measured by us
Total thickness 3-6 mm not tested
Build-up over substrate thin, often under 10 mm not tested
Chemical resistance high for the resin family not tested
Resealing not the way cement terrazzo reseals not tested

Why the processes are not interchangeable

The thickness is not a preference, it is what the process allows. There is no cement matrix to build up and cure, so the material is a coating rather than a floor. That is the same property that gives it the chemical resistance and that removes the repairability.

What these figures are, and what they are not

Published ranges only. We have not tested an epoxy floor, and the thickness figure is the one most often quoted without saying which of the two ways it was laid. This site will not publish our own figure until we have one.
