Can terrazzo be used in a bathroom?

Showers, wet rooms and floors that get water. What works, and what needs a slip rating asked for in writing.

Indoors almost anywhere, outdoors only on a cement-based rustic system, and a resin floor at 3/4" is less than a seventh of the weight of the traditional cement build-up. Those are two different materials sharing one word, and the table below is the difference. Pick the system by the water and the slab, then pick the look.

Where can terrazzo be used, and how heavy is it?

Is terrazzo a good bathroom floor?

Yes, on the finish rather than the material. A polished cement-bound floor is slippery when wet, so in a bathroom it wants a honed or matte finish, or an anti-slip treatment over the polish. The material is not the problem; the gloss level is.
