When you’re choosing a floor, you’re making a decision you’ll live with for years. Tiles crack. Wood warps in humidity. Carpet stains. Terrazzo does none of these things — which is why it remains one of the most trusted flooring choices in Kenya.

What makes terrazzo different

Terrazzo is made by setting chips of marble, granite, quartz or glass into a cement or resin base, then grinding and polishing the surface to a smooth shine. The result is a single, seamless floor with no joints for dirt to collect in and no weak points to crack along.

Because it’s poured and finished in place, terrazzo forms one continuous surface. That’s the secret to its durability — there’s simply nothing to come loose.

How long does it actually last?

A properly installed terrazzo floor can last for decades. Many terrazzo floors laid in public buildings across Kenya generations ago are still in daily use today. With basic care, terrazzo often outlasts the building it sits in.

Caring for your terrazzo

Terrazzo asks very little of you. Sweep regularly, mop with a neutral cleaner, and avoid harsh acidic products that can dull the finish. Every few years, a professional polish will bring back the original shine.

The design advantage

Durability doesn’t mean dull. Terrazzo can be mixed in almost any colour combination, and the chips can be selected to match your space — subtle greys for a modern office, warm earth tones for a family home, or bold contrasts for a commercial entrance.
