These terrazzo tiles can be used on the kitchen floor, backsplash, and bathroom walls or floors. You can even use terrazzo for the furniture and homeware in modern and minimalist homes.

Cracks: Structurally, the main concern with terrazzo is that it can crack if not properly installed. Cracks can be dealt with, but not easily and not cheaply. Make sure you choose a pro installer and the right method for your project.

Estimates can range from as low as $14 per square foot and as high as $90 per square feet for a terrazzo project depending on cost factors. On average, you can expect the total cost to install a terrazzo floor for a commercial building to be $20 to $30 per square ft.

Terrazzo floors are celebrated for their resilience, and even when cracks do appear, experienced contractors can restore the floor at a fraction of the original installation cost. Occasionally, cracks arise for reasons that even experts can't predict, similar to concrete cracks.
