Even if you’ve never heard the word “terrazzo,” you’ve likely seen it in a Minnesota school or commercial building, or maybe inside a home.
Terrazzo is a timeless, elegant flooring option that combines beauty and durability. Decorative aggregates like marble, quartz, or glass are embedded in an epoxy matrix or binder, then ground and polished to a smooth, nonporous finish. The result is a seamless floor that looks granular up close but feels sleek underfoot, offering a sophisticated design that lasts for years.
At ACT Restoration, terrazzo isn’t just a side service; it’s one of our core specialties. Very few local companies offer terrazzo services, and even fewer deliver the skill and quality that ACT Restoration does. From historic school corridors to modern commercial lobbies and residential spaces, our team is recognized throughout Minnesota as trusted terrazzo experts!
Terrazzo floors have been found in ancient dig sites worldwide, with some pieces dating back over 10,000 years still in use today. Thanks to its durable creation process and materials, terrazzo can be refinished repeatedly and last a lifetime.
Our comprehensive terrazzo services cover installation, polishing, repair, restoration, sealing, and any specialty work needed to match and maintain your floor’s unique character. With expert skill in matching existing aggregates, ACT Restoration ensures seamless restorations and additions.

Whether you need a minor repair or full restoration, ACT handles every step with expertise to make your terrazzo floor look and perform like new!
Terrazzo offers unique design flexibility, using an array of colors, aggregates, methods, and patterns to create a truly one-of-a-kind floor. It’s also environmentally friendly – using leftover materials from other projects to reduce waste while providing a durable surface.
The nonporous nature of terrazzo resists moisture and bacterial growth, making it a highly sanitary option that requires fewer harsh cleaning chemicals. Plus, terrazzo is cost-effective to install and maintain for both homeowners and commercial properties.
Terrazzo’s low maintenance is another major benefit. Like concrete and epoxy, it withstands moisture, weight, and impact while rarely staining, chipping, or scratching.
If your terrazzo floor shows minor cracks or chips, don’t delay repairs – small fixes today prevent costly issues later. ACT can also refinish original terrazzo floors needing attention, preserving their elegant appearance and durability.
