Terrazzo-Look Epoxy Systems — Vancouver BC
Terrazzo-Look Epoxy Flooring Vancouver
Large decorative chip epoxy systems that replicate the look of polished terrazzo at a fraction of the cost — for Vancouver lobbies, retail floors, restaurants, and residential spaces.
Terrazzo-Look Epoxy Flooring in Vancouver — What It Is and What It Costs
Terrazzo-look epoxy flooring replicates the appearance of traditional poured terrazzo — the aggregate-embedded stone flooring found in heritage buildings, upscale hotel lobbies, and institutional spaces — using epoxy resin and large decorative chip aggregate instead of marble chips set in cement. It costs $10–14 per square foot installed and is suited to commercial lobbies, restaurant floors, retail spaces, and high-end residential interiors across Vancouver.
The system uses oversized decorative chips — typically 3/8" to 1/2", significantly larger than standard flake epoxy chips — broadcast at high density into a coloured epoxy base. After curing, the surface is diamond-ground flat to expose the chip faces, then polished and sealed with a clear topcoat. This grinding-and-polish step is what creates the characteristic terrazzo look: a level, stone-embedded surface that reads as genuinely luxurious rather than a coating.
Traditional poured terrazzo installed over new concrete in Vancouver costs $25–45 per square foot and requires specialist tradespeople, metal divider strips, and extended cure times. The epoxy version achieves a comparable visual result at less than half the cost, with faster installation and the same moisture-management requirements that apply to all epoxy systems on Vancouver's coastal slabs. All installations include ASTM moisture testing and comply with WorkSafeBC standards.
