You could continue using them if you could design the house that matches with the tiles. If you want to restore the shine of your terrazzo, you can polish the tiles with a terrazzo grinder which is like a heavy floor polisher. After polishing, you can clean and seal the dry surface for a lustrous finish. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to hack and re-tile may be quite ex so I was looking for cheaper alternatives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that doesn't work, you can try overlay tiles or pebbles on your existing terrazzo. Cheers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some more at $12/psf. Can't withstand the sight of terrazzo? Want cheapest ? Lay vinyl sheet. Sleeping on top, shiok! Mopping also easy! Take take rainwater goes into betwwen tiles & the layer on top hor. Edited August 6, 2010 by bepgof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
