Terrazzo Flooring in Lebanon
Terrazzo is marble, granite, glass or stone chips set in a cement or epoxy binder, then ground flat and polished. It is the floor in half the old buildings of Beirut — and it is back, in new colours and with epoxy binders that allow thinner, brighter, seamless floors. TopCrete pours, grinds and polishes both cement terrazzo and epoxy terrazzo — on floors and on walls, and as an overlay over surfaces that are already there.
Cement terrazzo vs. epoxy terrazzo
Cement terrazzo is the traditional system: 15–25 mm of cement and aggregate over a screed, divided by brass or aluminium strips, ground and polished. Cooler underfoot, natural matte-to-satin look, ideal for restoration and classic interiors. Epoxy terrazzo is 8–10 mm of resin binder and aggregate, seamless, in any colour including bright whites and pigments cement cannot do. Faster to install, better over existing slabs, glossy finish. We will recommend one after seeing the floor.
Walls and overlays
Terrazzo is not only a floor. The same mix goes on walls — bathrooms, shower enclosures, feature walls and counter fronts — trowelled in thinner layers and polished the same way.
It also works as an overlay. Where the surface underneath is sound, terrazzo goes straight over it instead of being broken out: less demolition, less debris, and the floor level barely moves. We check the substrate first and tell you if it will hold.
Aggregates and design
White and coloured marble, black basalt, recycled glass, mother-of-pearl, metal. Fine and uniform, or large chips scattered in a plain field. Divider strips can form patterns, borders and logos. Because we mix on site, the colour and chip size are yours to choose from real samples.

- Restoration of existing terrazzo floors: regrinding, filling and repolishing.
Frequently asked questions
Can you restore an old terrazzo floor?
Yes. We regrind the surface, fill cracks and chips with matching aggregate, then polish and seal. Usually far cheaper than replacing.
Can terrazzo go on walls?
Yes. Walls, shower enclosures and counter fronts take the same aggregate and binder, applied in thinner layers and polished the same way. It can also go over an existing surface as an overlay, without breaking out what is there.
How thick is a terrazzo floor?
Epoxy terrazzo about 8–10 mm over a prepared slab; cement terrazzo 15–25 mm including the bed.
Is terrazzo slippery?
Polished terrazzo is similar to polished marble. For wet areas we finish to a lower sheen or add a slip-resistant sealer.
How much does terrazzo cost per m² in Lebanon?
It depends on the system (cement vs. epoxy), the aggregate and the area. Send us the m² and a photo of the space for a quote.
