Illinois' climate, with its cold winters and warm, humid summers, demands careful attention to detail during terrazzo installation. We meticulously prepare subfloors in homes across Illinois, ensuring they are free from moisture and adequately conditioned to handle seasonal temperature shifts, particularly important for projects in Rockford. Our process involves precise mixing of the terrazzo aggregate with either an epoxy or cementitious binder, followed by meticulous pouring and curing. We manage the drying and hardening stages to prevent stress fractures that can arise from expansion and contraction. The final grinding and polishing stages reveal the unique character of your selected materials, creating a lasting floor.
