Is terrazzo suitable for floors, walls or both?

Both. Terrazzo works well as flooring in living areas, bathrooms, kitchens, hallways and commercial spaces. It is equally effective on walls, as a kitchen worktop, bathroom vanity top or shower surface. The finish and aggregate size can be adjusted depending on the application. Hochwert Library advises on the right spec for each surface in your project.

Can terrazzo be customised — colour, aggregate, finish?

Yes, and this is one of terrazzo's greatest practical advantages. Hochwert Library works with trusted terrazzo partners who offer a wide range of stone aggregate types, chip sizes, matrix colours and finishes. You can choose a very fine, almost uniform surface or a bold, large-chip composition. Bring your colour references and project context to the consultation and Hochwert Library will help you narrow down the options.

How do you maintain and clean terrazzo?

Day-to-day, a damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner is all terrazzo needs. Avoid acidic cleaners — vinegar, citrus-based products and bleach can etch the surface and dull the finish over time. Polished terrazzo benefits from periodic re-sealing to protect against staining. Hochwert Library provides specific maintenance guidance for every terrazzo product it supplies.

Where can I see terrazzo samples in Zurich?

At the Hochwert Library showroom, Rotbuchstrasse 83, 8037 Zurich — by appointment only. The first consultation is free of charge. Bring your floor plan, dimensions and any inspiration images so Hochwert Library can point you straight to the most relevant options.

How long does it take to supply terrazzo through Hochwert Library?

Lead times depend on whether you are ordering prefabricated tiles or specifying a custom mix. Standard products from Hochwert Library's trusted partners are typically available within a few weeks. Custom colour and aggregate combinations take longer. Always confirm timing with Hochwert Library before scheduling your installation contractor.
