This is how a fancy terrazzo medallion comes to life. The detailed metal FrameTek design is anchored to the subfloor, then the terrazzo installers work their magic. This design for the State of Utah uses a combo of terrazzo and stone - not an easy thing to pull off but we love a challenge!
Beautiful work, Jason Zarwell and the team at Wisconsin Terrazzo.

When Tarkett Contract introduced their new Terrazzo Style Rubber Tile Collection at Design Days in Chicago, they called on us to help them get creative. We cut tiles according to their design for their Fulton Market showroom. The geometric floor (that was installed in record time!) does a great job of showcasing the new product’s design versatility.
