A durable, custom-designed floor for homes, schools, clinics, hotels, and offices. Terrazzo isn't reserved for grand buildings — it's a smart, long-term investment for almost any space and budget.
Terrazzo is one of the world's oldest flooring materials, first developed in 15th-century Venice when craftsmen embedded leftover marble off-cuts into cement to create a hard, decorative floor. Centuries-old terrazzo floors in European buildings are still in everyday use today — that's the kind of durability this floor delivers.
FloorCraft Uganda installs terrazzo for homes, schools, churches, clinics, hotels, offices, and shops across Kampala and the rest of Uganda. Terrazzo has a premium look, but it's more accessible than most people expect — many of our clients go for a simple, single-colour design at a fraction of the cost of an elaborate custom pattern, while still getting a floor that can outlast tiles by decades.
Whether you want a statement lobby floor or a hard-wearing, easy-clean surface for a busy school corridor, we design and install terrazzo to match both your taste and your budget.
From a single-room home upgrade to a full school building, terrazzo works at almost any scale. Here's who we install it for most often:
Neither system is "better" — they suit different needs and budgets. We'll recommend the right one once we see your space.
Terrazzo pricing varies more than tile or microtopping because every floor is custom-designed. Here's what typically drives the cost up or down — and where your budget can flex.
A single flat colour costs less than a multi-colour pattern, border strips, or a custom medallion design.
Locally available stone and recycled glass chips are more budget-friendly than imported marble or mother-of-pearl.
Cement terrazzo is generally the more economical system; epoxy resin costs a bit more but installs faster and is fully waterproof.
Larger areas usually bring the cost per square metre down. A rough or uneven existing floor needs extra prep work.
One flat colour, local aggregate, no pattern work. The most affordable way into a genuine terrazzo floor — popular for homes and school corridors.
Two or more colours, simple border strips or zoning, mixed aggregate. The most common choice for offices, shops, and feature areas in homes.
Imported aggregate, intricate medallions or logos, multi-zone colour work. Suited to hotel lobbies and statement commercial spaces.
We don't publish fixed price lists because every terrazzo floor is different — but we always give you a clear, written quote after a free site visit, with no hidden costs.
Terrazzo has outlasted 500 years of design trends — here's why it still makes sense for Ugandan buildings today.
Go with one flat colour for an affordable, clean look, or design a full custom pattern. Every terrazzo floor is unique to you.
Properly installed terrazzo can last for generations. It is one of the most durable floor finishes available in Uganda.
Sealed terrazzo is non-porous and harbours no bacteria or mould — ideal for clinics, schools, kitchens, and family homes.
Sealed terrazzo resists water and staining well, making it suitable for bathrooms and busy, spill-prone areas.
Terrazzo doesn't warp or crack with humidity and stays cool underfoot during hot weather.
Terrazzo's depth and texture give any room a character that ordinary tile or paint simply can't match.
From a single bathroom to a hotel lobby — terrazzo adapts to the space and the budget.

Everything you need to know before commissioning a terrazzo floor.
Cost depends on the system (cement or epoxy), the chip material you choose, how complex the design is, and the size of the area. A simple single-colour floor costs less than a custom multi-colour pattern. We give a free, written quote after a short site visit — no surprises.
Not at all. Terrazzo is increasingly common in ordinary homes, schools, churches, and clinics across Uganda because of how long it lasts. A simple design with local aggregate can fit a modest budget, while a custom multi-colour pattern suits hotels and statement commercial spaces. We work with clients at every budget level.
Cement terrazzo sets marble or stone chips in a cement base, ground and polished smooth — the traditional system, and it can be re-ground after years of wear. Epoxy terrazzo uses a resin base instead, giving a thinner, fully seamless, waterproof finish with brighter colour options. We help you pick the right one for your space and budget.
Yes. Terrazzo doesn't warp, swell, or crack with humidity, and it stays cool underfoot in Uganda's heat. Properly sealed terrazzo also resists the moisture that damages other floor types during the rainy season.
Cement terrazzo typically takes 7 to 14 days including pouring, curing, grinding, and polishing. Epoxy terrazzo is usually faster — around 5 to 10 days. Larger areas and more complex designs take longer; we confirm an exact schedule in your written quote.
Yes. Chips, cracks, and worn patches can be repaired and re-ground to blend in with the surrounding floor. Cement terrazzo can even be fully re-ground to restore its original finish after many years of heavy use.
Sweep or dry-mop regularly to remove grit, then wet-mop occasionally with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic or bleach-based cleaners, which can etch marble chips. Re-sealing every 5 to 10 years keeps the floor protected and glossy.
Yes. We regularly work in Wakiso, Entebbe, Mukono, and Jinja, and we travel further afield for the right project — including Mbarara, Gulu, and other towns. Contact us with your location to confirm availability.
Whether you want a simple single-colour finish or a fully custom design, we'll give you an honest recommendation and a free, written quote.
