Floors that signal permanence in Class A office.
Tenant HQ lobbies, multi-tenant ground floors, and campus amenity spaces. Polished gray-on-gray terrazzo and lithium-densified concrete that read as commitment, not buildout.
What this floor has to survive
The conditions that make spec selection non-trivial.
The brand statement
A Fortune-500 lobby cannot look like a tenant fit-out. Terrazzo signals 'we own this floor' in a way that LVT and carpet never will.
Tenant-improvement schedule
Corporate TI runs on aggressive 90–120 day timelines. Flooring goes in late in the sequence; nothing else can be late or the move-in date slips.
Tenant disruption in occupied floors
Refreshing a 10-year-old amenity floor on Floor 24 of a 30-story tower means freight-elevator coordination, dust containment, and zero impact on Floors 23 and 25.
Recommended systems
Three systems we install most often in corporate.
Corporate work is almost entirely terrazzo, polished concrete, or a precast accent — selected by how 'tier-1' the brand wants the floor to read.
Epoxy Terrazzo
HQ lobbies, board floors, executive corridors. Subtle gray-on-gray with white marble aggregate is the default Class A palette.
System detailsPolished Concrete
Tech-company HQs going for raw-industrial. Lithium-densified, diamond-polished to a 1500-grit honed finish.
System detailsPrecast Terrazzo
Monumental stair treads, reception-desk fascias, and lobby benches — fabricated to match the field floor.

Schedule reality
How we work around the operation.
We're typically last in before furniture install. Our PM coordinates directly with the GC's field super and the FF&E vendor so the floor is sealed, polished, and burnished the same day the truck arrives.
- Phased pours by zone
- Night-shift and weekend crews on request
- Vapor and dust containment for occupied spaces
- Daily progress reports to GC superintendent
FAQ
What this industry asks first.
Why terrazzo over high-end LVT in a corporate lobby?
+
LVT photographs well at install and dates badly. By year 3 the seams telegraph; by year 7 the wear layer is visible. Terrazzo at year 30 is identical to year 1 with a quarterly burnish. For a CEO lobby that's part of every recruiting tour, the right answer is the floor that won't look tired.
What's the most popular Class A palette?
+
Light-gray Portland or epoxy matrix with white marble #1 and #2 aggregate, brass divider strips on 6'–8' centers. Reads as understated, expensive, and timeless. Roughly 60% of our HQ-lobby work lands here.
Can you work in an occupied building?
+
Yes. We coordinate freight-elevator windows, build dust-tight ante-rooms at the suite entry, and run negative-air containment so adjacent tenants don't see dust or hear noise above an acceptable threshold. After-hours work is standard.
What's the maintenance commitment?
+
Daily neutral cleaner. Quarterly diamond burnish to restore gloss. Re-seal every 3–5 years depending on traffic. We offer maintenance contracts for the full building portfolio at facility-management rates.
HQ build-out or tower amenity refresh on the boards?
Send the program and the move-in date. We'll return a sample palette, a divider layout, and a TI-aligned schedule inside one week.
