Course Summary of Terrazzo Works

The Terrazzo Works course introduces learners to the fundamental principles, techniques, and applications of terrazzo in construction finishing. Terrazzo is a composite material used for durable and decorative floor, wall, and surface finishes. This course covers the identification of tools, equipment, and materials used in terrazzo works, preparation of surfaces, mixing and laying terrazzo, grinding, polishing, curing, and maintenance.

Learners gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on practical skills necessary to produce high-quality terrazzo finishes that meet structural and aesthetic standards. The course also emphasizes safety practices, quality control, and environmental considerations in terrazzo production and installation.

By the end of the course, learners are expected to develop competencies in selecting materials, preparing terrazzo mixtures, applying terrazzo techniques, finishing surfaces to the required standard, and maintaining completed terrazzo works. This prepares them for opportunities in the construction and finishing industry.

Terrazzo is a composite material that originated in Italy during the 15th century. It typically consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, or glass mixed with a cement or epoxy binder. The word “terrazzo” comes from the Italian word for terrace, as the original technique was used to create durable and decorative flooring in outdoor spaces.

This module describes the knowledge, skills, and attitude required to perform terrazzo works on building construction sites. It is intended to be pursued by learners at TVET level IV in building construction. At the end of this module, the learner will be able to perform terrazzo preliminary works, produce precast and cast in situ terrazzo, and install pre casted terrazzo with respect to the standards.
