- Site address (for delivery quotations)
- Square meterage of floor
- Details including how many rooms
- If possible a floor plan with measurement
Design
There is a cost impact for different designs so have a think about the style of terrazzo design or browse our website to see which you like:
- Smaller chipping terrazzo designs are more economical
- Large chipping / Palladiana designs are on the more expensive scale
Once we have all the information we need such as your preferred terrazzo, measurements, location etc we will provide you with a quotation.
When you’re ready to order, we agree production, delivery and if required, installation timescales with you.
We will make a site visit to check the substrate and discuss details such as the introduction of expansion joints if required.
