Lake Washington Park - Terrazzo

The recent renovation of the lobby at the Lake Washington Park building called for terrazzo flooring, and J.E. Cummings selected ABW to do the job. After moisture testing and approval of the custom color design, we got started. All major work was performed at night as the area is surrounded by offices.

After the tile was removed, we had our first look at the substrate.



It required over an inch of fill in some places, so a latex modified cement underlayment was used to level the main area and bring it into tolerance.

Next was the anti-fracture membrane and the zinc strip. We pre-bent the 1/2" wide zinc strip to match the two different radii, and it fit perfectly with no adjustment!

The 6" accent strips were trowelled in, followed by the rest of the floor.

Then the dry grinding, grout, wet grinding, sealing and burnishing.

The overall design of the floor was unique and interesting, and the finished product came out very well!
