More Minis Dollhouses Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 http://www.pginteriores.com/pisos/granito_variedad.jpg This flooring is very popular here in Miami, in older homes from the 20s and 40s. I want to know what is the name of it because I want to find some printable patterns for it on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 My mom has a home in Daytona Beach that has floors with that look. I think she called it Travertine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 That looks like good ol' terrazzo, wonderfully freezing cold under foot on crisp January mornings and will shatter "unbreakable" pyrex/ corian in nothing flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Terrazzo is what builders in the '50s & '60s (at least) put in all the CBS houses going up all over S FL. If you don't have them they're lovely. If you do, I've mentioned two of their less lovely qualiities. Additionally they have to be stripped and resealed from time to time to keep looking pretty. If your ground is sandy and the house built in a hurry (as was often the case in those days) it also cracks... it can be repaired, at a bit of co$t; probably cheaper to dig it out and replace with a new concrete slab and some other flooring.
