Depends on where and what’s the application.
It’s indoor or outdoor, high traffic, etc.

Polished concrete like the brutalist aesthetic?

I dig it but it’s not everyone’s taste. People will ask if the house not finish

Terrazzo is durable af but many think it’s too old school. I think with the right chips and color it can get a modern reboot but I’ve not seen any locally done.

The epoxy flake has a bunch of “don’ts”, I considered this last year but realized it’s too flaky (pardon the pun). Application hadda be on point and it can’t take as much jam as the other two. Looks decent tho.

Yes other than the occasional lock over to move over a vehicle if I need access to the cabinets on one side

Terrazzo is forever but looks dated, polished concrete looks cool but its not for everyone and still needs a coating on it. Epoxy is very nice if done properly but some installers use cheaper material with the resulting durability issues.

For high traffic durability terrazzo has them beat.

[pugboy]

funny that terrazzo from the 70-80s still looking good
is it that they used a better quality type of colored cement?
why aren’t there more modern colpur terrazzo now

to me the quartz countertops are same type of material like terrazzo

But this is what the nation built on

Look into stamped concrete. I made a similar thread a few years ago - ended up tiling everywhere, but stamping is definitely a good and cheaper option.
Terrazzo looked too dated for me, polished concrete looks unfinished unless done really well, and epoxy if done properly has a similar cost to tile so personal preference for look.
