The method of making a terrazzo surface from recycled glass involves several steps. First, the substrate over which the terrazzo layer is formed is conditioned and primed. Second, an epoxy mixture is made by mixing crushed recycled glass, epoxy resin and epoxy primer. Third, the epoxy mixture is poured over the substrate to a height of 3/8" (1 cm} nominally. Fourth, the mixture is troweled and allowed to cure and harden. Fifth, the surface is ground and polished to expose glass fragments near the surface. Grout is then applied to fill any air bubbles opened during the grinding process. Finally, the floor is polished and sealed. Decorative patterns and designs may also be formed ire the terrazzo by attaching metal divider strips of different shapes to the substrate before pouring the epoxy mixture, and then using different colored mixtures to create patterns and/or designs in the surface.
