modular building
Hi everyone,
This is from a Spanish architecture firm's work summary report on modular building. The client wants UK English.
In the flooring section it says:
Pavimento de hormigón pulido con el árido visto. Acabado hidrofugado brillante en color natural. Con aspecto similar al de un terrazo de grano medio.
I have seen pictures of this type of flooring and know what they mean, but I don't know the term in English. Any ideas? Thank you!

intermediate terrazzo
The types of terrazzo depend on the size of the chip (aggregate).
El terrazo de grano medio se fabrica con la mezcla de marmolina -polvo de mármol-, cemento blanco de alta resistencia y áridos de mármol de diferentes colores y un +++tamaño aproximado de 10 a 20 milímetros de diámetro+++. A esta composición se añade el pigmento adecuado para obtener el color deseado.

Según el tamaño de los trozos de mármol que se emplean en la construcción del terrazo, lo podemos dividir en: terrazo de microgramo, terrazo de grano medio, y terrazo de grano grueso. A la hora de su fabricar las baldosas de terrazo se pueden colorear con pigmentos lo que nos van a dar los diferentes colores de terrazo.
