Construction / Civil Engineering | | Spanish term or phrase: Piso de terrazo colado en obra | | además de que necesito ayuda con toda la frase, una pregunta: ¿terrazo es lo mismo que terraza en México?, no es un "typo". |
| | | terrazzo floor(ing) cast in place | Explanation:
Not a type, "terrazo" is "terrazzo," a type of flooring.
Terrazzo is an extremely versatile material which can be applied in situ to floors and other surfaces, made into tiles or cast into moulds to almost any shape. It is probably the most widely used of all hard floorings, certainly in heavily trafficked areas. It is to be found in shopping malls, airports, railway and underground stations, hospitals and supermarkets.
