Terrazzo
A highly durable composite material, Terrazzo is comprised of natural semi-precious stone fragments in a fine white Italian hydrated Limestone cement base.
How is Terrazzo Made?
Terrazzo is a dense and hard material that is made with chips of Marble or Granite that are set in concrete and then polished. These chips are mostly recycled – remnants of Marble or Granite reused to create a beautiful and highly sustainable option for flooring.
With a honed finish, Terrazzo tiles feature a montage of fragments of Tuscan Marble, Quartz, Granite, and glass set inside white Limestone-derived Concrete that can be pre-cast or poured in situ.
Where to Use Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is used for commercial applications due to its hard-wearing properties that are relatively easy to maintain. Indoors it is often used in reception areas and foyers of high-rise offices.
Terrazzo is regaining popularity in residential projects for living and dining spaces, bathrooms and kitchens.
