TERRAZZO — From Italian “terrace”, a type of flooring created by embedding small pieces of various materials, such as marble, granite, quartz, or glass into a cementitious or epoxy resin binder. The materials used, known as aggregates, are often of different colours, sizes, and shapes, which can be arranged in specific patterns or left random for a more natural look.

The process of installing a terrazzo floor involves pouring the binder mixture onto a prepared subfloor and then embedding the aggregates into the wet surface. Once the mixture has cured and hardened, the surface is polished to reveal a smooth and glossy finish. Terrazzo floors are highly resilient, resistant to stains and scratches, and can be customized to achieve a wide range of design possibilities, making them a popular choice for both commercial and residential applications.
