What is Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is a composite material poured in place or precast, which is used for floor and all treatments. It consists of marble, quartz, granite, glass or other suitable chips, sprinkled or unsprinkled, and poured with a binder that is cementitious, chemical or a combination of both. Terrazzo is cured, ground and polished to a smooth surface or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface.
The Terrazzo process is suitable for many other applications in addition to flooring and mosaics. Precast terrazzo slab and tiles can be applied to walls for a shower surround, kitchen backsplash and floor trim. In addition, Terrazzo call also be precast for countertops or vanities. See our BATH page for an example of a terrazzo vanity.
