Terrazzo, originally created in Italy, is a composite material widely used for floor and wall treatments. It is a versatile material that typically consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other suitable materials, combined with a cementitious binder. The mixture is then either poured in place or precast into tiles, creating a surface that is known for its durability and decorative appeal. Terrazzo often features metal strips that divide sections or demarcate changes in color or material, contributing to its distinctive patterned look.
In recent times, the look of traditional terrazzo has been beautifully recreated in porcelain tiles. Porcelain tiles with a terrazzo design offer several advantages, including easier installation and maintenance.
