Frequently Asked Questions
What is terrazzo?
Terrazzo is a composite material made from chips of marble, quartz, or glass set into cement or resin, then polished for a smooth surface. Modern terrazzo-look materials recreate this appearance using durable porcelain instead.
Why is terrazzo expensive?
Authentic terrazzo is costly because it requires a labor-intensive installation process. Porcelain terrazzo tiles offer a similar look at a more affordable price and are easier to maintain.
What is terrazzo suitable for?
Terrazzo tiles are well-suited for walls, countertops, floors, and accent areas.
What are the disadvantages of terrazzo flooring?
Authentic terrazzo floors require sealing and can crack over time. Porcelain terrazzo-look tiles provide the same visual style with greater durability and lower maintenance.
What types of terrazzo tiles are there?
Common options include porcelain terrazzo tiles, cement terrazzo, and epoxy terrazzo. Each offers different benefits in appearance, performance, and feel.
How can we use terrazzo tiles at home?
Terrazzo tiles can be used for floors, backsplashes, fireplace surrounds, and shower areas. Their versatility makes it easy to mix patterns and colors for a custom look.
