Terrazzo is a composite material poured in place or precast which is used for floor and wall treatments. It consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite , glass or other suitable materials, poured with a cementitious binder, polymeric, or a combination of both. Metal strips divide sections, or changes in colour or material in a pattern. Additional chips may be sprinkled atop the mix before it sets. After it is cured it is ground and polished smooth or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface.
Terrazzo originates from Italy where around 500 years ago quarry workers used stone off-cuts for flooring in their own homes. At first, the finish was rough set and uneven but as methods progressed, the flexibility and benefits of terrazzo were recognized. Traditionally, terrazzo is composed of marble chippings and cement ground to a fine finish.
