Terrazzo is a type of material made up of various elements that combine with each other, not a single, solid piece. To create terrazzo, fragments of marble (or other materials such as quartz, granite or glass) are mixed with a binder—usually concrete—to achieve a strong chemical and physical bond.
Beautiful, elegant and robust: few construction materials are as versatile and luxurious as terrazzo. Terrazzo has existed for centuries and became particularly popular in Italy in the eighteenth century.
Improvements in the installation of terrazzo and the introduction of expansion joints to prevent cracks made it more practical and affordable. Thanks to its decorative properties, resistance and easy maintenance, it has been widely used in public buildings, as well as in hospitals, shops, religious buildings and schools.
Nowadays, terrazzo is once again an interior design trend, as it is an affordable and practical material that is both aesthetically pleasing and resistant, making it a very good option for contemporary décor.
Terrazzo tiles offer multiple design and colour possibilities. It masterfully recreates the unique aesthetic effect of terrazzo using a much more hard-wearing and practical material: porcelain, which brings together the best of both materials.

It looks elegant and sophisticated, but at the same time it is highly resistant to wear and tear. In addition, terrazzo flooring is very easy to keep clean, which is very important at entrances to homes. If combined with terrazzo tile skirting boards, the effect is even more impressive.
If there is a space in the home made to show off terrazzo tiles, it is the bathroom. Exclusive, glamorous and elegant, terrazzo flooring adds colour and texture to the surfaces in the bathrooms.
To make terrazzo look contemporary, use the same tiles on the walls and floors with the same colour grout. For a more exquisite and relaxing shower experience, use faux terrazzo tiles on the walls of shower cubicles with a rain effect shower head.
