What is terrazzo?
The terrazzo consists of a mixture of pebbles and marble agglomerated with cement, this gives it its characteristic dotted design and makes each one of the pieces different from the others. But now it comes in new colors and combinations that will surprise you. Even decorating wallpapers.
Due to its high resistance and economic price it was the most used material for interior pavements during a large part of the 20th century. So we could find it in the majority of housing of official protection, schools, hospitals … although its use already began in the XV century. And its first use was in terraces, hence its name from Latin.
It is also a very hard and resistant material very easy to maintain since it does not require special care and has a price that makes it very advantageous compared to materials such as marble that are much more expensive. That meant that its use was extended in public buildings to lower costs.
In its design the grain can be fine, medium or thick and currently offers a wide variety of colors that are very colorful and eye-catching. Before the most used were the white, gray or earth tones; But today we are surprised with shades ranging from reds to blues, passing through yellows … There is a lot to choose from!
