Why Terrazzo?<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Elegant and practical, strong and exuberant, terrazzo was originally created by Venetian construction workers who mixed marble chips from upscale jobs to design attractive, low-cost flooring in their own living quarters.<\/em><\/p>\n

Today, terrazzo can consist of marble, quartz, granite, recycled glass, recycled porcelain, recycled concrete and metal aggregates, which are mixed with cement or epoxy and polished to produce a seamless surface. Either poured or pre-cast, terrazzo offers designers unlimited flexibility to create stunning designs\u2014as breathtakingly beautiful as they are durable and easy to maintain.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
