Terrazzo

---

Terrazzo is a composite material made from natural stone chips (such as marble, quartz, granite, or glass) set in cement or resin. It has been used for centuries in flooring, benchtops, and decorative surfaces, known for its durability, low maintenance, and endless design possibilities.

Modern terrazzo is available in precast tiles, slabs, and poured-in-place applications, making it a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects.

✅ Highly Durable & Long-Lasting – Resistant to heavy foot traffic, stains, and wear.
✅ Wide Range of Colours & Finishes – Customisable to suit any design aesthetic.

📌 Feature Walls & Cladding – Adds texture and an upscale aesthetic.
📌 Retail & Hospitality Spaces – Ideal for high-end stores, cafes, and showrooms.

🔹 Sealing: Recommended for cement-based terrazzo to prevent staining and moisture absorption. Resin-based terrazzo is non-porous and does not require sealing.
🔹 Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral cleaner; avoid acidic products that can break down the surface over time.
🔹 Regular Care: Sweep and mop regularly to maintain its polished appearance.

Q: Does terrazzo need to be sealed?
✅ Cement-based terrazzo requires sealing, while resin-based terrazzo is naturally non-porous and does not need sealing.

Q: How often does terrazzo need to be resealed?
✅ Cement-based terrazzo should be resealed every 1–2 years in high-traffic areas to maintain its stain resistance. Resin-based terrazzo does not require sealing.

Q: Can terrazzo crack over time?
✅ Yes, cement-based terrazzo can develop hairline cracks over time, especially if installed in large areas without expansion joints. However, resin-based terrazzo is more flexible and less prone to cracking.
