The Versatility of Terrazzo Tile provided by ServiceMagic.com.
Terrazzo tile is one of the most versatile tiling options available in the industry. Made by mixing marble, granite, quartz, or glass chips into a cement binder, terrazzo is cost effective, attractive, and one of the toughest products available when it comes to tiling materials.
Why Choose Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is an excellent tiling choice for a number of reasons. The first is its looks. Because terrazzo is made by embedding marble, granite, quartz or glass chips in a cement binder, it retains many of the aesthetic qualities of the non-cement additive. Often it achieves a look equally as stunning as pure stone or ceramic tiles at a fraction of the price. Secondly, because terrazzo tile is manufactured by mixing different elements together, you can choose almost any design or color for your tile project that you can dream of, including abstract decorative designs, official seals, and floor maps just to name a few. The sky is the limit when it comes to terrazzo design.
On a more practical level, terrazzo is also one of the most durable tiling materials on the market—much more so than its stone and ceramic competitors. Once sealed properly it is impervious to water and stain damage, it doesn't chip like other tile materials can, and can be used on both interior and exterior applications. And if the surface gets worn down over the years, it can be re-finished and polished to look like new again.
Application
From a construction standpoint, terrazzo tiles can be applied as traditional tiles or they can be mixed, poured, and finished directly on site, adding even more flexibility and options when it comes to design and installation. It's also up to 50% lighter than other tiling materials, making it particularly valuable for multi-story installations, especially buildings with large areas and multiple stories where the weight of materials can really add up. In fact, while terrazzo is a great product for homeowners, it is ideally suited for large office buildings and other public areas as well.
