About Brown Terrazzo:
Invented by Venetian mosaic masters in Italy in the 1400s, this floor covering material was first made from pieces of leftover marble placed in clay and mixed with goat's milk. Terrazzo's enduring beauty and extreme durability means it's enjoying a current revival in both commercial and residential applications. Terrazzo is a sophisticated composite flooring material made from precast marble chipping embedded in a base of cement or epoxy resin. It is mechanically polished without the use of chemicals to create a smooth, uniform surface, making Terrazzo an ecologically friendly and low maintenance option.

Terrazzo is quite slippery and can cause falls, so it may not be a good flooring choice for families with especially young or elderly members. Ask your contractor about applying non-slip additives to the surface.

Terrazzo is highly durable and low-maintenance, easily lasting for decades -- or even centuries -- with proper care. Nonporous varieties of terrazzo tiles are naturally water- and stain-resistant, and they also resist bacteria, unlike other bathroom flooring options such as vinyl or carpet. If eco-friendliness concerns you, terrazzo offers an all-natural option that does not release any volatile organic compounds into the atmosphere, and epoxy terrazzo often includes post-consumer and pre-consumer recycled materials.

Though terrazzo is traditionally used to cover larger areas such as floors or walls, we're seeing it pop up more often as an accent technique in kitchens for a modern twist. It's a fantastic alternative to steel or ceramic for stand-out backsplash walls or countertops.

Polished concrete will contain more cement whereas terrazzo will contain more aggregate. Polished concrete involves polishing the slab itself. In contrast, terrazzo involves covering the concrete slab with epoxy and aggregate, and then grind and polished to a finish.
