History
of
Terrazzo
The story of what we now know as terrazzo began in 15th-century Venice, Italy. Venetian mosaic craftsmen, facing a surplus of odd-sized marble chips, sought a way to reuse them. They embedded these chips in clay or cement, creating a cost-effective and durable flooring material.
Whilst experimenting with the concept, they also discovered that a coating of goat milk brought out the rich colors and sheen of the marble, serving as a natural sealant. They would then grind down the surface for their own terraces and other living spaces – hence the term, “terrazzo” – which is the Italian term for “terrace”. What began as a way to repurpose oddly shaped chips has turned in to what is now seen widely by the industry as the best choice in both residential and commercial projects.
We take great pride in maintaining the practice of sustainability in the creation of our product with the same enthusiasm as Venetian craftsmen did centuries ago.
