The name terrazzo derives from the Latin word ‘terra’, meaning ground, and this ancient composite material gives any interior an artisanal, Mediterranean feel.
What is terrazzo?
A composite material of marble chippings set into cement, terrazzo originated in 16th-century Italy as a way to reuse stone offcuts. It is either poured in situ by hand or precast into blocks that can be cut to size. You can also buy it as ready-made tiles, easy to apply straight to floors and walls.
