Terrazzio is Authentic Terrazzo Tile manufactured in the USA. We manufacture large format tiles to simulate the appearance of poured-in-place terrazzo. Terrazzio offers the benefit of a quick installation with no on site grinding or polishing. It doesn't delay a job, allowing foot traffic to continue using a rapid adhesive, you can walk on a Terrazzio floor within 24 hours. Terrazzio can be installed on floors, stairs, and walls, as well as counter tops. Terrazzio is not fragile like ceramic or porcelain tiles. A contractor once stated that he dropped a 4x4 tile down a flight of stairs hitting a concrete column. He said only a small chunk broke off the corner and he was able to reattach the broken chunk during installation. There is no need for concern when it comes to handling Terrazzio. Our tile is durable and is designed to last the life of your building. The compressive strength of Terrazzio was tested by the equivalent application of 6 Tons of pressure applied to the area of a large mans thumb print without any evidence of failure. This toughness translates to durability for the Life of Your Building. For commercial buildings like a school, closing for repair is not ideal. You want to install the floor once and trust it will last as long as the building does with little maintenance. The smooth natural polish applied to the hard stone in Terrazzio provides a dense surface that offers great resistance to staining and abrasion. For most applications, normal sweeping and mopping is all that is required after the Terrazzio has been properly sealed.
