Maybe you already noticed that more and more terrazzo is used by famous names in high aesthetic retail spaces. We want to dig in more about this topic not only because Terrazzo is part of our portfolio, but because we really love this product. It’s not accidental that the best-known brands have used Terrazzo in their retail stores with high success. David Chipperfield, Emilio Pucci, Prada, Valentino, Issey Miyake are some famous brands, presented at this post.
Terrazzo is a composite material made of marble, quartz, granite, glass or other material chippings poured with a polymeric or concrete. After it is cured, it is ground and polished smooth or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface. Worth noting, CodeStones resin bonded terrazzo collection is manufactured in blocks and has a water absorption percentage rate less than 0.02, therefore, outperforming its cement bonded competitors in terms of durability and maintenance.
Back in hippie 60-70s Terrazzo made of concrete became a popular flooring and could be found in commercial spaces including airports, cultural institutions, schools, and hotels. Despite the high popularity in that time, the durability of this material wasn’t as good as modern Terrazzo. Nowadays when technologies jumped forward, Terrazzo is back and it’s the hottest trend of 2019.
