The Fabrication Process
Terrazzo is not quarried like marble, granite, soapstone, and other natural stone types. It is not cut into blocks or slabs and removed from the quarry. Terrazzo is actually a mixture of different aggregates such as granite or marble chips, glass, shells, and other materials held together by a binder such as epoxy resin or cement. Once the mixture is complete, it is poured onto the substate.

A very unique quality of terrazzo is it’s versatility. It can be used indoors and out. (Although, the epoxy binder is not recomended for outdoor use). Colors and designs can be custom made. It can be used in homes and businesses and it is extremly durable.
