You may be seeing more and more Terrazzo design trends showing up everywhere you look. Terrazzo originated in Italy and is a composite material poured in place or precast and used for floor and wall treatments. It consists of chips of marble, quartz, granite, glass, or other suitable materials, poured with a cementitious binder. Metal strips divide sections of different colors or materials in a pattern. Additional chips may be sprinkled atop the mix before it sets. After it is cured, it is ground, polished, smooth, or otherwise finished to produce a uniformly textured surface.
We can’t deny that we love the look of Terrazzo. You can easily incorporate Terrazzo into your home, and we’ve brought some ideas to help get you started.
In the kitchen
If you want to incorporate Terrazzo into your kitchen, the most prominent place would be your countertops. While these countertops are beautiful and trendy, they are extremely heavy, and installation can be tricky. For this reason, it’s not recommended that you attempt to install Terrazzo countertops on your own.
A countertop installer near you can help you get the job done for around $3,000, including $10 to $30 per square foot for labor.
