About Terrazzo : Invented by Venetian mosaic masters in Italy in the 1400s, this floor covering material was first made from pieces of leftover marble placed in clay and mixed with goat's milk. Terrazzo's enduring beauty and extreme durability means it's enjoying a current revival in both commercial and residential applications. Terrazzo is a sophisticated composite flooring material made from precast marble chipping embedded in a base of cement or epoxy resin. It is mechanically polished without the use of chemicals to create a smooth, uniform surface, making Terrazzo an ecologically friendly and low maintenance option.
