Poured terrazzo and the porcelain version
Real terrazzo is marble, granite or glass chips set into a cement or resin binder, poured in place, then ground and polished flat once cured. It is seamless, extremely durable and genuinely lovely — and it takes weeks, needs a specialist contractor, and costs several times what a tiled floor does.
Porcelain terrazzo reproduces the chip scatter as a printed and pressed surface. You lose the seamlessness and gain everything else: a fixed price, a floor that is finished when the grout cures, no sealing, and the ability to replace a damaged tile instead of patching a poured surface.
The design has come back strongly in the last few years, and the porcelain versions have improved with it — chip density, chip colour and ground tone are all now produced across a wide range rather than the single grey-and-white terrazzo of institutional corridors.
Our full body terrazzo is worth noting specifically: because the aggregate is pressed through the body rather than printed on it, the chips continue into a cut edge. That lets a mitred corner or a ground skirting read as one continuous material, which a printed tile cannot do.

વારંવાર પૂછાતા પ્રશ્નો
What are terrazzo tiles?
Tiles reproducing the look of poured terrazzo — aggregate chips scattered through a contrasting ground. In porcelain the effect is printed or pressed into the body rather than being real chips set in binder.
Is terrazzo tile better than poured terrazzo?
It is far cheaper and far quicker — finished when the grout cures rather than after weeks of pouring, grinding and sealing — and a damaged tile can be replaced. Poured terrazzo wins on seamlessness, which is a real advantage on very large floors.
Does terrazzo tile need sealing?
No. Unlike cement-based poured terrazzo, a glazed or full body porcelain tile is impervious and never needs a sealer.
Can terrazzo tiles be used on walls?
Yes, and the smaller chip scales work particularly well full-height in bathrooms and behind reception desks, where a floor-scale aggregate would be too busy.
