What is terrazzo?

The origin of terrazzo is very long, which can be traced back to the ancient Egyptian period. The creativity of its formation comes from the mosaic craft of ancient Egypt.
Its production process is very complicated. The main material is cement, which is mixed with crushed stone, glass, jade seed material, quartz stone and other materials. After the mixed cement solidifies, it is polished and polished to become terrazzo.
In the United States, the heyday of terrazzo was from 1930 to 1970, when designers accepted polishing and unique visual texture, from Art Deco-style buildings to mid-century modern interior decoration.

Depending on the production process, terrazzo is divided into cast-in-place terrazzo and prefabricated terrazzo. Cast-in-place terrazzo is terrazzo that is directly mixed with cement and poured on site, and then polished and polished. The advantage of this process is that it has high integrity, and the ground can be completely seamless, avoiding dirt accumulation.
Most of the terrazzo we can see now is prefabricated sheet terrazzo, that is, after pouring in the factory, it is cut and polished into bricks and then transported to the site for laying. Prefabricated terrazzo is more controllable. It is produced in the factory, and the thickness, color, and uniformity of aggregates can be customized according to the user's requirements. Therefore, prefabricated terrazzo can meet the requirements of most places. "Runpin" is a very excellent and mature prefabricated "inorganic terrazzo" brand.

When it comes to terrazzo, wear resistance and dirt resistance are its most prominent advantages. Compared with decorative materials such as tiles, terrazzo has a very high hardness. It is almost difficult for hard heavy objects to cause any damage to the terrazzo floor when they fall on it. Therefore, its service life is very long and can be used for decades.
As a material with stone properties, terrazzo can easily resist pressure and has noise reduction performance. Compared with granite, marble, wooden floor and other materials with less ideal sound insulation, the unique surface of terrazzo can fully play the role of sound absorption and sound insulation after seamless treatment, solving the problem of noise.

In addition, from the perspective of environmental protection, the material of terrazzo has been screened and does not contain radioactive substances and radioactive pollution. It is very safe to use. Tactilely, terrazzo has moderate hardness and toughness, and better impact resistance than natural stone.
At the same time, the structure of terrazzo is dense and relatively clean. There are no micropores on its surface, liquid substances cannot penetrate, and bacteria cannot grow in it.
