Terrazzo has been used underfoot for centuries. And it's easy to see why. Chips of marble, quartz or glass set into a cement or resin binder create a surface with character and depth that improves with age.
We stock both real terrazzo tiles and terrazzo effect tiles in porcelain, so you can choose the approach that suits your home. Real terrazzo carries a natural variation that's hard to replicate. Terrazzo effect tiles offer the same visual appeal in a surface that's simpler to look after. Looking for a bolder choice? Our green terrazzo tiles sit beautifully in kitchens and bathrooms, working well with natural wood, warm plaster and brushed metals.
Order a sample first. Seeing the tone and texture in your own light makes the decision much easier.
Real terrazzo tiles are a composite of marble, quartz, granite or glass chips set into a cement or resin binder, then ground and polished smooth. Terrazzo effect tiles are glazed porcelain, designed to replicate the characteristic speckled look with a more consistent finish and easier upkeep.
Terrazzo tiles are a good choice for bathroom floors.Porcelain terrazzo effect tiles work particularly well in bathrooms as they are slip resistant when wet, don't absorb moisture and they're straightforward to clean.
Green terrazzo tiles are well suited to kitchens, utility rooms and bathrooms. Deeper greens work especially well next to natural wood, warm plaster and brushed metals, adding colour without overwhelming a scheme.
Terrazzo effect porcelain tiles are highly durable and resist scratching, staining and heavy use. They're the perfect choice for kitchens, hallways and family bathrooms. Real terrazzo lasts just as long, but it does need periodic sealing and specialist care to keep its polished finish.
The right choice is about how much upkeep you want. Real terrazzo carries a depth and natural variation that porcelain can't quite match. Terrazzo effect tiles are easier to maintain and more consistent. They're a practical choice for busy households or anyone who wants lower maintenance.
