Terrazzo tile is estimated to have appeared in Venice, Italy, during the 16th century. It is considered the oldest known green flooring product, according to many experts. According to what we know, terrazzo is a product obtained by mixing in the cement mortar, including the marble and granite stones poured by the builders and has become a method used for hundreds of years from the moment it was found.
How to apply Terrazzo Tile?
Terrazzo tile has become a lot easier to implement with the emergence of electric devices, especially in the early 20th century. Terrazzo was later used with epoxy resins which are considered to have high chemical resistance and high binding power, together with the scientific and technical developments.
Terrazzo is still used today with more vivid colours and more colourful architectural design than its first usage period. The long-lasting structure and low cost of terrazzo particularly make it an advantageous product.
What are the cost advantages?
To calculate costs, it is first necessary to consider traditional floor coatings. The cost of material is especially high during the usage time of these conventional floor coatings, and maintenance should be regular and not delayed. However, when terrazzo is used, the system becomes less costly. Considering the long-life materialistic state, its maintenance and repair costs are not too high.
In addition, terrazzo products are also used in many different functions in different areas, making them very valuable. Because it is sometimes used for attraction with its patterns and for adding volume to the construction volume, it attracts attention both with its image and its quality.
In addition, it is a durable and quality product as it doesn’t contain volatile chemicals, protects its resistance even under challenging conditions. As a significant indicator of its quality and durability, it is used in many countries’ hospitals. As a harmless product, terrazzo is a superior product compared to many other competitors. For example, terrazzo tiles don’t sweat like natural stone, carpet or similar products and prevent the emergence of microbiological and harmful situations such as bacteria, fungi etc. These properties highlight the reasons for the preference for terrazzo tiles.
