✅ What are terrazzo tiles?

Terrazzo tiles are made from chips of marble, quartz, granite, or glass set into a cement or resin base. They offer a speckled, multi-tonal look that’s both decorative and hard-wearing—ideal for modern and classic interiors alike.

✅ Where can I use terrazzo tiles?

Terrazzo tiles are incredibly versatile and suitable for:

• Kitchen and bathroom floors
• Feature walls and splashbacks
• Hallways and entryways
• Commercial spaces like cafés or boutiques
• Outdoor areas (check for frost-resistant options)

✅ What styles are trending in terrazzo tiles?

• ✨ Soft Pastel Chips – Muted tones with subtle speckling—great for Scandi or minimalist interiors.
• ✨ Bold, Colourful Mixes – Statement terrazzo with large, vibrant chips for a retro or eclectic vibe.
• ✨ Monochrome Terrazzo – Black, white, and grey tones for a sleek, contemporary look.
• ✨ Micro Terrazzo – Fine-grain patterns for a more refined, uniform finish.
• ✨ Large-Format Terrazzo – Fewer grout lines and a seamless, expansive feel.

✅ What tile adhesive should I use for terrazzo tiles?

Use a flexible, rapid-set adhesive suitable for porcelain or cement-based tiles. For heavy or large-format terrazzo, ensure the adhesive is rated for high load-bearing surfaces.

✅ What grout is best for terrazzo tiles?

Choose a flexible, stain-resistant grout that complements the tile’s base colour or chip tones. Narrow joints help maintain a clean, uninterrupted look.

✅ Do I need tile trims for terrazzo tiles?

Yes—tile trims protect exposed edges and give a polished finish, especially around steps, corners, or transitions. Choose from brushed metal or colour-matched trims.

✅ How do I clean and maintain terrazzo tiles?

Sweep regularly and clean with a pH-neutral tile cleaner. Avoid acidic or abrasive products, especially on cement-based terrazzo. Sealing may be recommended depending on the tile type.

✅ Can I install terrazzo tiles myself?

Yes—terrazzo tiles can be DIY-friendly with proper prep. Ensure a level surface, use spacers for even joints, and follow adhesive and grout instructions carefully. Large-format tiles may require two-person handling.
