We’ve been talking about tile lately but have you thought about Terrazzo as a modern alternative? The samples above are from cletile.com as part of their Cinema Collection. But what is the origin of Terrazzo anyway? Terrazzo is a composite material thought to be created by the Venetians made of marble clippings that are set in cement. I tend to think of Terrrzzo as a modern application, but archaeologists have found this type of flooring dating back 8,000-10,000 years ago. While Terrazzo is expensive, it is a sustainable product that uses recycled materials.
Terrazzo can be used in bathrooms, kitchens or even as flooring in the public spaces of your home. You can choose to go with Terrazzo that has saturated color or a choice with creamy neutrals. I was so excited to see the the inspiration behind the color palette for these new Terrazzo products that you can view on the Cle’ Tile website. Either way, you will have a durable, modern surface that brings an element of surprise. and each one is just as cool and interesting as the next
