Is Terrazzo A Type Of Stone ？
Terrazzo stone is not a kind of stone in the traditional sense. It is a composite material made of a mixture of marble, granite, quartz, glass, or other suitable materials, poured with cement adhesive (for chemical bonding), polymer (for physical bonding), or a combination of both. These materials are usually ground into fragments and then mixed with adhesive. Then pour the mixture into the mold and allow it to solidify. Once solidified, Terrazzo can be ground and polished to achieve a smooth surface.
Therefore, although Terrazzo does contain stone, it is not natural stone. It is an artificial material made of multiple materials. However, it is usually called "Terrazzo" or "Terrazzo tile" because it has the appearance and feeling of natural stone.
The following are some main differences between Terrazzo and natural stone:
Terrazzo is an artificial material, while natural stone is a natural material.
Terrazzo can be made of many kinds of materials, while natural stone is usually made of one kind of stone.
Terrazzo is usually cheaper than natural stone.
Terrazzo is more durable than natural stone.
Ultimately, the type of material that is most suitable for your project will depend on your specific needs and preferences.
