Terrazzo is being increasingly noticed for its alluring design potential both indoors and outdoors, as the intricate detail of the marble chips creates an exceptional, modern look.
Best Bricks & Pavers (‘Best’) has been producing Terrazzo since 1997, and the popularity of this unique material has surged recently and been featured on reality program The Block, seen in chic homeware designs and is being used for both residential and commercial spaces.
Terrazzo is said to have been developed approximately 600 years ago in Venice, Italy when quarry workers would take marble offcuts home to create their own floors by setting the offcuts into a sand and cement mortar. Many years later, Best produces their Terrazzo tiles here, locally in South Australia.
