What is seamless terrazzo?
Seamless terrazzo is a material created through a complex application and polishing process, resulting in seamless flooring of exceptional beauty and great resistance to the passage of time. This means you can enjoy flooring that lasts a lifetime, as it is easy to maintain and can readily be renewed by polishing.
Seamless terrazzo offers unlimited design possibilities, as Byond's range of finishes provides a wide variety of attractive options, incorporating colours, shapes, borders, patterns and logos into the surface, as well as the possibility of combining it with various materials such as optical fibres, stone, glass or metal.
Benefits of seamless terrazzo
There are various reasons to use this flooring in a project, with some of its most important benefits being:
- Compaction: the combination of the binder mortar, its different thicknesses and the aggregate grading curve (higher than in other flooring) produces a compact material that hardly deteriorates.
- Durability and insulation: unlike floor or wall tiles, seamless terrazzo has no joints other than contraction joints. This prevents water from seeping through, meaning the terrazzo will remain in perfect condition for longer.
- Customisation: the material can be chosen in virtually any shape, design and colour.
- No dirt: dirt cannot penetrate any open pores or joints, so it is very easy to maintain optimum hygiene. It is also a material that does not require much care to look good.
- Manufactured on site: with no edges, as there are no changes in level or height, reducing the possibility of falls or trips. It is the perfect flooring, as even people with disabilities can move around with complete peace of mind and without obstacles.
History of seamless terrazzo
Originating in Italy, terrazzo first began to be made more than 500 years ago, when road workers used stone offcuts for the flooring in their own homes. Initially, the finish was irregular and uneven, but as methods advanced, its benefits became apparent.
With today's refined polishing techniques, its great versatility and the possibility of creating customised designs and colours, this type of flooring has become one of the most valued and widely used materials today.
Its use has become popular across a multitude of projects, as it is one of the most cost-effective options compared with conventional marble and granite stone. Thanks to its durability, very simple maintenance and design qualities, it continues to be widely used today, especially for restoring old floors with a rich history.
