Terrazzo, on the other hand, has a much older history. Originating in 16th-century Venice, Terrazzo was initially developed by Venetian artisans as a cost-effective way to reuse marble remnants. It is made by embedding small pieces of marble, quartz, glass, or other aggregates into a cement or epoxy binder, then polishing the surface to a smooth finish. The result is a mosaic-like floor that is not only beautiful but also incredibly durable. Over time, Terrazzo has evolved, with epoxy-based versions becoming popular for their enhanced flexibility and ease of installation.
