The terrazzo trend, which has been with us since the beginning of the 15th century, has gone through many incarnations and today it is back in full force. Terrazzo tiles are considered spectacular in their beauty, durable, and high-quality in their appearance that conveys luxury and style.
Terrazzo is made from aggregates of marble, quartz, granite, and various types of stone with the addition of natural pigment, embedded in cement. Terrazzo tiles are used for both flooring and wall coverings. The tiles come in various sizes ranging from 20*20, 30*30 and 40*40 and come in several types of finishes: polished, matte or R10 (anti-slip).

Terrazzo originated in Venice, Italy. It was invented by construction workers who collected leftover marble, quartz, granite, and other types of stone aggregates from their work on luxury projects, mixed them with clay and goat's milk to seal and give them a shine, and poured them into the courtyards around their homes. This material was a durable, spectacular, and low-cost flooring material.
In 1920, with the beginning of the use of industrial electric grinders and relatively advanced electrical equipment for the time, terrazzo production became much easier.
These days, Aloni is renewing the terrazzo tradition and offering special series that include a wide variety, from classic to modern terrazzo tiles, combining the tradition of Venetian artists and advanced technology - the Granillia series, the Pastina series, the Gre Veneziana series, the Anime series, and the Romanorum Opus Musibum series (Photo: Daily Press).
