Terrazzo!!

Yesterday I toured some homes with a feature I had not seen in residential homes: 

Terrazzo Flooring!! 

Being who I am and doing what I do, that meant coming home and doing all the googling. 

I have no idea how i have not seen these before, and then saw two in one day. I see so many houses, all the time. I guess it was just bad luck. 

So today I will introduce you to these AMAZING floors. 

What is Terrazzo? 

"Terrazzo—chips of marble, glass or other aggregates embedded in tinted cement, ground smooth and polished to a silky sheen—may have been yet another of mankind's accidental discoveries. In the 15th century, mosaic artisans in northen Italy swept waste marble chips out onto their terraces, terrazzi, and smoothed the surface simply by walking over it. When workers learned to press the chips into a more permanent clay base, then grind and polish them with heavy stones, terrazzo caught on. Michelangelo used it in St. Peter's Basilica. George Washington strode over it in his cherished Mount Vernon. In the 1950s, Richard Neutra and other modernist architects specified terrazzo in their designs, and by the '60s, it covered floors in developer houses across the Southeast and Southwest. But as installation costs rose, terrazzo once again became a relatively pricey option—approx. $10 or more a square foot—for custom-built houses."

It comes in many colors, depending on the materials used and is all one large smooth cool surface, perfect for homes with pets or children that can destroy hardwoods or tile grout.
