Terrazzo combines small marble (or other natural stones or glass) and cement (or similar binding material) into an aesthetic mix typically used for pavings, both indoors and outdoors. Irregularities of the surface are removed by honing or polishing procedures, which usually remove 3-5mm of the surface to fully flatten it out.
There are no limits to creativity – the range covers everything from colourful, chaotic patterns to regular, symmetric geometric shapes, which, of course, are more complicated to produce because they need to be laid out first before they can be surrounded by the well-known irregular mix of marble.
The work itself is highly complex, requring a lot of know-how of natural stone, a trained eye for beauty, and love and attention for and to details. As mentioned above, the Vianello family uses only manual labour, and their Terrazzo has a ratio of 70:30 in terms of marble vs. cement – much higher than the usual machine-made ratio of 50:50. The result is an epitome of beauty, lasting for centuries, literally.
The family loves their art and trade, and naturally they are fully booked well ahead into and until the end of the year. Nevertheless we hope that some of our clients who equally appreciate Terrazzo will eventually find their way to Gabriella, Giorgia, Stefano, and Marco.
