Terrazzo is cement with aggregate, cured and polished until the aggregate shows. At Mosaics Torra we select natural aggregates and mineral pigments for each design.

Design your terrazzo in the simulator
Terrazzo is made from four ingredients: cement, fine sand, mineral pigments and marble, stone or glass aggregate. The mix is cast in its mould, cured, then polished until the aggregate shows on the surface.
From the same base, with no visible aggregate and a microcement finish, we make the coloured concrete for our bespoke pieces.
We carefully select a combination of coloured glass fragments, river pebbles and natural minerals in different shades and sizes. These materials give each piece strength and visual depth. Each composition can be designed for the project, to match its look or the client’s preferences, for a balanced terrazzo of its own.
The size of the aggregate changes the piece. Fine-grain terrazzo gives a uniform surface; coarse-grain terrazzo shows every stone. The colour and shape of the aggregate vary from batch to batch, because it is a natural material.
Five steps, from the mix to the sealed piece. Terrazzo is not fired in a kiln.
Terrazzo and concrete are not fired in a kiln: the cement sets and the piece cures. Our tiles cure for a minimum of 28 days before they leave the factory.
Four ingredients: cement, fine sand, mineral pigments and aggregate. A sealed piece is cleaned with water and a pH-neutral soap. When use calls for it, it is protected again with a sealer or a wax.
Is terrazzo sustainable? To claim that about a product, European rules require recognised proof, such as an official ecolabel. We don't currently have one, so we only tell you what we can prove.
Cleaning and maintenance
Torra terrazzo comes in a range of geometric formats that combine functionality and aesthetics. We make square, rectangular and hexagonal tiles. The whole terrazzo range can be customised in base colour and aggregate type to suit each client. Our terrazzo has a protective surface layer. Images are for guidance only and the final result may vary slightly due to the natural characteristics of the materials. Torra tile samples currently measure 10×10 cm. Contact us for more information. Tile size can be adjusted to the project, up to a maximum of 1×2 m.
In 30×30 and 60×60 cm, and in custom sizes up to 200×100 cm. 16 mm thick (18 mm in large formats).
We use the same mix to make terrazzo tiles and bespoke pieces for kitchens, bathrooms and commercial spaces.

What it's made of, how it's made and how to look after it.
Cement with marble, stone or glass aggregate, cured and polished to reveal the aggregate.
Cement, fine sand, mineral pigments and marble, stone or glass aggregate.
We make terrazzo tiles in four lines: Mix, Stone, Pattern and Crystal. Bespoke pieces come in Mix, Stone and Monocolor, our coloured concrete with a microcement finish.
The size of the aggregate. Fine grain gives a uniform surface; coarse grain shows every stone. In Mix the aggregate is small; in Stone, it is medium to large.
Cement, sand, pigment and aggregate are mixed together. The mix goes into its mould, cures for at least 28 days without a kiln and is polished until the aggregate shows. It is sealed at the factory before dispatch.
As square, rectangular and hexagonal terrazzo tiles, in 30×30 and 60×60 cm, and in custom sizes up to 200×100 cm. They are 16 mm thick (18 mm in large formats) and the sample is 10×10 cm.
It is terrazzo whose surface has been ground down until the aggregate shows. Ours is polished and sealed at the factory. At home, clean it with water and a pH-neutral soap, with no acids or ammonia. When use calls for it, renew the protection with a sealer or a wax.
They share the same base: cement, sand and pigment. Terrazzo contains marble, stone or glass aggregate, which comes through when it is polished; coloured concrete stays smooth, in a single colour.
Yes. The whole terrazzo range can be customised in base colour and type of aggregate. In the simulator you can try out the combination before you request a sample.
