Terrazzo Blog

In this blog post, you'll learn how to create a high-quality terrazzo tabletop. Terrazzo, a fascinating concrete design, originated in Venice and has been valued for its aesthetic and robust properties for over 500 years. Today, terrazzo is popular not only as a flooring material but also as a versatile material for furniture and decorations.

Key aspects of the manufacturing process:

1. Formwork construction : The base for the table top is made of robust materials such as wood or metal to ensure a smooth surface.
2. Mixture calculation and production : A carefully measured mixture of cement, marble chippings, water and color pigments is prepared and thoroughly mixed.
3. Reinforcement and built-in components : Inlaid steel or fiberglass mesh and necessary built-in components ensure stability and functionality.
4. Concreting and curing : The mixture is poured into the formwork, compacted and left to cure for 24 to 48 hours.
5. Sanding and polishing : After curing, rough and fine sanding takes place to achieve a high-gloss surface.
6. Sealing : Finally, the surface is sealed with a special impregnation solution to protect it from moisture and dirt.

Materials and tools : To make a terrazzo table top, you will need a food processor, cement, water, flow agent, color pigments, marble chips, reinforcement, formwork, vibrator, sander and sanding pads.

This detailed manufacturing process shows how handcrafted terrazzo furniture is created and how you can create your own unique terrazzo tabletop.
