Our philosophy
At TerrazzoWerk, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technologies to create terrazzo and concrete products of the highest quality. Our commitment is to promoting concrete as a contemporary element in modern design concepts. In addition to our high quality standards and durability, we place great emphasis on the use of sustainable materials.

Our concrete
For our concrete mixes, we primarily use a combination of white cement, natural sand, and high-quality aggregates. These include marble, limestone, granite, dolomite, basalt, colored glass chippings, seashells, and recycled concrete in various sieves. To color the cement matrix, we use high-quality, lightfast pigments, mostly consisting of iron oxide. These pigments are electrostatically bonded to the concrete structure and retain their original color depth even after decades of outdoor exposure. Additives such as volcanic ash, silica dust, fly ash, or limestone powder are added as needed; these can positively influence certain concrete properties. The skillful combination of these materials allows us to create unique color contrasts and mosaic-like textures of breathtaking beauty. Each piece is unique .

Surface treatment
Concrete surfaces can be processed and designed in a variety of ways, including stonemasonry, structural formwork, the use of photo-concrete, grinding, brushing, washing, or acid treatment. The most common method is grinding, as this process best showcases the aggregate used in the concrete, and the ground pieces are very easy to maintain with the appropriate final surface treatment (impregnation).

Know-how
The production of premium concrete products of this kind requires a tremendous amount of expertise, artistic creativity, and craftsmanship. Our experienced craftspeople are trained and specialized in the production of artistically designed terrazzo and concrete products. Each team member at TerrazzoWerk brings their individual expertise and passion to the manufacturing process to ensure that each product is not only technically flawless but also a visual masterpiece. Everything takes place under the direction of our owner, Patrick Schefe, who holds the two rare master titles of "Master Stone and Terrazzo Manufacturer" (HWK) and "Master of the Concrete Block Industry" (IHK).
