Terrazzo is one of the most sought after materials for building flooring, walls, benchtop, furniture and etc. It is extremely durable and weather out any tough environment. This article we will discuss where this elegant material is being sourced by terrazzo suppliers in Australia.

Composition of Terrazzo

* Portland Cement– there are two types of Portland cement being used for Terrazzo namely white and grey. This type of cement is used to match preferred colours and textures by clients. Portland cement are made from limestone. It is considered very tough and durable. Concrete produced from Portland cement is one of the most versatile construction materials available in the world.

* Sand– sand being used for Terrazzo are clean, hard, natural. They are manufactured conforming with the S.A.A. No. A77 specifications for fine aggregate.

* Marble Chips–  these are standard quarry products of sizes and colors necessary to match samples. Marble chips provide additional colors and textures for terrazzo tiles. They provide the prestigious look similar to marble tiles.

A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. This physical process differs from fluorescence, phosphorescence, and other forms of luminescence, in which a material emits light.

Many materials selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light. Materials that humans have chosen and developed for use as pigments usually have special properties that make them ideal for coloring other materials. A pigment must have a high tinting strength relative to the materials it colors. It must be stable in solid form at ambient temperatures.
