Top 3 Reasons to Use Terrazzo External Pavers
Terrazzo as a building material as a whole has been widely preferred over other flooring systems in the market today for both indoor and outdoor installations since it was first accidentally discovered. For outdoor flooring projects such as driveways, garden walkways, sidewalks or just about any project that would elevate “curb appeal”, the ideal material to use would be terrazzo – terrazzo external pavers to be exact.
Terrazzo external pavers are the perfect choice for any outdoor installation. Here are the top 3 reasons why.

Most of the very first terrazzo installations can still be found all over Venice, Italy which in itself is a glowing testimony to terrazzo’s resilience and durability. With the advancements made on terrazzo, it has only become stronger and more durable. One main factor for the terrazzo external paver’s durability is its density which allows it to not absorb water that could corrode and weaken from the inside.
Environmentally and Pedestrian Safe

Additionally, post-consumer products like glass and other natural stone chips can be added into the mix to further make any terrazzo installation environmentally sound. Terrazzo external pavers however are not just safe for the environment. It is also safe for pedestrians because it can be installed with an anti-slip finish making walking in the rain that much safer for people who are in a hurry to get indoors.
