Why terrazzo countertop is good choice

Terrazzo countertops are the latest trends in interior design now in the world or in our country Vietnam.

Before you get on board the trend wave, let’s understand the pros and cons of terrazzo countertops.

1. Very heat Resistant

Terrazzo stone base on cement is highly resistant to heat. So it is very suitable for kitchen countertops and backsplashes that are near the stove, oven and other heat sources.

On the scale of heat resistance, terrazzo is comparable to granite. Despite containing marble chips, terrazzo countertops cool down very fast, unlike natural marble countertops.

If you’re working without a heat pad, it’s not a problem. You can safely leave a hot object onto your terrazzo countertop without worries. Your surface integrity is protected from scorching and darkening.

2. So much durable

Terrazzo is manufactured by TKT Factory with very high compressive strength from 40-100 Mpa. The vacuum-and-vibration process produces a very compact and durable material that can withstand heavy machinery with many tons and foot traffic very often.

If you are looking for a long-lasting product, TKT Factory terrazzo has a hardness of 4 to 6. This makes it a very strong material.

3. Versatile usage

Before terrazzo stone was primarily used as a flooring material.

Today, its usage has expanded to include kitchen countertops, backsplashes, table surfaces, shower stalls, feature walls, and staircase and wall cladding.

Its resistance towards high heat, UV rays and natural elements makes it also suitable for outdoor usage.

For even more unconventional designs, you’ll also find terrazzo appearing on statement pieces of décor such as planters, coasters, and even lamp holders.

4. Eco-Friendly Countertop Material

As society progresses, awareness of the environment has also improved. Homeowners looking for more eco-friendly materials for the kitchen will give terrazzo a nod of approval.
