02/16/2023Terrazzo 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.
Terrazzo uses a lot of recycled material such as various stone chips (granite, marble, quartz, etc) and glass fragments in its production. These fragments are combined with cement and resin to create unique looking slabs.
The entire process of using recycled components and the absence of volatile organic compounds (VOC) make terrazzo a greener and more sustainable product.
5. Wide Range of Texture Variety
Terrazzo uses a variety of stone and glass fragments to produce a wide range of designs. Whether you prefer minimalist neutral shades or colourful specks, the style can be easily incorporated into your modern home.
Modern terrazzo comes in a variety of beautiful and bold colours. Because it comprises of natural materials, there will be a slight difference in veining, colour and tone.

6. Last Trendy

Terrazzo has a very distinct style that may not appeal to all. Also, how long will terrazzo continue to surf the trend? Only time will tell.
However, the fact that it has made a new and improved comeback is a very telling sign that it is here to stay.
Come here, you can conclude that terrazzo counter top is suitable and is the good choice for you.

We are starting our kitchen project within the next two weeks. We have been looking everywhere for a retailer who sells the terrazzo countertop. We live in the city of Riverside, California. Can you recommend a retailer that will not only sell but install the countertop?
