Great question! The terrazzo pattern is printed on the surface of the porcelain tile, not made from actual aggregate chips embedded throughout the tile like traditional poured terrazzo.
However, this is a colored-body porcelain tile, meaning the underlying porcelain body is tinted to coordinate more closely with the surface color. This helps make minor chips or edge wear less noticeable compared to standard porcelain with a contrasting body color.
The result is a tile that captures the look of authentic terrazzo while offering the durability, low maintenance, and stain resistance of porcelain. It's a popular choice for residential and commercial floors, bathrooms, kitchens, and other high-traffic spaces where the terrazzo aesthetic is desired without the maintenance requirements of traditional terrazzo installations.
If you're looking for a true through-body terrazzo product with visible aggregate throughout the material, feel free to reach out and we'd be happy to discuss the differences and help you compare options.
