Many people, especially those new to South Florida, aren&#8217;t exactly sure what terrazzo is. According to The National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association, the word terrazzo is derived from the italian &#8220;terrace&#8221; or &#8220;terrazza&#8221; and was defined over the centuries as &#8220;a form of mosaic flooring made by embedding small pieces of marble in mortar, and then polishing&#8221;.

<p>Many people, especially those new to South Florida, aren&#8217;t exactly sure what terrazzo is. According to The <a title="What is Terrazzo" href="http://www.ntma.com/05_what_is_terrazzo.cfm" target="_blank">National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association</a>, the word terrazzo is derived from the italian &#8220;terrace&#8221; or &#8220;terrazza&#8221; and was defined over the centuries as &#8220;a form of mosaic flooring made by embedding small pieces of marble in mortar, and then polishing&#8221;.</p>
<p>Today, the NTMA defines this traditional material as follows: &#8220;Terrazzo consists of marble, granite, onyx or glass chips in portland cement or resinous material. The terrazzo is poured, cured, ground and polished. &#8221;</p>
<p>According to <a title="what is terrazzo" href="http://www.marblemasteruk.com/what_is_terrazzo.htm" target="_blank">Marble Masters UK</a>, Terrazzo has been used as a flooring product since Roman tomes. Today it enjoys an enviable reputation as an attractive hard flooring that delivers an appealing combination of durability, ease of maintenance, beauty and performance.</p>
<p>Terrazzo is an amazingly &#8220;green&#8221; product. It is environmentally safe to install or restore (if green , chemical- free methods are used by experts such as <a title="expert terrazzo restoration" href="http://www.colonialfloorandstonecare.com/privacy.php" target="_blank">Colonial Floor Care</a>). It is also easy to maintain and very hygenic. It does not harbor dust mites or mold, and helps keep Florida homes cool.</p>
