Installation & Technical Guide
| Technical Factor | Architectural Consideration | Recommended Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Dry-Laying Pattern | Managing random aggregate faces | Mix tiles from multiple boxes during installation to ensure an even, natural distribution of terrazzo chips and cement shade variations. |
| Adhesive Selection | Floor & wall loading management | Use a high-strength, flexible cementitious tile adhesive suitable for heavy-duty porcelain applications on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. |
| Maintenance & Sealing | Porcelain vs. natural cement/terrazzo | Unlike poured concrete or natural cement tiles that require regular chemical sealing, our porcelain body is non-porous and easy to clean with mild detergent. |
Frequently Asked Questions About Terrazzo & Cement Tiles
Can these porcelain tiles be used on both walls and floors? +
Yes, absolutely. Because they are manufactured from high-density porcelain, they possess the structural strength required for heavy-duty floor installations while remaining completely safe and suitable for vertical applications like feature walls and backsplashes.
What interior design styles work best with terrazzo and raw cement tiles? +
These tiles are the defining choice for Industrial, Modern Brutalist, Contemporary Minimalist, and Japandi interiors. Whether creating an urban loft vibe or a clean, monolithic feature wall, their raw textures establish a sophisticated architectural atmosphere.
What is the advantage of porcelain terrazzo over traditional poured terrazzo? +
Traditional poured terrazzo is time-consuming to install, expensive, and prone to cracking or staining. Porcelain terrazzo tiles offer the exact same high-end aesthetic with a pre-finished surface that requires no grinding, polishing, or complex chemical sealing after installation.
