What is Terrazzo? Terrazzo flooring systems have existed for centuries, dating back to the Roman times. Marble chips, byproducts of exquisite sculptures, were mixed with cement and ground to a polished finish to create the original terrazzo flooring system. This enduring mixture is still used today, but with a few modern modifications.
