Terrazzo - Witness your youthful years, why did Xiaowan say that? Recently, I saw such a conversation in a group, as shown in the picture below. As a post-90s terrazzo, what good memories do you have? So the editor checked the relevant information and found that this material was really "national material" in the 1980s. An uncle in the group said: When I was a child, I had schools, hospitals, movie theaters...everywhere, and there were especially many classics in public places. It can’t be blamed that we don’t know. After all, the terrazzo we see after 90s are all colored, and the colors are much richer than black and white.
Why was terrazzo so "simple" in the 1980s? It is not because of the aesthetics, but because of the efflorescence of the cement. The terrazzo of that year was generally off-white, forming the pale series of that year. Later, with the improvement of coloring and anti-alkali technology, more and more beautiful terrazzo materials became popular all over the world. Terrazzo is a product made by mixing crushed stone, glass, quartz stone and other materials into cement binders for coagulation, and then grinding and polishing. Therefore, most of the time it appears rough, with long construction period and high cost. Up to now, the manufacturing process of terrazzo has already improved several levels. Today's terrazzo is extremely smooth, and its expressive curves are very suitable for art decoration and styles that are prevalent now.
Nowadays, terrazzo is used more and more widely in the domestic home improvement industry, in addition to the ground, there are also walls, cabinets and countertops. Compared with decades ago, the "terrazzo" after the reunification has completely abandoned the old-fashioned, especially in the color design, soft macarons, beautiful metal color blocks, low-key grayscale... .The use of household items is also very good terrazzo
The common application of terrazzo elements is the wall. The new terrazzo design has a unique texture and elegant style. It is used for the TV background wall, kitchen or bathroom space, and is very suitable for the creation of the overall style. From a distance, it looks like simple wallpaper. It can be used locally, such as in the kitchen, where the walls and floors are unified. Can also be used in the bathroom. With natural and uncarved terrazzo elements, it brings a natural charm to the home, whether it is compatible with modern brass furniture or retro log furniture. There is also a terrazzo floor, which is similar to terrazzo, but the size is relatively small, generally 600*600mm. Used as the countertop of the sink, instead of traditional marble or tiles, it looks very tall and easy to take care of. Some simply serve as basins. In China, terrazzo can also be used for cabinet countertops. Advanced fiber technology not only increases the compressive strength of terrazzo, but also has flexibility, making it stretchable like chewing gum, without cracking, rolling resistance, high cleanliness, stain resistance and corrosion resistance.
The use of indoor terrazzo should not be a big space, it is better to start from a small place, such as the creative embellishment of kitchen countertops and bathroom countertops, making the home more artistic. Terrazzo was originally used as a material for the ground, so it is also very suitable for stairs. The terrazzo staircase design should not be too amazing, especially when matched with the sea blue handrails, it will take people to the romantic Aegean Sea vacation in a second.
You see, there are really too many terrazzo applications now, are you excited?
