The cement base is tinted to a beige tone—not too dark, not too light, like dried loam or aged rice paper. Inside are embedded two types of natural marble chips: white and red, each measuring between one and three centimeters. These chips are not machine-tumbled; they are crushed stone, screened to size, so no two share the same shape. Some are flat, some thick, some with sharp edges, others already rounded from handling.
White chips read clean; red chips catch the eye. The two colors are interspersed within the beige cement. From a distance they look like assorted pebbles scattered on warm ground; up close, the natural veining of each marble chip is visible. One-centimeter fragments mix with three-centimeter pieces, the smaller ones naturally filling the gaps between the larger, while cement paste fills all remaining voids. After grinding, the surface is a single flat plane without noticeable depressions, solid underfoot.
This is an inorganic, cement-based terrazzo, different from resin-based organic slabs. Once the cement sets, the slab is dense and heavy, with stronger compression and wear resistance than resin boards. It can handle the foot traffic of shopping malls, hotel lobbies, and home living rooms. However, cement naturally has capillary pores. Without sealing, water and oil can penetrate and leave marks. Therefore, crystallization treatment is mandatory after installation to close the pores, followed by waxing every few months to maintain the sheen. Daily cleaning requires only a damp mop; avoid strong acids or alkalis.
The palette of a beige base with red and white chips is warm, carrying the grounded feel of earth with a touch of natural liveliness. At home, it works for living room and dining room floors, as well as kitchen countertops. In commercial spaces such as bakeries, themed restaurants, guesthouse lobbies, and showrooms, the color is approachable and timeless. Large slabs are cut to site dimensions, minimizing joints, and are ready for use after proper maintenance.
In plain terms, this is a cement-based terrazzo with a beige base and white and red marble chips. The surface is dense, the tone is warm, and the hardness is high—but remember to seal and maintain it, or the surface will show age over time.
