Lockdown terrazzo design competition update 2021

Amazingly it’s a year since we ran our ‘terrazzo lockdown competition’, which challenged people to come up with an original terrazzo design. We have been working on some of the winning and runners-up designs, although these have had to be squeezed in between our commercial and residential bespoke terrazzo work. Of course we’ve also had two further lockdowns with their varying restrictions. However, we’re delighted to say that one of […]

These are more suitable for cladding walls due to their lighter weight, and also for floors where a low profile is needed. For flooring we would advise
