Embrace the terrazzo tile trend with Hyperion Tiles

Family-run, independent online tiles specialist Hyperion Tiles reveals the origins of terrazzo tiles, where to use them, how to care for them and the high-quality alternatives, which look just like the real thing, on our new blog.

Terrazzo is a composite material that tends to consist of marble chips, quartz, glass, granite or shell and can provide the perfect way to add pattern to your project.

Our director Richard Skeoch explains: "On our blog, you'll discover some of our most popular terrazzo tiles and some examples of my favourites. This tile style originates from 16th century Italy, however their origins date all the way back to mosaics in ancient Egypt. What was once a way in which to reuse and recycle marble and other material off-cuts, terrazzo has become a popular choice for an entire range of high-end tiling applications.

"I offer expert advice on how to care for your tiles and where you can use them, such as floor tiles, which make an excellent choice for high-traffic areas. And, if you prefer the terrazzo look, I show you how you can get the look with terrazzo-effect tiles on porcelain, cement or vinyl."
