Architectural Terrazzo Agglotech: frequently asked questions
What is Agglotech Architectural Terrazzo?
Architectural Terrazzo by Agglotech is a marble and cement agglomerate, produced in solid blocks from which slabs and special pieces are cut. Unlike traditional on-site terrazzo, it is industrially manufactured in Italy with precise control over composition, grain size and colour, ensuring chromatic uniformity and consistent performance even across large surfaces. It contains no resins or chemical additives: every component is of mineral origin and 100% recyclable.
What applications is Agglotech terrazzo used for?
Architectural Terrazzo by Agglotech is used for flooring, wall cladding, staircases, ventilated façades, solid block work, and the supply of raw blocks and slabs. It is suited to both interior and exterior environments, across residential, commercial, hospitality and large public space contexts. The same material can flow across horizontal and vertical planes, indoors and outdoors, ensuring visual continuity throughout the entire project.
How many colours are available? Is it possible to develop custom colours?
The standard catalogue includes over 70 colour variants, organised into collections by tonal family. When a project calls for a specific identity, Agglotech’s technical team works alongside the designer to develop custom colours and grain sizes, jointly defining aggregate composition, matrix and surface finish. The internal archive holds over 8,000 formulations developed over the years.
Is Agglotech terrazzo suitable for high-traffic spaces?
Yes. Architectural Terrazzo is dimensionally stable, abrasion-resistant and suitable for environments subject to heavy pedestrian traffic. Its technical properties, surface hardness, compressive strength and coefficient of friction, are fully documented and available in the Technical Area of the website. It has been installed in airports, museums, university campuses and large commercial complexes worldwide.
Does Agglotech support designers during the project development phase?
Technical and creative support on Architectural Terrazzo is an integral part of the working process. Agglotech works alongside architects and interior designers from concept definition through to installation: colour development, construction details, laying solutions and product technical data sheets. The aim is not to select from a catalogue, but to build the material response to the project together.
Is Agglotech terrazzo a sustainable material?
Architectural Terrazzo is composed exclusively of natural materials, free from resins and chemical additives, and is 100% recyclable. The production process is oriented towards reducing environmental impact. Agglotech holds EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) certification and has obtained Benefit Corporation status, assuming formal responsibilities towards the environment, the local area and the community in which it operates.
