Terrazzo is best described as what?

• A. A Special Combination Of Colored Rock And Glass For Floors
• B. A Cementitious Coating For Walls
• C. A Type Of Steel Reinforcement
• D. A Decorative Veneer For Countertops

Answer: (A)

Terrazzo is a decorative flooring material formed by embedding chips of colored rock (often marble) and sometimes glass into a cementitious or epoxy binder, then grinding and polishing the surface to a smooth finish. This description captures the idea of a special combination of colored rock and glass used for floors. It’s not simply a cementitious coating for walls, not a type of steel reinforcement, and although terrazzo can be used on countertops in some cases, it’s most commonly known as a floor material rather than a veneer.
