White Terrazzo Worktop

Expertly crafted from durable white terrazzo, this worktop adds a touch of sophistication to any kitchen or bathroom. Its clean and modern design is both stylish and functional, offering a durable and easy to clean surface for all your cooking or grooming needs.

Understanding the Installation Methods of White Terrazzo Worktops

Terrazzo installation can be categorized into three main methods: dry hanging, wet sticking, and prefabricated slabs. Each technique offers distinct advantages depending on the application.

1. Installing Terrazzo on Walls

Terrazzo craftsmanship is primarily divided into two types:

• Cast-in-place terrazzo
• Prefabricated terrazzo

When applying terrazzo to walls, prefabricated terrazzo slabs are the only viable option. Cast-in-place terrazzo is unsuitable for wall applications due to:

1. Thermal expansion and contraction, which could cause cracking.
2. Difficulties in polishing the surface after installation.

Prefabricated white terrazzo worktop slabs can be understood as natural stone or ceramic tiles in terms of installation. These slabs are installed using either dry hanging or wet sticking techniques, followed by an overall polishing process for a seamless finish.

Dry Hanging vs. Wet Sticking:

• Dry Hanging: Similar to stone cladding, it allows for ventilation and reduces stress on the wall.
• Wet Sticking: Uses adhesives or mortar to attach terrazzo directly to the surface, making it more secure but less breathable.

Thickness Options for White Terrazzo Worktop Prefabricated Slabs:

• 15mm, 20mm, and 30mm
• The finished surface requires a minimum reserved thickness of 80mm, ensuring stability and proper alignment with stone dry-hanging techniques.

2. Understanding On-Site Poured White Terrazzo Worktops

On-site pouring of white terrazzo worktops is another method, where terrazzo is mixed, poured, and polished directly in place. This method allows for a seamless, custom-fitted worktop, but it requires longer curing times and professional expertise.

3. Choosing Between Dry Hanging, Wet Sticking, On-Site Pouring, and Prefabricated Slabs

When selecting the right terrazzo installation method, consider:
✅ For walls → Prefabricated slabs with dry hanging or wet sticking
✅ For seamless worktops → On-site pouring
✅ For pre-made, factory-polished slabs → Prefabricated worktops

Each method offers a unique approach to integrating white terrazzo worktops into your design, depending on aesthetic preferences, durability requirements, and installation constraints.
