Grey terrazzo tiles
Grey terrazzo tiles are timeless, durable and beautifully stylish bringing a gorgeous mix of understated elegance coupled with an industrial vibe. The word Terrazzo takes its name from the Italian word for terrace and is a style that has been around for centuries. Traditionally using cement as a base, terrazzo tiles included broken chips of many different materials including granite, marble or quartz embedded in the cement base. It’s these broken pieces that bring a jewelled effect to terrazzo as they are bound in the cement and then given a smooth surface polish bringing this material alive with colour.
Porcelain tiles are specifically designed to mimic other materials – think marble, metals, concretes, cements, stones and more. And terrazzo is no exception. Porcelain grey terrazzo tiles deliver all the beauty of terrazzo combined with all the brilliant benefits of porcelain making them the perfect blend of beauty and durability. With such a rich variety of chip colours in grey terrazzo tiles you can see why these tiles are a top pick for interiors – with everything from sands, blues, greens, charcoals, tan, creams, pinks and more set against a cement effect background – they can work seamlessly with a wide variety of interior colours.

Why choose grey terrazzo tiles in porcelain?
So why would you choose porcelain grey terrazzo tiles for your home? These are tiles are that can be used to create everything from a vintage vibe to a contemporary interior and that makes them a timeless option.
A timeless choice
We just love the timeless look and feel of grey terrazzo tiles. As well visual interest, porcelain terrazzo tiles can bring texture too and that makes them a top pick for interiors. What’s more these tiles pair up brilliantly with so many other tile options from woods to cements, concretes to metallics and more.
Vintage look and feel
Terrazzo tiles add interest to designs without overwhelming a space and in smaller formats in particular can add a chic, vintage vibe. Take our Fleck grey terrazzo tiles, these gorgeous porcelain tiles beautifully re-interpret the small chip terrazzo making them perfect for so many spaces cross the home, and especially for projects that want to reflect a more industrial or vintage vibe. The smaller format of 45 x 45cm is charming and its non-rectified tile edges add to bring a rustic charm to rooms. The grey “cement” background colour in these tiles is more of a warm grey-brown making these tiles perfect for those seeking a warmer tone for today’s interiors.
The surface finish of these tiles has a little texture too whilst also playing with light beautifully across the tile surface bringing a rich, toasty feel.
Modern minimalism
As well as a vintage look and feel, terrazzo tiles in porcelain in larger formats are perfect for creating minimalist interiors. Again, opting for warmer toned backgrounds for these tiles mean they can feel so inviting with chip colours adding gorgeous tonal variation. Larger tiles that have rectified tile edges mean grout lines are a super slim 3mm and that helps create a seamless look and feel to floors and adds to a feeling of spaciousness.
Define, another of our terrazzo effect porcelain tile collections is a modern take on the terrazzo tile and a perfect blend of crushed assorted pebbles across a cement background. With rectified tile edges and in larger 900 x 900mm and 1200 x 600mm formats, Define is designed to bring a seamlessness to spaces especially when co-ordinated grout colours are chosen. Define includes 4 shades with a lighter white and off-white for those seeking a terrazzo style tile that is light and airy.
Larger chip terrazzo
Grey terrazzo tiles in porcelain are also available in designs with larger chips. Take our Fusion Terrazzo collection. These gorgeous tiles fuse beautiful Italian styling with a wonderfully rich interpretation of terrazzo showcasing larger stone chips. In warm greys they encase blue-greys, creams, browns, mushrooms, tans and a whole host of other gorgeous tones.
Durability and low maintenance
Terrazzo is known for its resilience and so is porcelain. Porcelain can easily take the high foot traffic of busy hallways and kitchens, making it a brilliant material for homes and ground floors. Add to that the fact that porcelain doesn’t require any sealing or ongoing maintenance and you can see why this material is a top pick for all areas of the home including bathrooms, kitchens, lounge, hallways, offices, and more. This is a material that is perfect for walls and floors across the home.
To sum up
Porcelain grey terrazzo tiles combine the best of both worlds: they can be used in areas where you want a vintage vibe appeal, especially those tiles that are smaller in format with non-rectified tile edges. Or look for larger formats with rectified tile edges for spaces where you want to strike a contemporary tone. Whether you are renovating, refurbishing, building anew or extending, porcelain grey terrazzo tiles might be just the flooring you are looking for.
