Terrazzo Chips and Terrazzo Aggregate

Terrazzo chips are the visible aggregate in terrazzo flooring, precast panels and exposed aggregate concrete. The right chip size, colour and hardness decide whether the finished surface polishes cleanly and holds its pattern.

Why size band matters in terrazzo

Terrazzo formulas specify aggregate by exact millimetre bands. A wide 2–20 mm mix will not polish evenly because large and small pieces behave differently under grinding. We screen to the narrow bands your matrix requires.

Colour families for terrazzo

White marble chips are the classic terrazzo aggregate. Black, grey, honey and pink stones add pattern. Quartz and coloured marble extend the palette. We can supply single colours or controlled blends.

Dust and fines control

Dust in terrazzo chips changes the matrix colour and can cause pinholes after polishing. We wash and dry the chips before packing and can confirm fines content against your specification.

Hardness and polishing behaviour

Marble and limestone polish to a soft sheen and are easy on grinding equipment. Quartz is harder and takes a higher polish but wears tooling faster. Tell us your polishing process and we will recommend the right stone.

Packaging for factory use

Terrazzo factories usually prefer 25–50 kg poly bags on pallets so the chips can be added by weight without re-handling. We can also supply one-tonne bulk bags for high-volume plants.

Sample approval for architectural projects

For named architectural jobs we supply a sealed reference sample and batch photographs before every shipment. This is essential where the chip colour is part of the design sign-off.

Container payload and freight

A 20ft container of fine terrazzo chips can carry 25–27 tonnes because the material packs densely. We load on weight limits and can split a container across several colours for a factory's annual programme.

Matching chips to cement or resin matrices

White marble chips against a white cement matrix give the classic terrazzo look. Coloured chips against a grey or tinted matrix create contrast. We can advise on which stone colours work with common matrix shades.

Wholesale, bulk and export details

This product is supplied on the same commercial basis as the rest of our range: quantity confirmed against container payload, packing quoted separately and documentation prepared to your broker's brief.

Questions buyers ask about terrazzo chips

What size chips are used in terrazzo flooring?
Common sizes are 2–5 mm, 3–8 mm and 5–12 mm. Larger 8–20 mm chips are used for feature panels and exposed aggregate.
Can you supply custom colour blends?
Yes — we can blend white, black, grey, honey, pink and other marble chips to a specified ratio.
Are your terrazzo chips washed?
Yes. Washing removes dust and fines that would affect the matrix and final polish.
What is the best chip for a high-polish finish?
White marble and quartz take the highest polish. Quartz is harder and more durable but more abrasive on tooling.
Can I get samples before a project?
Yes — we supply sealed reference samples and batch photographs for architectural and factory approvals.
What packaging do you offer?
25–50 kg bags on pallets, jumbo bags or bulk supply, depending on your handling equipment.
Do chips need to be dry for terrazzo?
Moisture content should be controlled for cement and resin matrices. We can pack dry chips and confirm moisture on request.
What is the minimum order for terrazzo chips?
One 20 ft container, which can be split across several colours and size bands.
