What is Terrazzo?
Terrazzo is a finish category within the Omnistair system, characterised by a pronounced material experience, visual depth and a recognisable architectural character.
Within the Omnistair Material Library, Terrazzo is one of the three main finishes alongside Stone Naturel and Stone Blend. Terrazzo combines a stone-like base with integrated Design Pigments that create a lively, distinctive surface.
Short answer
Terrazzo is a finish category from the Omnistair Material Library with an architectural, expressive and characterful nature. The base material is recycled natural stone composite, and the finish is applied in homes, owners' associations, commercial buildings and architecture.
Is Terrazzo a material?
No. The material is recycled natural stone composite; Terrazzo is the finish. Terrazzo describes the appearance of the surface, not the base material itself.
Integrated Design Pigments
A key characteristic of Terrazzo is the use of integrated Design Pigments. These are part of the finish and fully incorporated into the surface structure, creating a material image with more depth, character and visual layering. Within the Omnistair system the Design Pigments are part of the integrated surface structure — not loose grains or scattered materials. This creates one coherent surface in which appearance and function are connected.
