• Have you seen imitation terrazzo in real life? It's like a low resolution / low contrast version of the real thing. If it's for the wall then you can have thinner tiles and it's basically the same price

  • Yeah this basically. It’s fine if you’re using it with a subtle pattern for a bit of depth but you can really tell the difference with the big pattern stuff.
    Terrazzo is also quite fragile.
    I kinda have the worst of both worlds, I got some subtle real terrazzo for my upstairs bathroom and I’m not sure I could tell the difference between the subtle fake stuff downstairs except it cost a lot more and was quite stressful getting.
    Whatever you do, get all the samples.

  • I've got a few samples of terrazzo effect and it's looked fine tbh. That said, the samples of the larger fleck stuff isn't as useful because the flecks are distributed over a wider space so a small sample size doesn't give as good as sense of what it is really like
