Palladiana terrazzo is one of the most distinctive and luxurious flooring finishes available. Combining large-format marble and natural stone pieces with seamless terrazzo joints, Palladiana creates a bold architectural surface that celebrates the beauty of natural materials while delivering the durability and performance of terrazzo.
At InStyle Stone, we specialise in the design, fabrication and installation of custom Palladiana terrazzo flooring for residential, hospitality, retail and commercial projects throughout Melbourne and Australia.
Palladiana terrazzo is a decorative flooring system that incorporates larger pieces of marble or natural stone rather than the smaller aggregates typically found in traditional terrazzo. The spaces between the stone pieces are filled with a custom terrazzo mix, creating a seamless floor that can be honed or polished to the desired finish.
Every Palladiana floor is unique. Stone selection, piece size, joint spacing, colour combinations and terrazzo mixes can all be customised to suit the architectural vision of each project.
Creating a custom Palladiana floor requires specialised knowledge, craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The process begins with the careful selection of marble, limestone, travertine or other natural stone materials. Each stone is chosen for its colour, veining, texture and suitability for the overall design.
The selected stone is cut, shaped and prepared to achieve the desired layout. Pieces may be geometric, free-form or custom fabricated to suit specific design requirements.
The arrangement of the stone pieces can be highly structured or intentionally organic. The scale of the pieces and the spacing between them play a significant role in the final appearance of the floor.
Following thorough substrate preparation, each stone piece is individually placed and installed. Precision setting and alignment ensure consistency across the entire floor area.
A custom terrazzo mix is installed between the stone pieces. This mix may contain fine aggregates, decorative marble chips or custom colours to complement the selected stone.
Once the terrazzo has cured, the floor undergoes multiple stages of grinding and honing. This process exposes the aggregate, refines the surface and creates a seamless transition between the stone and terrazzo.
The completed floor is sealed using premium protective sealers to enhance durability, improve stain resistance and maintain the appearance of the finished surface.
One of the greatest advantages of Palladiana terrazzo is its versatility.
