Question:

Is terrazzo polished ceramic or its glazed?

I‘m having a hard time understanding tiles. is terrazzo one of polished ceramic or it‘s glazed? also, what‘s the difference between glazed and polished?I‘ve been looking answers from the internet, but each site i visit showed different ceramic tile classification. are ceramic tiles differ into many categories?

Answer:

Terrazzo isn t a ceramic at all Its basically a small stone that is glued down in epoxy. Then ground down and polished. Some can come in squares as a tile and you can have whole floors done for a solid , no grout lookThis is a basic explanation Tile that is glazed has a coating or glaze put on it during the manufacture of it. It actually gives the tile most of its strength. Polishing is just that. The product, and its most often a stone, is ground ,buffed and polished to give it its shine.
