Can terrazzo flake off, fall apart, or break?
All edges are bevelled (i.e., provided with a chamfer). Therefore, terrazzo can safely be used for staircases, just like any commercial natural-stone materials. And as in every natural stone, terrazzo edges can flake off if hit by a hard object, unless they have been expertly bevelled. However, if a piece of terrazzo should crack off, the damage can easily be repaired with natural-stone cement in a colour, made by material raum form, that perfectly matches the colour of the terrazzo.
