Abstract:
1. A terrazzo tile made according to a method, the method comprising: mixing resin, filler, catalyst and selected color pigment in an amount sufficient to form a curable composition; pouring said curable composition into at least one mold in an amount sufficient to fill the mold while allowing space to add stone chips in an amount such that the mold does not overflow when stone chips are added; pouring stone chips into said at least one mold in a manner to have a greater amount of stone chips settle toward the bottom of the mold in the composition than toward the top, thereby forming a composition and stone chip mixture therein; curing the composition and stone chip mixture to form at least one rough tile; and grinding and polishing the at least one rough tile to result in a polished tile in which the upper surface of the tile is the side toward which the greater amount of stone chips settled.
