Honed
Ground smooth to a soft sheen between honed and polished — we treat the two as one finish. The classic terrazzo surface, indoors and out.
Terrazzo — the crown jewel
Terrazzo made in Qatar, for Qatar.
Every terrazzo tile we sell is manufactured by our group’s own factory — pressing and finishing terrazzo flooring in Qatar since 1979, engineered for this climate rather than imported into it. Most formats are pressed in Qatar; the 50×50 cm tile is produced by our own factory abroad to the same specification.
Why ours is different
From our factory floor to yours.
Terrazzo rewards control: the chips, the cement body, the curing and the finishing decide how a floor looks after twenty summers. Because the factory is ours, we control every step — and stand behind every square metre.
Choose from plain colours, chip designs and bordered & patterned designs, in standard formats with skirtings and custom sizes cut from parent tiles — including corner cuts for clean staircases and borders.
Finishes
Three finishes, three characters.
The same tile changes completely with its surface. See all three side by side in the showroom — or slide to compare here.

Good to know
Terrazzo — common questions
- Where is Al-Asema’s terrazzo made?
- Manufactured by the Al-Asema group of companies’ own factory in Qatar, which has pressed terrazzo here since 1979 — the oldest terrazzo manufacturer in the country. Most formats are pressed in Qatar; the 50×50 cm tile is produced by our own factory abroad to the same specification.
- What terrazzo finishes do you offer?
- Three finishes — Honed, Antico and Shotblast — which you can compare side by side in our Salwa Road showroom. Looking for polished terrazzo? Our Honed finish is it: it sits between honed and polished, and we treat the two as one finish.
- Can you make custom terrazzo colours and designs?
- Custom designs, yes; custom colours, no. Choose from more than 10 standard colours — we don’t match colours to customer samples. Bordered and fully custom designs are made to order, with a minimum quantity agreed per project rather than fixed in advance, and a sample of a custom design takes 1–2 weeks.
- What sizes and formats are available?
- Standard formats including 40×40 cm and 50×50 cm, plus matching skirtings and custom cuts from parent tiles — including corner cuts for clean staircases and borders.
- Where can terrazzo be used?
- Our terrazzo is engineered for Qatar’s climate, and most of it goes outdoors — driveways, yards, pool surrounds and other external areas. It suits indoor floors too.
- Does terrazzo need sealing, and how do I care for it?
- Sealing is highly recommended — untreated, terrazzo naturally absorbs water — and we recommend a water-based sealer. How often to re-seal depends on the use and foot traffic. Clean with neutral cleaners only and avoid using excessive water; acid- or alkaline-based cleaners can damage the tiles.
- How is terrazzo priced?
- Priced per square metre and quoted to your project — the price depends on the design, finish and quantity. Request a quotation online or visit our showroom for samples.
- Do you keep terrazzo in stock, and how long does it take?
- Terrazzo is made to order: allow 2–3 weeks, which includes enough curing time for you to receive up-to-standard tiles, so it’s best to order ahead. A sample of a custom design takes 1–2 weeks. We provide site measurement, delivery across Qatar and installation by our own crews.
