The NTMA, a 148-member, full-service nonprofit trade association headquartered in Fredericksburg, Texas, celebrated its centennial in 2023. The NTMA establishes national standards for all terrazzo systems and applications. Its mission is to promote quality terrazzo craftsmanship and creativity while supporting its members in their trade and service to the construction industry.

The NTMA's full range of free services extends to architects, interior designers, artists, general contractors, maintenance professionals, and property owners. From helping the design team write specifications to providing technical assistance at any project stage, the NTMA's goal is to help ensure quality terrazzo installations.

Terrazzo originated in 15th-century Italy, a direct descendant of the mosaic artistry of ancient Rome. One of the world's original sustainable building systems, terrazzo evolved through the resourcefulness of Venetian marble workers as they discovered a creative way to reuse discarded stone chips. Terrazzo artisans still pour terrazzo by hand on the construction site, with options for precast and waterjet-cut elements. Stone, recycled glass, or other aggregates, often sourced locally, are embedded in a cement or epoxy base and polished to reveal the chips. Terrazzo combines design flexibility with ease of maintenance and durability to last the life of the building.
