TERRAZZO - MICRO TERRAZZO
TERRAZZO: THE RETURN OF THE CLASSIC IN CONTEMPORARY DESIGN
Terrazzo flooring, known for its historic charm, has re-emerged as a star in the world of architectural design. With a unique blend of timeless aesthetics and exceptional durability, it is the ideal choice for high-specification projects. Both traditional Terrazzo and the refined Micro Terrazzo variations stand out for their seamless balance between classic and contemporary. Their understated elegance brings a distinctive sense of timelessness to any space, merging the allure of the past with today’s demands.
Terrazzo is created from colorful aggregate materials of varying granule sizes, bonded with a cast binder—either cementitious or resin-based. The process involves grinding and polishing, resulting in a stunningly smooth surface that bridges abstract artistry and geometric perfection.
The flooring thickness ranges from 8 to 20 mm, making it suitable for a variety of applications, from luxurious residences to large commercial projects.
Terrazzo seamlessly integrates into both interior and exterior spaces. For interiors, it is available in polished, matte, or smooth finishes, while for outdoor use or areas requiring enhanced slip resistance, it can be finished with a textured surface.
Epoxy vs. Cementitious Terrazzo
Terrazzo flooring, with its impressive aesthetics and unparalleled durability, offers high-quality solutions for modern architectural applications. The two main categories, Epoxy Terrazzo and Cementitious Terrazzo, cater to different needs, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Epoxy Terrazzo:
Using epoxy or methacrylate resin as a binder ensures ultra-high durability. Epoxy Terrazzo is perfect for high-traffic areas such as shopping malls, exhibition spaces, libraries, and schools. It is ideal for projects with tight schedules, as methacrylate resin enables faster curing. With features like wear resistance, impermeable surfaces, and low maintenance requirements, it is the best solution for large-scale projects.
Cementitious Terrazzo:
The binder here is a cement-based mortar, offering high mechanical and chemical resistance. Cementitious Terrazzo is suitable for residences, offices, and retail spaces, where the demands are less intense. The countless combinations of Micro Terrazzo create unique results, making it a favorite choice for projects requiring elegance and practicality.
