TERRAZZO - MICRO TERRAZZO
The history of terrazzo can be traced back in the ancient times. It is a traditional craft, that has become once again a popular trend. It is a wonderful floor solution as it combines durability and aesthetics.
Terrazzo and Micro Terrazzo floors are all about offering a contemporary and stunning result. Elegance and modern design combined beautifully into a long-lasting flooring solution with timeless appeal.
Marble chips, colorful quartz, crushed aggregates and even pieces of glass in various sizes poured with a binding material (cementitious or resinous), grinded and polished to create a uniquely abstract and impressive floor surface.
Terrazzo floor thickness is approximately 8-20mm.
They are suitable both for indoor and outdoor spaces. Their final surface may be mat, satin or glossy. It can be smooth or harsh with various degrees anti-slip resistance which makes them ideal for bathroom or shower applications.
Terrazzo’s binding material make them suitable for heavy or light loading. Based on this, they are separated into two categories:
Epoxy Terrazzo
Their binding material is either epoxy resin or methacrylate resin. For particularly fast work schedules, methacrylate resins are preferred. Epoxy Terrazzo floors present extreme durability. They can be subjected to heavy foot traffic for a long period of time without any problems. They are ideal for public gathering areas like malls, exhibition centers, libraries and schools.
Cementitious Terrazzo
Their binding materials is cementitious mortar. Cementitious Terrazzo has great loading capabilities and present a good resistance to chemical factors. They are the optimum solution for areas with lower footfall like residential spaces, retail stores and offices. Their application can be combined with micro terrazzo materials.
This is what makes Terrazzo a brilliant flooring solution:
