Terrazzo Systems

A nominal 1/4″ or 3/8″ thick resin matrix veneer placed upon a level concrete slab; Also can be specified with glass, synthetic, or granite aggregates in lieu of marble to provide brilliant colors or chemical resistance; The best “thin-set” system.

Advantages:

Unlimited matrix colors, resiliency, chemical resistance and tensile-compressive strengths not found in cement-based systems. It has the lowest maintenance cost.

Thickness:  Nominal 1/4″ or 3/8″ Epoxy Terrazzo topping.

Weight:  3-4 lbs. PSF.

A nominal 3/8″ think polymer modified cement matrix veneer placed upon a provided level concrete slab. Polymer provides strength to allow for thinner applications of cementitious systems.

Advantages:

Fast installation and moderate price rang, also good to use in areas subject to moisture vapor transmission where Epoxy terrazzo or other non-breathing floors will not adhere.

Thickness:  Nominal 3/8″ polyacrylate with terrazzo topping. Chip sizes 0,1 and 2.

Weight:  4.5 lbs. PSF.

This 1/2″ thick cement matrix veneer placed upon a provided concrete slab is dependent on the concrete quality for flatness and crack prevention. On grade or below grade only.

Advantages:

Fast installation and the most economical price make it ideal where time and budget are critical but where the beauty, low maintenance and the performance of terrazzo is desired.

Thickness:  1/2″ Terrazzo topping

Weight:  5-7 lbs. PSF.

A cement matrix and underbed system for interior and exterior areas where conditions require 1.25″ to 1.75″ inches of recessed depth to be filled in addition to the .5″ terrazzo topping.

Advantages:

With sand-cement underbed it has less dependence on the concrete slab for flatness when compared to monolithic.

Thickness:  1.75″ to 2.25″ including .5″ terrazzo topping.

Weight:  18-22 lbs. PSF.

Terrazzo with a non-ground, textured surface, for exterior use. This system is availablewith Bonded and Monolithic Terrazzo.

Advantages:

Inifinitely variable textures, colors and patterns may be created in a weather-resistant, skid-resistant deck surface.

Thickness:  Bonded 1.75″ – 2″ including a .5″ terrazzo topping.   Monolithic .5″ terrazzo topping.

Weight:   Dependent on system selected.

Dividers:   Temporary wood strips are used, then replaced by a pourable sealant inserted into the joint.

A cement matrix topping underbed with wire reinforcing, isolation sheet, and sand layer system for exterior/interior floor use. This is the best cement system.

Advantages:

Due to the underbed’s depth, wire mesh reinforcing, isolation sheeting, and sand layer, it will absorb minor substrate defects and prevent mirroring to the surface.

Thickness:  2.5″ to 3″ including a .5″ terrazzo topping.

Weight:  25-30 lbs. PSF.
