Terrazzo Flooring Systems | Polyurethane & Epoxy Terrazzo

Polyurethane Terrazzo flooring

Polyurethane terrazzo is designed for heavy-duty environments, particularly in the pharmaceutical sector, where flooring must resist aggressive solvents and rigorous cleaning processes. Key features include:

Anti-static properties

Achieved through the integration of carbon fibres and a copper tape matrix, meeting the stringent requirements of cleanroom flooring.

Smooth decorative finish

The resin matrix is laid, cured, and diamond-ground before grouting and polishing to create a seamless, robust surface.

Epoxy Terrazzo flooring

Epoxy terrazzo offers customisable design options, making it a popular choice for high-profile locations such as shopping malls, reception areas, and atriums. Features include:

Design versatility

A variety of resin and stone mixes, including glass, marble, mother of pearl, and mirror glass, enable the creation of unique, eye-catching designs.

Comprehensive finishes

The resin matrix is laid, cured, ground, grouted, polished, and sealed for a smooth, highly decorative finish. Matching finishes can also be created for stairs and skirting, with optional anti-slip stair treads for added safety.

Epoxy terrazzo has been successfully installed in shopping centres, hospitals, hotels, airports, and railway stations.
