Floor Seal Technology began designing TechCrete Ready-Mix Terrazzo around 2012 to meet the needs of Architects who wanted a Designer Terrazzo look with out giving up important LEEDs points, and eliminating the use of the BPH resins.
TechCrete controlled expanding concrete creates a terrazzo look with 4-5-inch cast in place ready-mix concrete. Floor Seal has incorporated specialty back round colors with proprietary aggregates that resemble Terrazzo at approximately 1/3 the price of standard Terrazzo, and 1/3 the schedule of traditional epoxy terrazzo. Typically epoxy terrazzo takes a minimum of 2-3 weeks to complete 1,000 SF. TechCrete is placed on the day of the pour and ground approximately 5 days after finishing. One thousand SF of TekCrete grinding and sealing is completed in 3-4 days. The floor is protected by Floor Seal until the completion of the job.
If the slab at any time is damaged by construction or during the owner’s use, Floor Seal has developed MirrorCrete Match Patch to repair the concrete back to its original condition.
Every color of glass and aggregate is available to produce unique and exciting natural looking terrazzo. No Clear plastic looking epoxies. Just natural lifetime concrete that will enhance the floors for the life of the structure.
