Exploring PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO Covering Systems by Novamix

The PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO system by Novamix offers a meticulously designed decorative covering solution, encompassing various elements such as substrate preparation, terrazzo mix, and protection & maintenance. This comprehensive system ensures the creation of high-strength terrazzo coverings with versatility and durability.

Terrazzo Mix Application

Once the substrate is appropriately prepared, the terrazzo mix process begins. PLANOCOLOR® GRANULATES, including marble, quartz, silica, recycled glass, and lightweight colored granulates, are combined with hydraulic binders such as NOVACEM CREATIVE or NOVACEM CREATIVE FLOOR. This amalgamation results in robust terrazzo coverings with a minimum thickness of 10mm, although higher thicknesses are attainable based on the selected granulate size. For applications requiring smaller thickness (6-10mm), PLANOCOLOR® GRANULATES are mixed with NOVACEM MICRO-TERRAZZO, a two-component mortar, to create exquisite terrazzo floors.

Versatile Applications and Benefits

The versatility of terrazzo coverings extends across various indoor and outdoor applications, including airports, schools, hotels, hospitals, museums, shopping malls, offices, residential areas, and more. Additionally, these coverings can be tailored for bespoke constructions such as staircases, furniture, benches, sinks, flowerpots, precast tiles, or slabs. Moreover, luminous glowing terrazzo coverings offer enhanced safety features in areas like security stairwells and outdoor pathways, providing ambient lighting in darkness.

Key Advantages of PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO

The PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO covering system boasts several benefits, including high strength (up to 60 MPa), resilience against sun exposure, severe weather conditions, and fire (category A1). These coverings are suitable for creating polished terrazzo finishes, both indoors and outdoors, for new constructions or renovations. Furthermore, they support sustainable applications by improving indoor air quality, reducing the outdoor heat island effect, and being fully recyclable.
