Architectural Terrazzite the terrazzo flooring alternative from Nuplex Construction Products

Nuplex Architectural Terrazzite flooring is a practical solution for shopping centre mall floors. Terrazzite can be applied over new or old concrete, existing terrazzo or sound tile surfaces. As Architectural Terrazzite is only 8mm thick it does not impede greatly on the height differences that may exist at tenancy lines.

Nuplex Architectural Terrazzite is a polished synthetic terrazzo type flooring system made up of marble aggregates and synthetic resin. The floor system is applied on sight by Nuplex approved applicators.

Unlike terrazzo and tiles, Terrazzite is a seamless flooring system with no grout lines to accumulate dirt and detract from the appearance of the floor. This terrazzo alterative creates an upmarket feel to any flooring situation. Flooring designs can be freeform with colours, logos and special "feature inserts" such as brass, glass and shells that can harmoniously be incorporated into the flooring to create themed shopping centre floors.

A recent refurbishment undertaken with Architectural Terrazzite flooring using a totally freeform design was completed at The Oasis Shopping Centre on the Gold Coast. The project required the laying of a freeform Terrazzite floor over existing tile flooring, using a five colour freeform design that was replicated on three levels.

This floor which was done at night had some night trading with a major food tenancy, several bars and restaurants open for business, which meant night traffic had to be accommodated in some areas during the application.

All work on the Oasis Shopping Centre (approx 4,000m² of flooring) was carried out by Nationwide Flooring; specialists in Terrazzite (terrazzo) flooring systems.
