TERRAZZO TREND FOR MASTIC ASPHALT FLOORING AND PAVING

Mastic asphalt is ideal for construction projects where a seamless , waterproof , durable surface is required . Commonly associated with roofing , tanking , flooring , paving and screeding projects due to its ability to offer total waterproof protection , the Mastic Asphalt Council ( MAC ) has recently seen a trend emerging of the use of mastic asphalt flooring incorporating terrazzo .
The long and rich history of terrazzo , with archaeologists discovering terrazzo as far back as 8000 years ago , is testament to its status as a construction material that stands the test of time . Modern interpretations of terrazzo have been created by combining decorative stone chippings with mastic asphalt , which is then polished to create infinite possibilities in any design situation .
Some perceive mastic asphalt terrazzo as having a distinctly ‘ retro ’ look and no two installations are ever the same , as the aggregate is exposed as part of the finishing process . Other finishes can also be created - such as matt or smooth - as opposed to the highly polished effect normally associated with terrazzo . Different visual effects can be created depending on the size and type of aggregate added at the mixing point to create a bespoke finish .
Mastic asphalt terrazzo offers the durability and distinctive features of terrazzo and consists of a traditional mastic asphalt base with a modern finish . Slip and skid resistance can also be incorporated into the wearing course of the mastic asphalt . In addition , mastic asphalt terrazzo is suited for both internal and external applications .
