SYSTEM 7 - LITHOCRETE LITHO MOSAICS™
Lithocrete Litho Mosaics™ provides fascinating results when you join Lithocrete® with
mosaic artwork. This patent-pending process allows artists to pre-assemble their mosaic
artwork. Special paper is glued to the top side of the mosaic using water soluble glue.
Concrete is placed and floated, and then the mosaic patterns are placed on the concrete
surface. The patterns are then floated level with the surrounding Lithocrete®. The patterns
can be any artistic abstract expression. Other Lithocrete® systems can be employed in
the surrounding concrete. Lithocrete Etch Retarder® is sprayed on the entire surface, then
pressure-washed off along with the surrounding Lithocrete®. The results are beautiful
mosaics with the strength of a structural concrete matrix.

Center strives to build new creative areas both inside
and out for children to learn and play. This mission is the
reason, during the center’s 2007 remodel, that Lithocrete
Litho Mosaics™ was specified rather than typical
concrete for the side-yard playground. The Lithocrete
Litho Mosaics™ project at the center features a handlaid, tile hop-scotch surrounded by inspirational words
such as Explore, Discover, Learn, Wonder, and Play for
the children to read, learn and play... A perfect place for
