Innovative Aesthetics: Novamix’s PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO Micro-pebble Covering Systems
1. Creating Artistry with PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO System
1.1 Comprehensive Decorative Solutions
Novamix introduces the PLANOCOLOR® TERRAZZO system, an innovative solution for crafting pebble and micro-pebble surfaces. This well-designed decorative covering system encompasses substrate preparation, terrazzo mix, and protection & maintenance elements. The system provides a versatile and aesthetically pleasing answer to the demands of landscape designers and construction projects seeking both strength and visual appeal.
1.2 Crafting Micro-pebble Surfaces with Precision
Upon proper substrate preparation, the micro-pebble mix is meticulously applied. PLANOCOLOR® GRANULATES, featuring a range of materials such as marble, quartz, silica, and colored granulates, are blended with hydraulic binders like NOVACEM CREATIVE or NOVACEM CREATIVE FLOOR. This meticulous combination results in high-strength micro-pebble coverings boasting a ‘barefoot friendly’ anti-slip texture. This proves to be an ideal solution for diverse outdoor applications.
1.3 Diverse Applications of Micro-pebble Coverings
Micro-pebble coverings find suitability in various applications, including landscape designs contributing to heat reduction in outdoor areas, swimming pools, bespoke constructions like staircases and furniture, and even in luminous ‘glowing in the dark’ coverings for outdoor pathways. The versatility extends to their ability to absorb solar energy during the day, providing ambient lighting during the night.
