A monolithic terrazzo system designed for permanence, clarity, and long-term refinement.
AE Terrazzo is a fully mineral composite terrazzo system that redefines the role of terrazzo in modern architecture. Rather than relying on resin-based binders, the system forms a continuous, inorganic surface that integrates with the building itself—capable of being refined, restored, and extended over
time.
Unlike traditional polymer micro cements, AE Terrazzo forms a dense mineral matrix that integrates with the substrate, providing superior durability and long‑term stability while maintaining a breathable surface.
The result is a surface that feels permanent, not applied.
Material expression, without limitations.
AE Terrazzo is built for design freedom. It allows terrazzo to move from a decorative finish to a primary architectural material—capable of carrying both restraint and richness depending on the project.
Because the binder and aggregates form a unified matrix, the surface reads as a single material—not a coating holding particles in place.
Fine to large aggregate blends.
Glass, stone, shell, and recycled materials.
Tonal, minimal palettes or highly expressive compositions.
Seamless transitions across large surfaces.
Custom visual depth through grind, polish, and aggregate selection.
COMMITMENT TO NON-TOXIC MATERIALS AND SPACES
Environmental & Human Health
AE Terrazzo is designed with the full lifecycle of the material in mind. It avoids petroleum-based resin
binders, reduces emissions during installation, and is intended to remain in service for decades rather
than entering an early replacement cycle.
Just as importantly, the system supports circular construction strategies that align with long-term
building stewardship. This shifts terrazzo from a consumable finish to a long-term material system.
Zero Petroleum or Cement Binders
01
AE Terrazzo uses a mineral-based binder system instead of petroleum-derived resins or cement based binders, reinforcing its permanent and materially honest design approach.
02
Zero Emission Installation
AE Terrazzo supports a lower-emission installation approach by minimizing unnecessary material layers and avoiding full replacement in many applications
03
Zero Replacements
AE Terrazzo is designed to remain in service for decades with minimal replacement and a re-polishable surface, supporting long-term performance.
04
NO Toxic Indoor Environments
AE Terrazzo supports healthier indoor spaces by avoiding the VOCs, off-gassing, and air quality concerns often associated with more synthetic flooring systems.
05
NO Microplastics or Polymers
AE Terrazzo contains no polymer-heavy wear layer, so it does not shed microplastics or plastic-derived particles into the environment over time.
06
NO Chemical Exposure
AE Terrazzo is installed with a low-chemical approach that helps reduce installer and occupant exposure compared to more chemically intensive flooring systems.
A Clear Alternative
SPECIFYING MINERALS OVER PLASTIC
Traditional epoxy terrazzo systems rely on plastic-based binders derived from BPA chemistries. While common, these systems introduce synthetic polymers into spaces where permanence, health, and longevity are expected.
AE Terrazzo offers a fundamentally different approach: specifying minerals over plastic. By eliminating resin binders entirely, the system aligns material selection with architectural intent—clarity, permanence, and long-term integrity.
Performance Advantages
Despite its thin profile, AE Micro delivers reliable performance for light to moderate traffic environments where continuity and design intent are prioritized.
High compressive strength and durability
AE Terrazzo delivers high compressive strength and long-term durability, allowing it to perform reliably under demanding service condition.
Excellent abrasion resistance for high traffic
AE Terrazzo offers strong abrasion resistance that helps it maintain its integrity and appearance in high-traffic environments.
Resistance to chemicals, salts, and environmental exposure
AE Terrazzo is built to withstand exposure to chemicals, salts, and harsh environmental conditions with minimal degradation.
UV stability and thermal resilience
AE Terrazzo maintains its performance and visual stability under UV exposure and fluctuating temperatures.
Vapor permeability to help prevent trapped moisture
AE Terrazzo remains vapor permeable, helping moisture escape rather than becoming trapped beneath the surface.
AE Terrazzo is a monolithic terrazzo system designed for permanence, clarity, and long-term refinement, combining mineral-based composition with lasting durability and a healthier material profile. It offers high strength, abrasion resistance, chemical and UV stability, vapor permeability, and the ability to be renewed over time through re-polishing rather than replacement.
An Evolving Surface
FLOORING FOR ALL FUTURES
AE Terrazzo is not designed to be removed—it is designed to adapt. Surfaces can be re-polished, repaired, extended, and integrated into future renovations.
This transforms terrazzo into a permanent architectural surface aligned with the lifespan of the building.
- Ground and polished to the desired level of clarity
- Tuned for reflectivity, slip resistance, and texture
- Capable of being re-polished as the building evolves
This allows the surface to maintain its performance and visual quality for decades—without replacement cycles.
