Terrazzino Epoxy Systems offer an innovative solution that mimics the elegance of terrazzo and quartz flooring, all within a user-friendly self-leveling system. Ideal for both residential and commercial applications, Terrazzino is available in a convenient 1.5 Gallon kit, complete with Terrazzino Aggregate, in 8 distinct colors. This system is designed for ease of installation with a 1/2" V-notch squeegee or 1/8" PIN Rakes for precision application. Once applied, a loop roller ensures a perfectly smooth finish, covering approximately 60 sqft per kit. To avoid running short, it's advisable to order a bit extra for complete coverage.

The Terrazzino system is comprehensive, incorporating essential basecoats, moisture vapor barriers, and pinhole reducing primers to guarantee a flawless result. For best practices, a double layer of priming is recommended, with manual filling of pinholes before applying the Terrazzino coat. For those seeking a high-gloss finish, options such as Terrazzino satin finish urethane or multiple coats of Diamond Finish provide a durable, polished surface. This makes Terrazzino an excellent choice for high-traffic areas like schools, museums, and hospitals, where regular maintenance is key. Applying 4-7 layers of Diamond Finish adds an extra layer of protection for these environments.

Important Installation Guidelines:

1. Priming: Begin with a primer or vapor barrier to ensure proper adhesion. Follow up with a second primer or base coat using the recommended notched squeegees for optimal performance. Be vigilant about pinholes, as they can vary from floor to floor. Gorilla Crack Paste can be used to fill any remaining pinholes for a perfect finish.

2. Surface Preparation: A flat, clean surface is crucial. Grind the concrete floor meticulously, removing all dust and debris to ensure a smooth installation.

3. Crack and Hole Filling: Any cracks or holes must be ground open, filled with a high-quality filler like Gorilla Paste, and ground flush with the floor. The goal is to achieve a surface that is smooth to the touch, following the "Filled, Flush, and Flat" motto.

4. Base Coat: After priming and addressing any pinholes, apply the base coat using a 100% solids epoxy that complements your chosen Terrazzino color. Coverage should be around 80-100 sqft per gallon using the appropriate notched squeegee.

5. Terrazzino Coat Application: Sand the surface with 60-80 grit sandpaper, vacuum thoroughly, and fill any remaining pinholes. Apply the Terrazzino coat with a 1/2" notched squeegee, using a loop roller to finish. Ensure even application and proper curing, which typically takes 6-8 hours. Plan for 50-60 sqft coverage per gallon, and always order 10% extra to avoid shortages.

6. Top Coats: A variety of top coats are available, with the High Solids Urethane with Aluminum Oxide offering superior scratch resistance. For polyurethanes, sand the Terrazzino surface with 100-200 grit paper before applying. Terrazzino Cera is also available for environments requiring a high-gloss, easily maintained surface. This polymer coating can be applied and buffed to a shine, making it perfect for institutions that perform regular floor maintenance.
