Inopera Terrazzo
Inopera Terrazzo is a material which offers endless design possibilities whilst retaining its original quality for many years. It is suitable for a broad range of interior and exterior applications including flooring, interior and exterior wall cladding, furniture surfaces and a wide range of landscaping applications for commercial or domestic projects.
What is Inopera Terrazzo made of?
The standard ingredients are: a mixture of stone aggregates, mostly marble ( or it can also be granite, quartz, or glass chips), marble powder, and a binding agent. Cement is the traditional binding agent used for terrazzo. It can also be made using alternative binding agents, such as resin or epoxy.
Use of raw materials & natural resources
Sustainable by definition, terrazzo is produced mainly from the quarry waste of other natural stone processing. Inopera group has obtained certification under the international Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for the sustainability of their terrazzo materials. The durability and longevity of the material are encouraging factors in determining the Life Cycle Assessment process, which is the core of the EPD. So far thr kgCO2e/ton calculation for an embodied carbon for production stages A1 – A3 is roughly half of that of equivalent materials.
Emissions to Air
The majority of inopera products are certified as low emitters of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in line with Internal Air Quality (IAQ) standards for construction materials and furnishings.
Design & Manufacture
Bespoke design process and customisation of the material guarantee lasting results that match industry standards and customer expectations.
Cement Terrazzo
Cement agglomerate terrazzo is highly durable, can withstand any weather conditions, and can be manufactured to limit colour fading.
Terrazzo with a cement binder can hold stone chips up to 40 mm.
Resin Terrazzo
The tiles can be thinner, thus, lighter in weight than the terrazzo-cement.
It can hold stone chips of up to 80 mm in diameter.
