Marble
Marble is a limestone rock that has been used for centuries. Its color is variable: cream, pink, red, black, pearl gray, green, and others. Marble surfaces are characterized by being elegant, beautiful and resistant. This material is widely used in: floors, walls, stairs and countertops. Among the advantages of this type of flooring, which can last for many years, are that they are very easy to clean and can be used both outdoors and indoors. The main disadvantage is their high initial and maintenance cost, and exposure to oil or citrus can damage them.
Terrazzo
These are the floors most worked by our teams, very resistant to wear and able to support considerable weight. The presence of porosities is scarce. They are made of marble and cement. They are very resistant to stains and have a high impermeability capacity. Terrazzo floors can be seen in two forms, cast or slab, and can be of various shades: grey, white, cream, black, green, etc. They can also be seen in different sizes.
Mosaic
These are pieces made with cement, sand and pigments. The shapes can be infinite, in full colors, mottled, with images, etc. These tiles are handmade and compressed in hydraulic presses. They can be used both outdoors and indoors. These types of floors are very delicate when roughing them, so they must be worked by specialized operators.
Ceramic or porcelain tile
These floors are made with ceramic, are very beautiful and are composed of a great variety of models. This type of floor can have a porcelain base and a surface covered by different glazes. These types of floors are easy to maintain and cannot be polished, they can only be deep cleaned with special brushes.
Stucco
It is a floor covering characterized by its high resistance and adaptability. In addition, it can be painted to achieve better aesthetic results. It not only functions as a decorative element, but also provides protection and insulation. This material is durable and can be worked to a smooth, glossy finish. Stucco, as a topcoat or a veneer, can be leveled to achieve a smooth, thin coat.
Vinyl flooring
This is a synthetic flooring used in interiors, both in homes and offices. Its composition provides great resistance to abrasion, humidity and impacts, and it is easy to clean. It is easy to install and can even be laid on top of other floors. There is a wide variety of colors, styles and textures to suit every type of decoration. This material provides soundproofing and insulates rooms from noise.
This material can be laid on top of any type of flooring, whether vinyl, stucco, ceramic, porcelain, mosaic, terrazzo or marble. It must be removed in order to work on the floor it covers.
