What is DURAZZO?
Durazzo is a premium resin-based, liquid-poured terrazzo flooring system that combines the timeless beauty of terrazzo with modern resin technology. Installed at approximately 6mm thickness, it creates a seamless, lightweight and highly durable surface suitable for retail, hospitality, commercial, public and high-end residential spaces.
More than just a flooring finish, Durazzo is a design material that allows architects and designers to create spaces with character, texture and individuality. Using carefully selected marble aggregates and custom resin colours, each floor can be tailored to suit a unique design vision — from subtle, refined palettes to bold architectural statements.
Fast installation and minimal disruption make Durazzo ideal for both new builds and refurbishment projects, while its low-maintenance and hard-wearing properties ensure long-term performance in high-traffic environments.
At Durable Floors, we see Durazzo as a collaborative design tool — giving architects and designers the freedom to create truly distinctive spaces while delivering a premium, seamless and long-lasting flooring solution
Benefits of DURAZZO
DURAZZO has many benefits aside from its good looks, here are some of the key advantages to keep in mind.
- Time and Money Saving: DURAZZO can be applied over existing floors, allowing architects and designers to modernise old terrazzo or ceramic tile floors without the need to remove them. This not only saves time and money but also provides a seamless, low-maintenance, and long-lasting flooring option.
- Customisation: You can choose the base colour from an Australian standard colour chart and select stone colours from Barossa Quarries to suit your project’s specific needs. You have endless possibilities when it comes to colour, chip appearance, and overall design. You can create colourful patterns, borders, metal dividers, or any other preferred effects. Additionally, Terrazzite comes in different application types to meet various project requirements.
Types of DURAZZO
Different projects have different needs, so it’s essential that you choose the correct solution.
DURAZZO (Polyester Based) – This system involves a blend of coloured polyester resin, coloured marble aggregate, and filler. It can be troweled over existing concrete, tiles, or terrazzo surfaces and stands out for its fast curing time (only 1.5 hours for drying), which means minimal business downtime. It offers a wide range of design features, colours, and long-term durability, making it an excellent choice for modern decorative floors in high-traffic areas.
Polyurethane Terrazzo (Cement Based) – This system utilises a cement matrix and has a relatively short curing time of about 3 hours. It’s odour-free and is typically thicker and heavier than epoxy systems. It offers a broad range of colour options, creating beautiful surfaces, and some varieties can even be used outdoors.
Epoxy Terrazzo – Epoxy terrazzo has a longer curing time of approximately 12 hours but offers excellent chemical resistance and is highly durable. Epoxy terrazzo is perfect for multi-colored patterns and designs and is highly durable. It’s lighter than other terrazzite systems and boasts the lowest maintenance cost due to its non-absorbent nature. This system can be installed with minimal dividers, providing seamless characteristics for sanitary areas or aesthetic purposes.
