Durazzo
is a process that makes any design with tolerance of 1/16"
possible. This process has eliminated the use of metal strips
in terrazzo, especially when it was not possible or economically
feasible for metal strips to be bent, curved and shaped to
produce very fine jewelry precision designs. That is not to
say that Durite's Durrazzo does not use metal strips such
as Zinc, Brass, and Polyester Strips. On the contrary, Metal
Strips enhances design and creates allowance for thermal expansion
joints. Many Architects/Owner request metal strips as part
of the outer edge design.
Durrazzo commissioned
Artworks provides infinite possibilities for pre-fabrication
needs. From Corporate Logo's used as "Inlays" in
terrazzo floors to elegant stores front entrance, to pedestrian
way finding signs in-bedded in terrazzo or concrete floors
at airport terminals and parking structures adds new dimension
to esthetic looks and functionality.
Durrazzo
is also being used as vanity tops/ Kitchen counters/Mini-Bars
for many major Hotels/Hi-rise buildings and Restaurants, enhancing
limited spaces and adding to Architectural elegance and esthetics.
Durrazzo Kitchen & Bar tabletops are widely used for out-door/
indoor usage with colors, mixed aggregates, and textures engineered
to match with the interior/exterior design.
Durrazzo
is also used to replicate Lime Stone/Slate/Granite, other
natural stones or man made materials such as Terra-cotta,
etc. The advantages are a more cost-effective with much lighter
(minimum 1/2" thick is 6-lbs/ sq-ft), Harder (Compressive
strength of +/-12,000-psi three to four time stronger than
concrete or marble) and density that unlike stone is none-porous
and none penetrable by water, creating a water-proof barrier.
Restoration of deteriorated building exterior/interior architectural
elements. Figurines replacement/ restoration of Art-Deco /Art-Nouveau
tiles, masonry, stone furniture, Stairs tread covers, Veneer
covering for front desks, podium, and fire-place mantels,
are now as simple as scanning images and chipping away unwanted
surface material.
