After almost 50 years of production, Kengate
Terrazzo remains one of the few specialist terrazzo producers in the
UK. We are as committed as ever to the production of this high
quality specialist material by maintaining a traditional craft
established centuries ago.
We are proud to supply trade contractors, major clients, designers,
and architects on a number of prestigious projects, and our casting
facility located at Shepperton can produce samples of each product
as well as recreating existing finishes.
All buildings benefit from the use of Terrazzo, which possesses a
smooth, hard, non-dusting surface permanently attractive in
non-fading colours. Terrazzo surfaces with their wide range and
wealth of colours provided by the natural marble aggregate, make
possible the design of highly finished areas affording dignity and
beauty yet capable of withstanding heavy traffic with the minimum of
maintenance.
The products cover a wide range from basic utilitarian precast to
complicated forms bordering on artwork. It is the Architects choice
of material for floors in hospitals, schools, public buildings,
offices, supermarkets, stores and restaurants. There is no finer
material for areas requiring the most hygienic conditions and for
high-class floors, walls and staircases when appearance and wear are
of paramount importance. The initial cost is no more than other less
effective materials and its durability and ease of maintenance make
terrazzo the most economic floor finish available.
Kengate Terrazzo is available to discuss applications and
specifications for all types of projects.
