Lithocrete® is similar to a warehouse trap-rock slab construction made for high surface traffic. Lithocrete® exposes the surface materials and utilizes other procedures that allow Lithocrete® to maintain its structural integrity much longer than other architectural finishes. Esthetically, Lithocrete's® granite and marble products have unique fine granite or marble surfaces, and unlike slab-set granite, do not have to be flame finished or sand blasted to retain a non-slip surface. By using crushed materials, Lithocrete® retains its natural beauty and ability to reflect small amounts of light.

Lithocrete® paving is superior to veneer-type paving finishes such as granite, slate, tile, brick, and terrazzo because Lithocrete® consists of a single, structural monolithic pour. Delamination of the paving surface does not occur with Lithocrete®. Lithocrete® is structural concrete and is not merely a topping. Common problems of exterior toppings results from irrigation and/or ground water, which typically seeks horizontal joints between topping and structural slabs and in a short time can cause delamination. This will not happen with Lithocrete®.
