SYSTEM 2 - SEDIMENTARY WALLS

Three US patents protect Lithocrete’s® System 2 sedimentary walls. Sedimentary walls display natural formations representing the stratified characteristics of the Earth’s geological layers. These distinctive structures have been used in many applications from water features to seat walls, and are adaptable to the spectrum of Lithocrete® projects ranging from retail and colleges to Class A, high-rise office towers. Sedimentary walls create special artistic interest in every venue in which they exist and often are commissioned pieces of artwork that gain valuable recognition in the public and corporate art arenas.

SYSTEM 3 - THIN TECH

Thin Tech is for interior floor finishes that use self-level topping cementatious materials. A US patent is pending for the addition of select aggregates to the surface of self-leveling topping materials used with Thin Tech. There are no limits to aggregate choices, as granite, glass and various minerals can be utilized. Once the topping mix has solidified, the surface can be ground using progressively sized diamond cups exposing the select aggregates. The system is unique in that it can be applied to areas that would be too thin for stone or terrazzo. This process is a delight for designers, architects and landscape architects who are engaged in retrofit projects and are looking for a flooring material that is esthetically enticing as well as economical.

SYSTEM 4 - PRESTO

Lithocrete® Presto Finish is the latest Lithocrete development in the use of variable-sized aggregates in a surface seeded application. Aggregates range in size from 1/8 to 1-1/2 inch. Specially designed concrete tools and techniques, such as vibrating Bull Floats, either mechanically or by hand, are required to embed the aggregate into the surface. Once floating of the surface is complete, power troweling can begin. This is the most important part, as the machine aligns all the aggregates so they will be flat. No other method is comparable to this process and the results are super-smooth walking surfaces never before possible when using small- to large-sized, crushed, surface-seeded aggregates.

SYSTEM 5 - PRESTO PNEUMATIC

Lithocrete® Presto Pneumatic allows for the perfect application of minerals such as silica carbide or spar to the surface of concrete. Hand broadcasting of minerals causes an uneven distribution, creating a splotchy looking surface. By utilizing a pneumatic-powered materials sprayer, even distribution of the material is possible. The resulting finish is very consistent and natural-looking.

SYSTEM 6 - LQS

Lithocrete® Quarried Stone (LQS) is the preferred system when the look of quarried stone is required by designers. The LQS process results in a very distinctive, artistic appearance with characteristic random patterns.

SYSTEM 7 - LITHOMOSAICS

LithoMosaics provides fascinating results when you join Lithocrete® with mosaic artwork. This patent-pending process allows artists to pre-assemble their mosaic artwork. Special paper is glued to the top side of the mosaic using water soluble glue. The results are a beautiful mosaic with the strength of a structural concrete matrix.
