In 1997, we installed a logo in the form of a Mickey Mouse face in the Disney Store Modena, and five other stores in Italy. Each logo consisted of seven completley different aggregate mixes and resin colours. Brass outlines were fabricated off site and re-built like a jigsaw at each location. A total of 24 stores have been completed to date!
Floor Strips Installed
Brass is fastened to metal mesh to ensure correct outlining once the coloured resins are installed.
Epoxy Resin Laid
The first colour is installed in all locations and care is taken to eliminate pollution of adjacent areas.
Terrazzo Floor Installed
Colours are built up on a daily basis until all resin colours are installed.
Grinding of Floor Logo
Grinding removes the top two or three millimetres of the resin terrazzo.
Grouting with Coloured Resin
Grouting is carried out using coloured grout. Whilst it is tempting to use a clear grout across all colours, our experience has revealed that depth of colour suffers if individual colours are not used.
Terrazzo Polishing & Sealing
All 24 installations were sealed using a clear resin with a thin film section to reduce the likelehood of future scratching.
