Sassoitalia - Features and benefits.

What is Sassoitalia?
Ideal Work has combined historic Italian terrazzo and modern polymer technologies to produce SassoItalia: a unique system for even and consistently exposed aggregate paving. At a thickness of 2cm – 4cm you can use SassoItalia on freshly placed or old concrete, making SassoItalia the perfect product for new build construction or renovation projects. Exotic marble aggregates are availlable through Ideal Work or  local aggregates can be use for a more natural result.  It is also possible to create geometric shapes and specific colours and combinations, giving free rein to your creativity.

Why choose SassoItalia?
Due to the nature of SassoItalia it has many benefits over other exposed aggregate systems.
• Exotic aggregates can be used with little extra cost.
• Light, bright colours including white can be used.
• Thin section application for areas with fine level tolerances.
• Even and consistent aggregate and matrix exposure.
• Easy to mix and apply.
• Interior or exterior application.
• Can be polished.
• High flexural and compressive strengths.

In the public eye.
Sassoitalia is perfect for public squares, walkways, patios and terraces. Pedestrian or vehicular traffic benefict from the use of Sassoitalia's slip-resistant finish in both wet and cold conditions. Due to its monolithic structure, SassoIitalia is not subject to depressions or settlement ensuring a consistent result over the years.

Very easy to keep clean.
SassoItalia is easy to keep clean and is stain resistant. Part of the system requires one of Ideal Work's sealers. These sealers will enhance the colour, prevent dusting and protect against salt erosion in coastal and freeze thaw environments.

Polish it off
Polished concrete is quickly becoming the architectural choice for interior floors and SassoItalia fits in this category. When sustainability or green construction is a consideration then polishing SassoItalia could be your answer. Because of the high early strengths of SassoItalia it can be polished sooner than most concretes.
