It is beautiful and affordable SassoItalia is a natural flooring of great scenic effect, but it is also rapid to realize and its price is really affordable. With SassoItalia® you can create geometric shapes, colours and specific matching and combinations with other materials such as precious marble aggregates, bricks, local river pebbles, natural stones, giving free rein to your creativity and to the abilities of Ideal Work's installers.
It is extremely flexible SassoItalia® paving requires only 3 cm of decorative layer. Therefore, it is extremely flexible and suitable for renovations of existing floors. In these cases, the application of IDEAL BOND will be necessary in order to bond new concrete onto the mature concrete screed. SassoItalia® may of course be applied on freshly placed concrete as well, expecially in case of small surfaces.
It is unique and customizable Colours, combinations and types of aggregates can be determined by either the project manager or the client by using all the available combinations. It is possible to use local aggregates and pebbles or to choose among one of those proposed by IDEAL WORK. In this case there are different types available; pebbles or round and split aggregates of different sizes. The floor's base colour is provided by a specially formulated blend of admixtures and fibres COLOUR MIX. There are five colours available, which can become ten if mixed with white or grey cement. Thanks to the various versions of surface deactivator available, it is then possible to decide the aggregate's final degree of exposure.
It is practical, solid and resistant SassoItalia® is perfect for public squares, walkways, patios and terraces. Pedestrian and vehicular traffic is not an issue for SassoItalia® paving, whose resistance to compression is related to the thickness of the concrete screed. Moreover, its monolithic structure is not subject to depressions or settlement.
It is suitable for all climatic conditions The SassoItalia® surface can be treated with special anti-dust and waterproof protective resins, in order to assure a long-lasting beauty. In areas with cold climates, subject to freeze/thaw cycles or in contact with sea water, it is possible to apply special sealers on your SassoItalia® floor, which make the surface resistant to extreme agents. These surface treatments are applied once the laying process is over; like this, it will be much easier and faster both for you and your installer.
It is also ideal for interiors Unlike all other standard external concrete flooring, Ideal Work SassoItalia® floors are very rapid to realize. First of all, they need no screed: once the surface is ready, it is possibile to cast the concrete. Moreover, there is no need to build containment edges, as the surface is created on a unique cast-in-place concrete slab. It is also very quick to realize. In only one day, based on the season and the complexity of the project, a team of Ideal Work installers is able to lay from 50 to 80 square metres of concrete, and the flooring will be ready to be walked on after just a few hours from completion.
It is easy to maintain No special maintenance is required for SassoItalia® flooring. Day after day and year after year, SassoItalia® can be kept clean simply by sweeping and washing like any other concrete surface, mantaining its original features unchanged over time.
