What is a mortar floor?
A mortar floor is a seamless floor made of gravel or quartz granules bound together by epoxy resin. Applied manually with a trowel and a float, it visually resembles a stone carpet but has a finer texture.
Typically, mortar floors are finished with a sealer and a transparent topcoat for a durable and liquid-proof finish. They are significantly more scratch-resistant than synthetic resin-bonded poured floors.
Most common applications.
Mortar floors are mainly used in locations that require an extremely durable and easily cleanable surface.
Examples include: hospitality spaces, balconies, museums, butcher shops, sanitary areas, galleries, production halls, factories, warehouses, showrooms, and stables.
Despite their industrial properties, mortar floors are becoming increasingly popular in residential projects, especially for their aesthetic appeal and low-maintenance qualities.
