The fineness of stone

The fineness of stone

a discreet mineral floor

Composed of aggregates no larger than 8 mm, the LucemStar® micro-granito offers a fine texture and simple application.

This micro-granito establishes itself as a new balance in the terrazzo world: an affordable alternative with no compromise on material beauty.

With its minimal thickness it can be applied in both new-build and renovation projects.
It integrates seamlessly into high-end residential spaces as well as large-scale architectural and public works.

A call to creativity

a versatile & reliable material

LucemStar® terrazzo is not merely a surface covering but a true design tool. This living material offers architects and designers an infinite field of expression, combining technical reliability with aesthetic freedom.

It is available in 75 contemporary designs.

Custom references can be developed to affirm your project's identity. Each composition reveals a play of contrast between the fineness of the binder and the strength of the aggregates, which together transform the surface into a fully-fledged architectural element.

A call to creativity

▷ Factory pre-dosing and industrialisation of the terrazzo guarantee design consistency.

▷ Excellent workability allows efficient management of on-site progress.

▷ Terrazzo is a noble material capturing the mineral purity and aesthetics of a polished marble-like finish.

▷ The absence of joints brings continuity and depth to spaces.

▷ With 75 references including semi-precious stones, the LucemStar® range offers an unrivalled choice.

▷ Custom designs available.

▷ Compatible with RE 2020 thermal regulations.

▷ Contributes to A+ indoor air quality.

▷ FDES (Environmental and Health Product Declaration) available for building environmental performance calculations.

▷ Unlike resin-based terrazzo, our mineral granito is UV-resistant.

▷ Easy maintenance. Download the "LucemStar surface care" data sheet.

▷ The polished mineral blend delivers timeless longevity and aesthetics.

Technical & feasibility

What substrates can terrazzo be applied to?

AdLucem terrazzo can be applied to:

  • Concrete slab
  • Cement screed
  • Dry screed (e.g. Fermacell)
  • Existing substrate in renovation (after suitable preparation)

The final thickness depends on the system chosen and aggregate particle size:

5 mm — LucemGlass
8 mm — LucemStar
12 mm — LucemStone

These contemporary thicknesses allow easy integration into current projects — new-build and renovation alike.

Is it compatible with underfloor heating?

AdLucem® terrazzo is compatible with:

  • Underfloor heating
  • Reversible underfloor heating/cooling

Its mineral composition promotes excellent thermal inertia and heat diffusion.

Is it suited to all project types?

AdLucem® terrazzo is designed to meet the requirements of:

  • Residential (all rooms)
  • Cafés, Hotels, Restaurants
  • Offices
  • Public spaces

Its mechanical resistance and durability make it suitable for both residential and commercial use.

Are movement joints required?

Substrate movement joints must be maintained in the surface finish.

In addition, movement joints are recommended every 100 m² to accommodate structural movement and ensure the floor's longevity.

Aesthetics & appearance

Is the finish consistent?

Thanks to factory pre-dosing, AdLucem® kits guarantee design consistency and aesthetic control.

Aggregate distribution and binder shade are calibrated for a balanced result true to the chosen model.

Can the design be customised?

Yes, subject to certain conditions.

Customisation may involve:

  • Binder colour
  • Aggregate type and shade

Any custom request is subject to a study by our chemist-colourists and engineers.

This study is chargeable and guarantees technical feasibility and system stability.

How does it differ from traditional terrazzo?

AdLucem® terrazzo uses contemporary thicknesses of 5 to 12 mm, compared with 5 to 10 cm for traditional versions.

This addresses modern constraints:

  • Project timelines
  • Compatibility with current structures
  • Load reduction
  • Optimised application

They preserve the Italian terrazzo heritage:

  • Durability
  • Longevity
  • Marble-like finishes
  • Authentic mineral craftsmanship

Does terrazzo pair well with other materials?

Yes.

Its mineral aesthetic pairs beautifully with:

  • Timber
  • Metal
  • Glass
  • Natural stone

It brings a noble, timeless and architectural dimension to spaces.

Maintenance & daily use

Is it porous?

No.

A LucemSill mineralisation layer is applied to densify and protect the surface.

Is it slippery once polished?

No.

The PN24 rating attests to its slip resistance.

For wet or outdoor areas, specific finishes are available:

  • Brushed finish
  • Bush-hammered finish

These finishes further improve anti-slip properties.

Is it sensitive to stains (wine, oil, lemon, etc.)?

The system benefits from LucemShield+ protection, effective against common stains for 24 hours, allowing cleaning without surface damage.

How do you maintain it day-to-day? Is re-polishing or re-protection needed over time?

For small surfaces:
Standard cloth cleaning is sufficient.

For large surfaces or high-traffic areas:
Use LucemCare® cleaner with a scrubber equipped with a MPMS Rubis diamond pad.

This achieves:

  • Gloss restoration
  • Surface regeneration

The following must be avoided:

  • Ammonia
  • Vinegar
  • Bleach
  • Multi-purpose cleaners
  • Acidic or limescale products
