betoonkattega

Betoonkattega is a type of decorative concrete surface treatment that combines traditional Portland cement with various aggregates, pigments, and additives to create a versatile coating suitable for both interior and exterior applications. The core composition consists of a cementitious binder, fine aggregates such as quartz or silica sand, and a range of polymers or epoxy resins that enhance durability and adhesion. Color pigments are incorporated during mixing, allowing the surface to be produced in a wide spectrum of hues, from natural stone-like tones to bright metallic finishes.

The production process typically involves wet-mixing the cementitious base with the selected additives, followed by casting or spraying the mixture onto prepared substrates. Once cured, the betoonkattega layer can be sanded or abraded to reveal a variety of textures, including smooth, stippled, or textured patterns that mimic natural stone or wood grain. Its high compressive strength and resistance to abrasion make it popular for flooring in high-traffic areas, wall panels, and architectural façade elements.

In addition to aesthetic versatility, betoonkattega offers functional benefits such as fire resistance, chemical resistance, and low maintenance. However, its application requires skilled workforce and proper surface preparation to ensure long-term adhesion. The product is marketed by several European manufacturers and is gaining traction in sustainable construction projects where the recyclability of concrete is advantageous. While similar to traditional terrazzo and decorative concrete coatings, betoonkattega distinguishes itself by its simplified production workflow and expanded palette of color options.
