Concrete tile, poured and ground in Karachi
Ten ranges leave our own works. We mix the cement, crush and grade the marble chip, press the tile, cure it, then grind and polish it on our machines. The crew that lays it on site is the same crew. Nothing on this list is bought in and relabelled.
Terrazzo tiles
Terrazzo is marble aggregate suspended in a cement matrix, poured by hand and then ground flat until the stone reads. Thirty eight coded finishes are in current production across six base colours, from ATW-1001 in white to ATB-6001 in light beige brown. Because the aggregate runs through the full depth of the tile, a floor that dulls after ten years is reground rather than lifted.
Washed terrazzo tiles
Washed terrazzo is the same hand poured body as polished terrazzo, stopped at a different point. Instead of grinding the aggregate flat, the surface is washed back so the chips stand above the cement matrix. What you get is a floor you can read with a hand and feel through a shoe, which is what a ramp or a wet threshold needs. It is made two ways: cast as tile at the works, or floated onto a wall in place by our own team, which is the route that gets rid of the joint.
Concrete cement tiles
A concrete cement tile is the plain member of the family: pigmented cement, hand poured, matte, with no aggregate showing. The colour goes through the body rather than onto the face, so there is no printed layer to wear off and no glaze to chip. Specify it where the floor should read as one quiet plane and something else in the room does the talking.
Moroccan pattern tiles
A Moroccan pattern tile is an encaustic cement tile: pigmented slurry laid by hand into a brass divider, backed with a structural cement body, and pressed. Seventeen patterns are in the current book. Because the pattern sits in the wearing layer rather than on top of it, the floor holds its drawing for as long as the tile lasts.
3D wall tile
A 3D wall tile is a unit of cast concrete with relief in its face. Laid to a repeat the joints stop registering, and what a room reads is one sculpted plane that changes through the day as the light moves across it. Six patterns are in production: Shakl, Mathlath, Khewra, Lehr, Arrow and Koella.
Screen block
A jali is a wall you can see past in one direction and not the other. These are solid cast concrete blocks, laid up like masonry, that carry daylight and moving air into a building while holding the line of the facade and the privacy behind it. Fifteen designs are in the book, cast two ways: dry cast for a textured matte face, wet cast for a smooth one.
Roof heat insulation tile
A roof heat insulation tile is three layers cast into one unit and laid across the roof deck: a wearing top that takes feet and sun, an insulating core, and a structural base that carries both. It works on the surface that keeps a Karachi bedroom warm at midnight, which is the slab overhead. The top comes in premium terrazzo, washed terrazzo or plain CC, and which one you pick sets both the look and how much heat the unit turns away.
Outdoor paving
Paving units for a driveway, a car porch, a pathway or a service yard, cast heavier than a floor tile and specified for the traffic that will cross them. What holds a paved drive together is never the unit on its own. It is the unit, the pattern it is laid in, the bed it sits on and the restraint at its edge, and those four are specified together.
Palladiana terrazzo
Palladiana is terrazzo built from broken marble slab instead of graded chip. Pieces the size of a hand are bedded into a cement matrix, the gaps between them are filled, and the whole surface is ground flat until slab and matrix sit in one plane. It reads as stone with a drawn joint rather than as speckle, and it is made two ways: as tile at the works, or poured in place on site with no joints at all.
GFRC and GRC
GFRC is concrete with alkali resistant glass fibre dispersed through it instead of steel in the middle of it. The fibre carries the tension the cement cannot, so a panel holds together at a fraction of the thickness a reinforced one needs. That is the whole point of the material: it puts a cast concrete face on a building at a weight the structure can carry and in shapes a solid casting could never leave the mould in.
Stone from the same yard
We manufacture the concrete tile and supply the stone, cut to size in Karachi, so a marble threshold and a terrazzo floor arrive on one schedule. Send the codes, the formats and the site, and we will come back with sample plates and a quote.
