• Creative Edge Master Shop, Fairfield, Iowa, introduces TerrazzoTek™, a branding and specification system for its fabricated terrazzo flooring services.
“The TERRAZZO TEK™ System is the distillation of 25 years of experience working with contractors, artists, and architects in the fabrication of terrazzo flooring,” says Jim Belilove, Creative Edge Master Shop president. “TERRAZZO TEK™ is a series of novel techniques: a tool ki; to enhance artistry, improve efficiency, and expand options in terrazzo installations, both large and small.”
The new line of waterjet-based techniques for the terrazzo industry are:
- JETFORMZ™, using waterjet technology to cut the metal material dividers from brass, aluminum, and bronze. This method adds to detail, complexity, and accuracy of metal dividing strips.
- TRANSFORMZ™, the layout system that faithfully transfers architect, designer, and artist patterns to the floor to be covered in epoxy terrazzo.
- ACCUFORMZ™, the technique of templating for layout letters, logos and emblems accurately and positioning these elements for the terrazzo pour.
- NOFORMZ™, a technique of fabricating intricate art and pattern with no metallic joints, creating striking and colorful detail in artwork and lobby identity pieces.
As a member of the National Terrazzo and Mosaic Association (NTMA), Creative Edge Master Shop has been an active vendor to terrazzo contractors by helping them achieve new artistry, reducing costs, and accelerating installation time. Creative Edge Master Shop can work from the client’s custom design or work with clients to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
Creative Edge was recently commissioned to fabricate two notable terrazzo projects, the Utah State Seal in Salt Lake City (Wisconsin Terrazzo), and the NTMA 2016 Job Of The Year, Pittsburgh International Airport Airside Terminal, in Pittsburgh (Roman Mosaic and Tile Company).
