Concrete Outdoor Chess Area with a Terrazzo-Structured Surface 'BS-162'

Outdoor Chess with High-Quality Terrazzo-Structured Concrete Board

The outdoor chess board is made of high-quality reinforced and fiber-strengthened concrete, with a surface featuring an exclusive terrazzo structure. Terrazzo is a decorative concrete technology in which fragments of natural marble or granite are integrated into the concrete mass, giving the surface a unique pattern, aesthetic distinction, and durability.
The size of the stone fragments and color combinations are selected with high precision, making each chess board visually unique and easily adaptable to different architectural or landscape solutions.
The polished terrazzo surface, additionally coated with a special protective layer, ensures high resistance to frost, moisture, UV radiation, and intensive mechanical impact. The protective coating reduces dirt absorption and facilitates maintenance, allowing the board to retain a representative appearance for many years even under challenging outdoor conditions.

This concrete outdoor chess board with terrazzo structure is not only a functional game element but also a distinctive small architectural object enriching contemporary public spaces. The design concept is inspired by the ancient origins of chess in India and Persia, while modern materials and processing technologies allow a harmonious combination of historical context with contemporary urban architecture.

• Product surface: polished and coated with a protective varnish, resistant to UV rays, resembling natural granite.
• Our concrete products are made of fiber-reinforced, high-strength concrete with a uniform terrazzo structure, which not only increases resistance to mechanical and environmental stress but also provides an aesthetically appealing and visually striking appearance. Polished or textured surfaces feel pleasant to touch, are easy to maintain, and resist dirt and stains. All surfaces are coated with a special protective layer that effectively guards against moisture, frost, UV rays, and urban pollution. Because of these qualities, the products are ideal for use in various public spaces—cities, resorts, parks, or residential areas.
  Terrazzo is a high-quality, homogeneous decorative concrete structure in which fragments of marble, granite, glass, or other minerals are evenly distributed throughout the product mass. After careful grinding and polishing, the terrazzo surface becomes smooth, velvety soft, and subtly glossy, while maintaining exceptional resistance to wear and external factors. This technology not only ensures long-lasting concrete quality but also allows for creating custom design solutions that fit well in both modern and historic urban contexts.
  These are top-quality concrete products designed for long-term use. They stand out for their durability, functionality, and visual value which remain relevant even in intensively used spaces.

Concrete Finish:

• The concrete products are made from C 40/50 class concrete, meeting the strength requirements according to European standard EN 206-1.
• The concrete part is made of at least C 40 concrete with a natural granite or marble chip finish (2-5 mm fraction). The chips are not glued to the surface but are incorporated directly into the product structure during the manufacturing process.
• The surface finish features exposed polished concrete, which is additionally coated with UV and water-resistant varnish, giving it a "Wet Look" appearance. This not only enhances the aesthetic impression but also protects the tables and benches from environmental impact, extending their service life.
• The desired concrete color can be selected from the options provided in the manufacturer’s gallery.

Terrazzo – premium-quality decorative surface made from marble and granite aggregates

Terrazzo is a luxurious, long-lasting and high-quality composite stone material made from marble, granite, quartz or other natural stone aggregates, bound with cement or epoxy. Due to its high content of decorative stone, Terrazzo delivers unique aesthetics and superior technical performance that clearly surpasses traditional concrete products.

Its surface is refined through a meticulous grinding and polishing process, revealing the natural stone mosaic and creating a premium, seamless finish. Terrazzo is denser, smoother, moisture-resistant and far more durable than ordinary concrete, making it ideal for both interior and exterior use.

Thanks to these qualities, Terrazzo is widely used for outdoor furniture, small architectural elements, planters, benches, countertops, stairs, façade details and other decorative products. It maintains its beauty and durability for many years, even under heavy use and changing weather conditions.

Differences between Terrazzo and traditional concrete products with granite aggregate

1. Composition
   • Terrazzo: contains a high amount of marble and granite aggregate, giving the surface a seamless, luxurious look with rich colors. Each product is like a natural stone mosaic, where the stone is the main component and the binder only strengthens the structure.
   • Traditional concrete: the stone component is only a small fraction, while the base consists of cement and gravel. As a result, the surface often looks monotonous, flat, and less aesthetic.
2. Structure and density
   • Terrazzo: due to its dense structure and low porosity, the material does not absorb moisture, dirt, or other contaminants. This provides durability and resistance to frost, heat, and mechanical impact.
   • Concrete: is porous and more absorbent, so it wears out faster, cracks, or accumulates dirt, especially outdoors. Moisture can also damage the structure, particularly in cold climates.
3. Surface finishing
   • Terrazzo: the surface is ground and polished in several stages, revealing the natural stone pattern, colors, and texture. This finish not only enhances beauty but also makes cleaning easier.
   • Concrete: the surface is usually rough or only minimally smoothed, resulting in uneven light reflection and more difficult maintenance.
4. Aesthetics
   • Terrazzo: provides a luxurious, rich, mosaic effect appreciated by architects and designers. Each product is unique – the aggregate pattern never repeats, creating a distinctive impression.
   • Concrete: looks simpler, uniform, and less decorative, so it does not always give interior or exterior spaces a distinctive look.
5. Durability and longevity
   • Terrazzo: can last for decades as the surface retains its color, shine, and texture. Its wear resistance allows intensive use – both indoors and outdoors.
   • Concrete: wears out faster, loses color, absorbs dirt and moisture, and requires more maintenance and frequent renovation or restoration.

By choosing Terrazzo, you select a premium material that brings long-lasting beauty, uniqueness, and professional, architect-approved design to your space.
