When selecting flooring for high-traffic environments, the demands are clear: it must be tough, low-maintenance, and visually compelling. Such spaces face continuous wear, relentless foot traffic, heavy equipment, and rigorous cleaning protocols that quickly degrade inferior materials. Beyond physical resilience, the flooring choice must seamlessly support aesthetic goals, enhancing rather than detracting from the overall architectural design. Enter Bomanite Modena TGE™ and Bomanite Modena SLE—decorative floor toppings engineered to elevate commercial and institutional spaces while withstanding the realities of heavy use. These flooring systems deliver exceptional durability through a unique combination of specialized aggregates and advanced binding technologies, outperforming traditional terrazzo and conventional polished concrete. Modena’s surfaces do not merely endure—they remain visually vibrant and structurally sound over prolonged use, enhancing long-term value. Architects, designers, and facilities managers alike appreciate Modena’s ability to balance striking beauty with uncompromising toughness.
Modena TGE: A New Standard in Terrazzo Performance
Modena TGE redefines what terrazzo flooring can be. Unlike traditional terrazzo, which relies on softer marble aggregates and requires routine polishing, Modena TGE features a high-performance mix of hard, non-reactive materials. The result? A dense, abrasion-resistant surface that delivers:
- Exceptional durability under continuous foot and rolling traffic
- Outstanding chemical resistance for tough commercial environments
- Minimal maintenance, with no need for frequent polishing or sealing
- Long-term stain resistance, preserving its appearance with ease
Designed for airports, luxury retail, corporate offices, hospitals, and beyond, its seamless, non-porous finish prevents moisture intrusion and bacterial growth—critical in hygienic and high-traffic settings.
Modena SLE: Sleek and Resilient
Complementing TGE, Modena SLE brings a smooth, refined finish with equally impressive performance traits. Ideal for interiors where a clean, minimalist look is desired, SLE provides:
- Tightly bonded aggregates for lasting surface integrity
- Smooth, monolithic appearance with easy-to-clean properties
- Customization options to match branding or design schemes
Both systems are engineered to handle high-demand spaces without compromising design flexibility or physical resilience.
Design Without Limits
Beyond their physical toughness, Modena floor toppings are powerful tools for creative expression in architectural design. Architects and designers seeking to make a lasting impression find endless possibilities with Modena’s extensive palette of colors, aggregates blends, and custom inlays. With Modena, detailed branding elements, company logos, and sophisticated geometric patterns can be seamlessly integrated into the flooring surface. These customized design options elevate flooring from merely functional surfaces to active components of visual storytelling within a space. Additionally, Modena enables consistent, high-quality finishes even across large or multi-phased installations, preserving the integrity of a unified design vision. Whether you are creating a sleek corporate lobby, a visually vibrant retail environment, or an inviting educational facility, Modena provides the creative flexibility needed to realize ambitious concepts. Ultimately, Modena systems empower architects to push the boundaries of conventional flooring aesthetics.
Sustainable Strength
Crafted from carefully selected eco-conscious materials, Modena TGE and SLE reflect a deep commitment to environmental sustainability. By incorporating natural stone, recycled glass, ceramics, and other sustainable aggregates, Modena significantly reduces reliance on virgin raw materials, lowering the carbon footprint of construction projects and offers low-impact, high-performance solutions. Furthermore, the extraordinary durability and resilience of Modena flooring translates directly into reduced maintenance, refurbishment cycles, and ultimately, less waste over the flooring’s lifespan. The systems’ seamless, non-porous nature supports indoor environmental quality by resisting mold, moisture penetration, and bacterial contamination without harsh chemical treatments. Architects specifying Modena can contribute to LEED accreditation goals, satisfying criteria within categories such as Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation in Design. By selecting Modena, architects not only deliver lasting structural integrity but also promote ecological responsibility, aligning design excellence with sustainable construction practices. Modena exemplifies the integration of environmental awareness and practical durability, ensuring spaces perform sustainably over decades.
Delivering Long-Term Value for Demanding Environments
Whether you’re designing a bustling transportation hub, a vibrant healthcare facility, or an upscale retail environment, Modena TGE and Modena SLE meet and exceed the exacting demands of modern commercial spaces. Engineered to withstand constant physical stresses, frequent cleaning, and rigorous hygiene requirements, these systems preserve their structural integrity and appearance year after year. Facility managers benefit from lower lifecycle costs due to Modena’s minimal upkeep requirements, reducing downtime and maintenance expenses significantly. The visual appeal and customizable nature of Modena flooring ensure that facilities remain inviting, professional, and aligned with brand identity, even as they accommodate thousands of visitors daily.
