Tapio

What is lightweight concrete, and why is it preferred?

At Kalif Design, we are the first company to produce in the lightweight concrete sector, creating contemporary and durable products with our specially developed formula. This terrazzo-textured special formula, developed by us, offers several decorative advantages, such as a much more aesthetic, modern, and timeless appearance compared to traditional concrete, as well as functional advantages like lightness and durability. To make our products more durable, all our product lines include iron reinforcements. Additionally, to protect plants in planters from adverse weather conditions, double-layer insulation is used. Thanks to these features, our products can be comfortably used in both indoor and outdoor settings. Furthermore, since our products derive their flawless colors from the original appearance of natural stones and do not contain paint, they do not scratch or fade.
