Tips & Information
The Spanish sun is one of the many reasons people prefer the Mediterranean lifestyle. The many days of sunshine bring endless benefits but can also damage your house and garden. UV radiation can cause your floor to discolor, age, and fade. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to happen! Discover our IZU® cast floors with UV-resistant properties, waterproof and enjoy the sun worry-free.
The impact of UV light on your home
It’s frustrating when your floor starts to discolor or fade over time. Once this process begins, it’s often irreversible. The culprit is UV radiation from sunlight, which breaks down the chemical bonds in the material, leading to fading, color changes, faster wear, and even cracks.
Unlike microcement, our Lavastone and Quartzite cast floors are completely resistant to scratches, UV light, and water, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our floors are much stronger than microcement thanks to the composition of the materials and the application method.
The benefits of our IZU® cast floor with UV-resistant properties
You don’t choose a floor lightly; you want to enjoy it for many years. That’s why our Lavastone and Quartzite cast floors are designed with UV-resistant properties. The special resin offers excellent resistance to the harmful effects of UV radiation.
What does this mean exactly? Our IZU floor contains UV stabilizers that act as a barrier against UV radiation. Is your floor often exposed to the Spanish sun? Then you don’t have to worry about discoloration, fading, or cracking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can’t find the answer to your question? Visit the FAQ page or get in touch.
Can a cast floor be applied directly over tiles?
Yes, a cast floor can be applied directly over tiles. We begin by applying a thin, solid layer of cement to create a smooth foundation, then build up our cast floor system with five carefully applied layers.
How long does it take to apply a cast floor?
Installing an IZU floor takes 5–7 days, followed by a drying period. 48 hours after the work is finished, you can step on it on socks. The floor will need a week before furniture can be placed. In total, the house needs to be empty for 2 weeks.
Is an IZU® cast floor a better alternative than microcement?
Unlike microcement, IZU floors are highly resistant to scratches, UV light, and water, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Their superior strength comes from a specialized material composition based on resin and hard minerals. With the right base, our floors are built up in five layers of ultra-durable material, ensuring a flawless and long-lasting finish.
What is the thickness of an IZU® cast floor?
Our floors are only 2-3 mm thick, excluding the leveling layer. This layer might need to be applied to smoothen the surface. The thickness of this layer depends on the surface below.
Is an IZU floor suitable for outside?
Yes! Our floors are UV- and waterproof, and therefore perfect for your pool area, terrace, and patio. Our floors are very easy to keep clean, will keep their color and don’t stain.
What happens if coffee or wine spills on an IZU® cast floor?
Absolutely nothing! Our floors are protected with an antibacterial, stain-resistant resin that prevents any dirt or liquid from being absorbed. Just wipe away the spill with a damp cloth, and it will look like it never happened.
