Tapio

What is lightweight concrete, and why is it preferred?

As Kalif Design, we are the first company in the lightweight concrete sector, producing contemporary and durable products with our specially developed formula. Our specially developed terrazzo-textured formula offers several decorative advantages compared to traditional concrete, such as a much more aesthetic, modern, and timeless appearance, as well as functional advantages like lightness and durability. To enhance the durability of our products made from our impact and crack-resistant mixture, all our product groups contain iron reinforcements, while double-layer insulation is used in planters to protect plants from adverse weather conditions. Thanks to these features, our products can be easily used both indoors and outdoors. Additionally, our products do not scratch or fade due to their flawless colors derived from the original appearance of natural stones and their lack of paint.
