  • Patent number: 12269772
    Abstract: A method of forming a lightweight polished concrete and the resulting composition. Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement and specialized grout may be added to an amount of water in a mixer. The CSA cement, specialized grout, and water may be blended to a smooth consistency. Lightweight aggregates (LWA) may be added to the blended CSA cement, specialized grout, and water to form a mixture. The mixture may be poured over a fiberglass rebar, vibrated, screeded, and allowed to set. The set mixture may be smoothed with float blades. The smoothed mixture may be hardened with metal blades, such that the hardened mixture becomes reflective. A concrete densifier may be applied to the hardened mixture to form the lightweight polished concrete. Optionally, one or more saw cuts may be formed in the lightweight polished concrete and a coating to may be applied to fill the one or more saw cuts.

  • Publication number: 20250084009
    Abstract: A terrazzo product including a first primer layer on an upper surface of a concrete substrate; a second primer layer on the first primer layer; a seed layer on the second primer layer, the seed layer including one or more of sand and shot; a terrazzo layer on the seed layer, the terrazzo layer including, by weight, 57% calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, 29% white milk glass, and 14% of one or more of broken mirrored glass and colored glass; a first joint filler in one or more cuts formed in the terrazzo layer; a concrete densifier within one or more of the first joint filler, the terrazzo layer, the seed layer, the second primer layer, the first primer layer, and at least a portion of the concrete substrate; and a sealer on the terrazzo layer and the first joint filler.

  • Patent number: 12234187
    Abstract: A method of forming a lightweight concrete block and the resulting structure. Calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement and specialized grout maybe added to an amount of water in a mixer. The CSA cement, specialized grout, and water may be blended to a smooth consistency. Lightweight aggregates (LWA) maybe added to form a mixture. The mixture may be poured into a mold, allowed the mixture to cure, and removed from the mold to form the lightweight concrete block. The lightweight concrete block may have a first side and a second side joined by a plurality of interposing walls, the interposing walls defining one or more inner cavities and one or more outer cavities. The lightweight concrete block may have features that allow for the insertion of fiberglass rebar to aide in stacking and filling to form a wall.

  • Patent number: 12187657
    Abstract: An improved terrazzo process for applying terrazzo to an existing concrete surface comprising preparing the concrete surface, applying two layers of a primer agent, applying a terrazzo layer comprising calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement, white milk glass, and one or more of broken mirrored glass and colored glass, cutting the terrazzo layer, applying a concrete densifier such that the concrete densifier penetrates into at least a portion of the concrete substrate, and grinding and polishing the densified terrazzo layer.

  • Publication number: 20220289630
    Abstract: A method of forming a lightweight concrete comprising lightweight aggregates (LWA) made from recycled materials and the resulting composition. The lightweight concrete may be formed by adding calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement and a specialized grout to an amount of water in a mixer, wherein a ratio of the water to the CSA cement is 1 quart to every 10 lbs of CSA cement. The CSA cement, specialized grout, and water may be blended to a smooth consistency. LWA may be added to the blended CSA cement, specialized grout, and water, wherein a ratio of the CSA cement to LWA is 60/40 by weight. The mixture of LWA, CSA cement, specialized grout, and water may be poured over a fiberglass rebar. The mixture may be allowed to cure and before being densified with a lithium densifier.
