WE HELP THE WORLD’S LEADING ARCHITECTS & DESIGNERS BRING THEIR UNIQUE VISIONS TO LIFE. At Tectura Designs®, we don’t say no in response to big ideas. We’ve had no place for that word since the day Ed Creske founded the company as Wausau Tile & Terrazzo in 1953. And looking back, there was no way we wouldn’t succeed. Over time, as innovation and customer demands drove us this way and that, tile led to terrazzo stair treads. Extra cement from those treads led to experimenting with pavers. Pavers led us to precast concrete. And when a new chain named McDonald’s needed furniture, even though we...

BECOMING TECTURA DESIGNS: a time-honored commitment to innovation Tectura Designs’ origins date back to 1953, when a terrazzo contractor named Ed Creske founded the business as Wausau Tile & Terrazzo in his two-car garage.

Over the ensuing decades, as Wausau Tile continued to demonstrate its undying commitment to quality and innovation, a new brand was born. Tectura Designs emerged...

REFLECTIONS SERIES Reflections presents a shining look of modern sophistication. Fine micro-fleck marble aggregate gives the tile a contemporary luminescent quality, with brilliant hints of crushed mirror that add an unmistakable glimmer. But Reflections’ true beauty is in its subtlety, and for an even smoother, more understated air of elegance, the crushed mirror can just as easily be withheld from the mix. Find your style’s Reflections and meet an all-new signature look. Swatch options located on page 28.

FROM CHURCH TO VIBRANT ELEMENTARY SCHOOL The vibrant environment inside New York City's PS 340 Elementary School is the result of a total terrazzo transformation, as this special science-focused school once looked much different as a church. Its stunning makeover was driven entirely by Tectura Designs' unmatched terrazzo capabilities - right down to the act of matching. A wraparound terrazzo staircase gracefully flows from floor-to-floor, met by perfectly matching, monochromatic terrazzo tile on every level. The staircase itself is covered with thin epoxy terrazzo panels and benches that...
