MARKET PAIN POINTS
Real project challenges.
A new perspective on material value.
SHINKA considers installation, labour, renovation disruption and long-term maintenance alongside the surface itself.
Labour & learning curve
The challenge
Complex traditional processes can rely heavily on highly experienced installers.
The SHINKA approach
A standardised self-levelling process supports training and installation efficiency.
Demolition & disposal
The challenge
Removing old tiles creates noise, dust, waste and additional time.
The SHINKA approach
Where the substrate is suitable, overlay renovation can reduce demolition disruption.
Dirt in joints
The challenge
Tile joints can collect dirt and break up the visual surface.
The SHINKA approach
A continuous, seamless floor creates a unified space and simplifies routine cleaning.
MATERIAL COMPARISON
Comparing common materials
There is no single right material. These comparisons cover form, design, installation, maintenance and applications. Results depend on the substrate, design, team and site conditions.

RENOVATION DECISION GUIDE
Three approaches to floor renovation
Tile replacement, tile overlay and Liquid Terrazzo differ in timing, substrate risks, finished floor height and waste—not just appearance.
Each method suits different project conditions. Consider budget, timing, substrate, future maintenance and design goals together.
VALUE / 2026 MATERIAL
Simple design. Informed decisions.
New materials should support design quality, installation efficiency, occupant wellbeing and long-term operation.
Time value
Reduce demolition and rebuilding stages to limit operational downtime.
Design value
Use base colour, aggregate and scale to express a project’s identity.
Whole-life thinking
Consider wear, cleaning and ongoing costs alongside the material price.
REAL PROJECTS / BEFORE & AFTER
The difference is real.
Let the projects speak.
Offices, hospitality, homes, retail and education.
Five actual projects, shown before and after renovation.
SHINKA office · Ground-floor restroom
Existing tiles renewed with a continuous, light-toned floor finish.
Xiduo Motel
A bathroom floor renovation that preserves the existing layout and refreshes the finish.
Private residence · Bathroom
An existing bathroom floor renewed with a more continuous surface.
Qingfeng Building Materials
Before and after: an existing floor transformed into a light-toned finish.

LIQUID TERRAZZO
Designing a continuous landscape
From existing-floor renovation and aggregate proportions to seamless edges, Liquid Terrazzo considers the entire space.
Design language
Plan base colour, aggregate size and density to create a project-specific terrazzo finish.
Coordinated installation
After substrate assessment, follow the system process for primer, self-levelling layer and protective finish.
Long-term use
A seamless surface combines wear resistance, water resistance, slip considerations and cleaning efficiency.
Confirm colour, finish and suitability with samples and a project-specific substrate assessment.
