Terrazzo flooring in KL, Selangor and Penang: IFS Japanese terrazzo, poured in place with no grout lines, on a base prepared with Rayson materials.
We reply within one working day, Monday to Friday.
Rayson-authorised applicators in Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, and Penang. In Johor: Terrazzo flooring in Johor Bahru.
Terrazzo tiles are cast in a factory and laid with a joint at every tile. Poured terrazzo is mixed and laid on site, then ground and polished into one continuous floor without grout lines. IFS Japanese terrazzo is poured in place, on a base the Rayson-authorised applicator prepares.
Photos from IFS
Photos supplied by IFS, not jobs in Malaysia. Your colour, texture and pattern are chosen on a sample board.
IFS’s Japanese terrazzo is a collection of terrazzo products made in Japan: marble or granite chips in a binder, poured in place, then ground and polished into a smooth, hard-wearing floor, chosen for durability, low upkeep and design choice.
Because it is laid on site, the pattern runs unbroken across the floor, with divider strips only where the design or the building’s movement joints need them. The chips, colours and finish are chosen on a sample board.
Marble comes as slabs or tiles with joints, and its veining is natural; terrazzo is one continuous floor whose chips and colours are chosen on a sample. Both are stone floors that want acidic spills, such as vinegar and lime, wiped up quickly.
Terrazzo can be ground and re-polished in place when it wears, and its pattern can carry on into stairs, skirtings and counters in the same finish.
Poured terrazzo needs a flat, sound and dry base, and it adds height. The applicator checks the existing floor, levels it or lays a new screed bonded with SealForce RW1, and checks door clearances and thresholds before quoting.
Whether existing tiles can stay depends on the IFS product and the tiles, so the applicator proposes either preparing the floor or laying a new screed. Moisture is checked too, because terrazzo laid over damp concrete is a common cause of failure.
Often closely, from the chip size and colour, and the sample board shows how close before anything is poured. An exact match with a floor cast decades ago is not promised.
In older shophouses in George Town and older homes around KL, the original floor may be worth keeping; the applicator looks at what is there before proposing to cover it or extend it.

| How it is made | Mixed and poured on site, then ground and polished | Cast in a factory as tiles | Printed or pressed porcelain | Natural stone, cut into slabs or tiles |
| Joints | None; divider strips only where designed | A joint at every tile | A grout line at every tile | Joints between slabs |

A first guide. The applicator confirms the right floor for your room on site.
Chips, colours and any divider strips chosen on a sample board; the build-up over your base confirmed on it.
Grinding, repairs and levelling, moisture checked; a screed bonded with SealForce RW1, or PrimeBond E20 primer, where the system calls for it.
IFS Japanese terrazzo poured in place, then ground and polished in stages to the finish chosen.
Sealed against stains, with the care regime explained.
Per square foot, quoted after inspection by the applicator for your area. Five things decide it: the area, how much the base needs levelling or a new screed, the chips and colours chosen, divider strips and patterns, and stairs, skirtings and counters against open floor. Poured terrazzo is priced as one floor, not per tile. Rayson publishes no price list.

The build-up, top to bottom · diagram, not to scale
Rayson PrimeBond E20 is a two-component, medium-viscosity, solvent-free epoxy bonding primer that anchors resin floor systems to concrete, screed, asphalt and prepared metal — on dry or damp substrates.
Specifications →
Rayson SealForce RW1 is a one-part latex waterproofing and bonding additive for cement-based work — mixed into renders, screeds, slurry coats, tile adhesives and grout to cut water penetration, strengthen the mortar and improve its bond and flexibility.
Specifications →The decorative finish itself is an IFS product, not a Rayson one.
The system is specified by the company that makes the material, and installed by an independent applicator Rayson has authorised, not chosen from whatever a supplier had on the shelf that week.
Every Rayson material on your floor or roof has a published technical data sheet. You can read what went in, and so can your consultant.
Rayson warrants the material as its maker. The authorised applicator, an independent company that contracts with you, warrants the workmanship. Each warranty is issued by the company responsible for it.
The products, data sheets and application methods are the ones Rayson publishes in Singapore. Nothing is rebadged for Malaysia.
Contractors and facility teams buy the same materials direct from the maker, with application guidance. The applicator is there when you want the job done for you.
Each with the Rayson layers it uses
All decorative finishes ↗Seamless IFS MicroCrete® for condo bathrooms, floors and walls, with Rayson waterproofing under every wet area.
Dry rooms: PrimeBond E20 on concrete or screed, or a bonding primer over firmly bonded tiles, in place of the membrane.
Quoted after inspectionThe polished concrete and simen kilat look over the floor you already have: the IFS overlay, or IFS’s polished concrete slab for a new floor.
A new floor: IFS polished concrete slab, at least 25 mm (IFS). Wet areas: the applicator confirms whether SealForce WB20 goes underneath first.
Quoted after inspectionSpeckled epoxy flake and seamless metallic epoxy floors from the IFS range, for homes, garages and showrooms, over Rayson primer.
Firmly bonded tiles: grout lines filled and a bonding primer first.
Quoted after inspectionNo. The IFS terrazzo in this range is poured in place, which is how it avoids grout lines. If you are laying terrazzo tiles, Rayson SealForce WB20 is made for the waterproofing under tiles in wet areas, and SealForce RW1 for the cement layers, tile bedding and grout; ask when you enquire.
An independent, Rayson-authorised applicator in your area: Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, including Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam and Subang Jaya, or Penang, island and mainland. It inspects, quotes, contracts with you and warrants the workmanship; Rayson is not the installer. Elsewhere in Selangor is confirmed per enquiry, and Johor has its own page.
IFS Japanese terrazzo comes from Industrial Floor & Systems Pte. Ltd (IFS), a collection of terrazzo products made in Japan, and carries IFS’s own terms. The Rayson layers in the base have published data sheets, and the combined build-up is confirmed on a sample board before your job.
It depends on the area and the base: the base is prepared and cures, the terrazzo is poured and cures, then it is ground and polished in stages. The applicator sets out the programme in the quotation.
Three parties, each for its own part: Rayson for its layers as their maker, IFS’s terms for the terrazzo, and the Rayson-authorised applicator for the workmanship. All three are written into the quotation.
Tell us what the surface is, where it is and what it has to withstand. Rayson replies with a system recommendation; for installation, the applicator for your area in Johor, Kuala Lumpur or Penang is introduced to quote the job.
Malaysia launch: 1 March 2027. Enquiries are welcome now; supply, site assessment and installation timing are confirmed for each project.
