Granicia by Aludecor: Where Venetian Artistry Meets Futuristic Innovation

For centuries, the timeless charm of Terrazzo flooring has graced palaces, museums, and historic landmarks across the world – an enduring symbol of craftsmanship and luxury. Today, that same spirit of artistry has found a bold new canvas. Not in stone, not in cement, nor in wood but in Aluminium Composite Panels (ACPs).

At the forefront of this transformation stands Granicia by Aludecor, the world’s first Terrazzo-inspired ACPs, crafted with another world-first, the groundbreaking Hybrid Spray Fusion technology. Proudly made in India and designed for both domestic and international markets, Granicia seamlessly marries the elegance of Venetian tradition with the power of modern engineering.

It’s more than a surface solution – it’s a benchmark in architectural design, offering rich history, distinctive shades, unmatched performance, and versatile applications. A legacy reborn, reimagined for the future.

What began in Venice centuries ago… now lives on in Granicia.

Venetian Inspiration: The Story of Terrazzo

To understand Granicia, it’s important to know the roots of Terrazzo. In 15th-century Venice, skilful artisans invented Pavimento alla Veneziana – Terrazzo floors made by mixing marble, stone, or glass chips into cement. These floors were not only sturdy but visually stunning, thanks to their colourful mosaics and patterns. Over time, Terrazzo grew from humble craft to a mark of luxury, seen in famous places like the Basilica of Saint Mark (Venice), Guggenheim Museum (New York), and National Gallery (London).

Each Terrazzo floor told a story, with artists carefully picking each fragment by color and shape. This made every installation completely unique, a tradition that is captured in the Granicia series today.

Hybrid Spray Fusion Technology: The Heart of Granicia

What makes the Granicia series unique is the use of Aludecor’s world-first Hybrid Spray Fusion technology. This advanced, multi-layer system combines two different coatings to deliver:

• Stunning, intricate finishes with vibrant colors
• High resistance to weather, abrasion, and fading
• Long-lasting shine and durability with minimal maintenance

Thanks to years of research at Aludecor’s R&D lab in India, this technology allows Granicia ACPs to closely mimic the look and feel of Terrazzo, while offering modern performance features designers and architects demand.

The Granicia Palette: 11 Inspiring Shades

Granicia’s palette includes 11 beautiful shades that suit a wide range of design needs. Each shade is inspired by Terrazzo’s legacy, but reimagined for today’s spaces, whether indoors or outdoors.

• Darker Shades: Coal Storm, Blackgrain, Dark Pebble. These colors add depth, drama, and elegance, ideal for sophisticated exteriors and feature walls.
• Lighter Shades: Moonstones, Ash Flakes. Soft and contemporary, perfect for serene interiors and open spaces.
• Colorful Shades: Terrabind and more. Vibrant, joyful hues bring energy and creativity, making each installation a work of art.

Architects can use Granicia’s versatile shades to craft bold facades, lively lobbies, warm living rooms, or eye-catching commercial spaces. The colour range is perfect for creating different moods and atmospheres.

Applications: Where Can Granicia Be Used?

One of Granicia’s biggest strengths is its flexibility. The panels are engineered for both interior and exterior applications, supporting everything from residential remodels to commercial masterpieces. Here are some key places to use Granicia ACPs:

Interior Design

In living rooms, its lighter shades create a sense of openness and calm, while the more playful tones bring warmth and character to cosy corners. Lobbies and reception areas come alive with dramatic dark shades, making an instant impression, especially when paired with softer hues for balance.

For art galleries and museums, the intricate Terrazzo-inspired patterns serve as a striking backdrop, enhancing the visual impact of exhibits without overpowering them. Even in bathrooms and kitchens, Granicia proves its strength, its durable finish stands up to moisture and daily wear, while still delivering elegance and sustainability.

Exterior Design

On the outside, Granicia transforms buildings into bold architectural statements. Its weather-resistant finish and striking colours ensure facades don’t just blend in, but stand tall against the elements with lasting brilliance.

For balconies and cladding, the lightweight panels offer all the charm of Terrazzo without the heaviness of stone, easy to install yet luxurious in appearance. And in commercial spaces, from storefronts to office complexes, Granicia elevates the brand presence, turning exteriors into powerful ambassadors of design.

Other Installations

Granicia isn’t limited to walls and facades – it has the power to turn everyday spaces into design highlights. Feature walls become more than partitions; they transform into striking works of visual art, whether indoors or outdoors.

In elevator lobbies, staircases, and corridors, Granicia brings both style and strength. Its durable surface withstands heavy footfall with ease, while its Terrazzo-inspired patterns add character to areas that are often overlooked.

Sustainability: Eco-Friendly Choice for Green Buildings

Today’s architects want materials that look good, last long, and are gentle on the planet. Granicia rises to this challenge:

• Made with eco-friendly and recyclable aluminium composite panels – reducing carbon footprint and pollution.
• Energy-efficient manufacturing – from sourcing to production.
• Low maintenance and long service life – reducing replacement and repair costs, saving resources over time.

Granicia ACPs are ideal for LEED-certified buildings, green commercial spaces, and any project seeking sustainability alongside style.
