Aigó

Aigó is a hydrochromic concrete pavement. It means a ground with concrete base and texture and hydrochromic surface that is thought to cover considerable extensions of inner pavements. It changes its color when in contact with water, so it helps to see when liquids on the floor. This avoids the user to slip with water and get injured; it also avoids the entire house to be dirty because some liquid in the floor has been stepped unnecessarily; or it even avoids forgetting to clean any space when cleaning the pavement.

The product is designed for interior coatings, whether large industrial buildings or particular homes -mainly in kitchens and toilets. It is a paved floor, of smooth and unified surface that does not require the use of tiles.

However, Aigó refers to the material that is needed to generate these pavements. It means that Aigó is the concrete materials treated with a hydrochromic product. The treatment gives a hue to the product that disappears when it comes into contact with water, so that the space in which the liquid has been applied is distinguished from another color.
