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, we didn t make furniture. Well, we didn t make furniture yet not until we sketched it out, right on the spot, on a napkin, and that first table gave way to a new site furnishings division. No, none of that stopped us from growing. Forward-thinking architects and designers began to take notice, and soon enough there was no end in sight. From Mount Rushmore to Times Square, those visionaries accepted no substitutes for our elegant and durable pavers, custom precast concrete, site furnishings, custom precast terrazzo and terrazzo tile. The name Tectura Designs represents an undying commitment to quality craftsmanship and attentive service. Our promise is innovation, because your visions demand it, and there s no other way to bring big ideas to life. Let s reimagine what s possible. Together, there s no limit to what we can create. Before we knew it, Wausau Tile introduced Tectura Designs. 01
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. It wasn t long before Wausau Tile added concrete architectural pavers to its impressive portfolio, and the name became synonymous with strength and longevity traits exemplified by its stout and striking machine-pressed pavers. 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 as the new name for America s premier architectural products, and with it came a slew of added capabilities in paver manufacturing. The same high-quality and time-tested concrete pavers that helped establish our reputation as an industry-leading company are now made bigger, stronger and faster, with reduced lead times, increased capacity, easier installation, more sizes and thicknesses, and endless possibilities for customization. Tectura Designs design-forward products are still made by our team of skilled and dedicated craftsmen near Wausau, Wisconsin. Our promise is built on a long and proven heritage of excellence, but our attention is always fixed on the future on innovation, collaboration and our invitation to bring your next project to life. Let s turn your big ideas into beautiful spaces.
