TESCO Products began producing alloy divider strips in 1975 and has produced and sold millions of feet of this superior strip to the Terrazzo and construction trade.  TESCO has done away with most of the drawbacks of the old fashioned zinc topped, 2 piece, galvanized steel base divider strips.

No zinc tops to separate from the steel base and ruin a good terrazzo or flooring job. No other white metal divider strip is recommended for exterior use. No other strip will stand up better under severe acid or salt attack.

Due to the space age alloy that TESCO uses, cement products actually form a coating on our alloy strips that promotes bonding to cement and protects the strip from further attack by alkaline.

GUARANTEE: We guarantee our alloy divider strips to have equal or better performance characteristics than zinc dividers when used in cement, epoxy, polyester, polyacrylic or any other terrazzo or flooring systems.

This short table only applies to solid zinc strip. However, approximately 80% of all strips used have only a zinc top and a galvanized steel base. The galvanized sheet metal base has very little structural strength and is attacked by most all elements. TESCO ALLOY DIVIDER STRIP is the strip to use and specify.
