ᐅ New terrace flooring with a maximum installation height of 2 cm

Hello! So far, the terrace had tiles that after 30 years lifted during this winter and now have to be removed. For various reasons (door, floor hatch due to a crawl space, etc.), I only have the build-up height of the tiles and maybe an additional 1cm (0.4 inches). Wood, WPC, stone slabs, and resin are therefore not options for me. I can well imagine a concrete terrace or something in industrial design. Preferably a uniform surface in gray or anthracite, possibly with a slight marble effect.

Do you have any ideas on how I can do the floor? The base is concrete. Is it possible to simply level it with filler and seal it with a special paint?

It shouldn’t be synthetic resin products.

Have you ever looked at ceramic patio slabs? They are only 2cm (0.8 inches) thick but need to be installed on a drainage mortar bed.

...but the mortar itself also requires a few centimeters (inches), right?

It was not meant to be synthetic resin products

I haven’t looked into it in detail yet, but I don’t want a “soft” terrace floor. I only know synthetic resin from sports halls, and that’s not something I want.

Ah, I see. Then take a look at stone carpet (it also contains synthetic resin but is “not soft”). My brother has it in his (living) basement, and I once had it installed at our (back then) house abroad in front of the house as a kind of terrace / entrance area.
