Fashion is a cycle, in the 80's popular terrazzo is now popular again back, and become the design world's favorite.

1. Introduction to terrazzo
Terrazzo, a kind of flooring originated in the 15th century Venice has spots, durable. 1970s and 80s in China is popular, and widely used in architectural decoration and schools, hospitals and other public places in the decoration of decoration.

(1) Composition:
It consists of pieces of marble, quartzite, or glass, and the seams are filled with cement or similar bonding materials, and then the surface is polished to a smooth finish.

(2) Construction fabrication process:
The construction fabrication process is divided into on-site poured terrazzo and prefabricated slab terrazzo floors.

(3) Applicable places:
Can be used in villas, hospitals, schools, squares, subway stations, warehouses, parking lots, shopping malls and other residential and public places.

△The current terrazzo floor design, shape, color variety, with a sense of retro



2. Terrazzo production process
In recent years, the forgotten terrazzo is gradually popular, and most of the terrazzo production began to use epoxy resin instead of cement as the terrazzo adhesive.

Epoxy resin is more delicate and rich in color performance, so terrazzo colors also began to be rich, with a sense of retro atmosphere, a big hit.



● Terrazzo construction production process is divided into on-site pouring terrazzo and finished terrazzo tile.

2.1 Cast-in-place terrazzo:
Field poured terrazzo is a surface that will be made up of pieces of marble, quartzite, or glass at the construction site, with the seams filled with cement or a similar bonding material, and then polished to a smooth finish.

Its common filler is divided into two kinds: traditional cement filling and epoxy resin filling.

Epoxy resin terrazzo epoxy resin is transparent gel-like, the color of the embryo color and aggregate color reproduction is very high, the disadvantage is that it can only be used indoors, can not be used outdoors.

Epoxy terrazzo will fade and flake slightly when used outdoors, while cement terrazzo will not.

Cast-in-place terrazzo construction process:
Grass-roots treatment: the concrete grass-roots level on the debris clean, there shall be no oil, floating soil.

Find the elevation and play the level line: measure the elevation of the terrazzo surface layer and play it on the surrounding wall.

Wipe the leveling layer mortar: gray cake mortar hard knot, to the height of the cake as a standard, paving and wiping 1:3 leveling layer mortar. Generally 40mm or 50mm

Pave terrazzo mix: the mixed terrazzo mix according to the design plan laid to the ground, and its rolling, smoothing, polishing and other processes.

Waxing and polishing: after scrubbing the surface layer with oxalic acid, waxing and polishing with stone grinding machine. The general thickness of the finished surface layer is 5~10mm.

2.2 Finished terrazzo tiles:
Finished terrazzo tiles are divided into two kinds: terrazzo precast slab tiles and imitation terrazzo floor tiles.

(1) Terrazzo prefabricated panels:
It refers to the factory with a machine uniformly poured in advance of cutting a good graphite, its advantage is that it can better manipulate the cost.

(2) imitation terrazzo floor tiles:
Refers to the imitation terrazzo pattern made of ceramic tiles. Its advantage is that the sample color is more.

Construction Method:
Both finished terrazzo tiles can be laid in accordance with the floor tiles: clean up the grass-roots level-full of dry hard cement sand-tile laying.



3. The use of terrazzo
The following is the effect of ground paving, mainly to patchwork and embedded metal strips to separate the ground performance:
