Five Essential Steps for Terrazzo Floor Installation!

We've previously discussed the techniques for terrazzo floor installation, hoping it would help you all better perform terrazzo floor installations. Today, to ensure the quality of your terrazzo floor installations, we want to introduce the five essential steps that are a must for terrazzo floor installation. Let's take a look together.

Leveling layer with cement mortar. The work procedure includes: first, leveling, cleaning the base surface, brushing plain cement slurry, making marker blocks and reinforcement bars, and then laying the leveling layer. The base treatment for terrazzo flooring is the foundation for ensuring the durability of terrazzo. Poor base quality can lead to issues like hollowing in terrazzo.

2. Stripping Grating. The embedding of terrazzo grating strips is crucial, and attention should be given to the cement slurry's adhesion height and horizontal directional angle. The correct method of embedding the grating strips is to slightly exceed half the height of the grating strip, with a 31-degree angle for the horizontal direction.

3. Laying cement aggregate slurry. After the partition strips are adhered, embedded, and cured, clear away the accumulated water and floating sand, and apply a coat of plain cement slurry, brushing and laying the surface cement aggregate slurry simultaneously. During laying, first use a wooden trowel to gently tap and compact the cement aggregate slurry within about 10 cm on both sides of the partition strips to prevent damage to the strips.

4. Polishing Terrazzo. The time for terrazzo to be ground is related to the cement strength and the temperature, so the editors at Shuo Huan Building Materials suggest that the grinding of terrazzo floors should be based on the stone particles remaining stationary and the cement slurry level being roughly even with the stone particles.

5. Polishing of terrazzo flooring. Terrazzo surfaces are processed through polishing to refine the fine-grained finish, achieving the acceptance standards for terrazzo flooring.

Here are the five steps of terrazzo flooring installation shared with you. We hope this will enable you to carry out terrazzo flooring work more quickly and achieve better results.
