cement floor laid in small pieces with gap in between to allow room for expansion of the cement floors.

Explanation:

  • Cement floors like all the other substances expand in summers and contract in winter.
  • In they are placed very close to each other leaving no gaps then they expand and may damage and break down the adjacent cement slabs.
  • For this reason when the cement slab are laid in winter small pieces with gaps are left so as to give space for their expansion in summer season.
