Question

write the method of laying of Terrazzo flooring​

Answer 1

Terrazzo is concrete containing marble chipping as an aggregate. Terrazzo mixture is made up of cement and marble chips in different proportions. First of all, a concrete bed is formed as a base course which is covered by tarred paper. Over this, a layer of rich mortar is spread. This mortar bedding is struck off about 1 to 1.5 cm below the finished floor level. After that metal dividing strips of 20 gauges in thickness are inserted into the mortar base and the terrazzo covering. After the mortar base has hardened the terrazzo mixture is placed at the top level of the dividing strips. After the terrazzo mixture has hardened the surface is ground by hand or by a machine. After cutting we use waxing for glazing floor.

The Method Of Laying Of Terrazzo Flooring

• The core concrete on which the tiles are to be laid shall be cleaned, damped, and wiped.
• The components shall be completely stirred by volume in dusty form, which shall be available from hard lumps.
• The consistency of the bedding mortar shall be 30 mm, and the density at any spot shall not be less than 10 mm.
• The cement mortar shall be circulated, tamped, and rectified to sufficient levels, and the tiles shall be laid instantly after laying of mortar.
• The tiles which are to be laid shall be rinsed clean and shall be stabilized in this grout one by one, each tile being gently dabbed with a wooden or rubber hammer till it is appropriately lain down in the mortar, and is in level with the adjoining or adjacent tiles.
• At the spots where entire tiles or half tiles can not be fixed, tiles shall be cut or sawn from entire tiles to the needed size, and their perimeters rubbed smooth to assure a right and true joint.
• Once the tiles have been laid, surplus cement grout that may have leak of the joints shall be cleaned off.
