The practice of terrazzo

Terrazzo (also known as millstone) is a product made by mixing aggregate such as crushed stone, glass and Shi Ying with cement binder, and then grinding and polishing.

The terrazzo made of cement binder is called inorganic grindstone, and the terrazzo made of epoxy binder is also called epoxy grindstone or organic grindstone. According to the construction process, terrazzo is poured on site and the terrazzo floor is prefabricated.

Traditional terrazzo, with its unique advantages such as low cost, free color matching and convenient construction, has a huge market in China and is used in various buildings in urban and rural areas of China, with a construction area of one billion square meters.

Extended data:

Polishing is an important process for terrazzo effect. The main purpose of grinding is to grind off the cement slurry on the surface and smooth the ballast on the surface.

There are two kinds of polishing: mechanical polishing and manual polishing. If the construction conditions permit, try to use mechanical grinding as much as possible, which not only has fast work efficiency, but also reduces the labor intensity. If a grinder is used for polishing, a grinding tool is usually used. The structure of abrasive tools generally includes abrasive particles, binders, pores and fillers.
