With the rise of the retro trend and technological advancements, terrazzo has resurfaced as a decorative material in people's minds, but it no longer has that gruff appearance; it is now truly stylish!
What is terrazzo, and how does it differ from other flooring materials?
After coagulation, broken stone, glass, quartzite, and other materials are incorporated into the cement bonding substance, and then ground and polished.
Variety of kinds, vibrant colors, unique specs, custom molding, and random splicing are just a few of the features.
High hardness, wear resistance, waterproof and stain resistance, anti-aging characteristics, and a long service life
Non-toxic and non-polluting inorganic materials with no odor volatilization, making them healthful, safe, and environmentally beneficial.
Then there's the question of how to build terrazzo.
There are three ways to lay terrazzo if you are drawn to it and want to bring it into your home.
1 Terrazzo pouring on-site
Purchase of raw materials, production on-site, and construction on-site. With adjustability and customisation, the terrazzo color and pattern may be guaranteed. However, in situ construction is more difficult because the space is limited, and labor expenses are higher.
2 Terrazzo sheet tiles, prefabricated
This prefabricated terrazzo plate may be directly laid in the ground or on a wall, making it convenient and quick to use. It can also be used to build a small house. However, the color aspect can only be seen in the final output.
3 Terrazzo tiles that look like the real thing.
In fact, there is a terrazzo tile pattern, technology is more developed, construction is also more simple, more cost-effective, and some terrazzo texture is sacrificed.
The third point to consider is how to keep the terrazzo in good condition.
Using a professional cleaning product, sanitize the area.
Because terrazzo is made up of a range of components, particularly minerals, it is susceptible to corrosion and rust in a humid climate, so you can purchase a professional terrazzo cleaning agent and use it to brush clean the ground once a month to once a month.
a surface on which to apply a coat of hardener for sealing
The most effective method is to apply a layer of sealing curing agent to the terrazzo surface. The curing agent increases the hardness of the terrazzo, improves wear resistance, strengthens the capacity to resist penetration, and improves gloss.
