Advantages and disadvantages of Terrazzo stone ？
Advantages of Terrazzo stone :
1) High grade Terrazzo (also known as commercial Terrazzo) surface finish Terrazzo (also known as terrazzo) is a product that is ground and polished on the surface after mixing crushed stone, glass, quartz stone and other aggregates into cement binder to make concrete products. The Terrazzo made of cement bonding material is called inorganic terrazzo, and the Terrazzo made of epoxy bonding material is also called epoxy terrazzo or organic terrazzo. According to the construction process, Terrazzo can be divided into Terrazzo and prefabricated slab Terrazzo floor.
The traditional Terrazzo has a huge market in China because of its unique advantages such as low cost, free color mixing and patchwork, convenient construction, etc. It has been highlighted in various urban and rural areas throughout the country, and its high brightness has reached more than 70~90 degrees, and its dust-proof and anti-skid properties have reached marble quality.
(2) Wear resistance Terrazzo, surface hardness can reach 6-8.
(3) The Terrazzo can be made on the spot or prefabricated, and the patterns and colors can be spliced at will, and the colors can be customized.
(4) The new Terrazzo does not crack, is not afraid of heavy vehicle rolling, is not afraid of heavy drag, and does not shrink and deform.
(5) No dust and high cleanliness; Cleanliness meets the requirements of high cleanliness environments such as pharmaceuticals and chip manufacturing.
(6) Inorganic Terrazzo is incombustible, non ignited, aging resistant, stain resistant, corrosion resistant, odor free and no pollution.
(7) The color is bright and clean. If you need to improve the brightness, apply floor wax or crystallization (which does not affect its anti-static performance), harden and wear-resistant water mill stones, and can maintain long-term brilliance without applying wax.
(8) The cast-in-place Terrazzo decorative grid strips are horizontal and vertical, and there is no gap between the grid strips. The connection is dense, and the overall beauty is good; Commercial Terrazzo can be designed arbitrarily to achieve beautiful decorative effect.
Disadvantages of Terrazzo:
1. The weight is large. As the powder is a concrete product, the weight of a Terrazzo is about 5 kg. Therefore, the larger the Terrazzo is, the heavier it will be. It will be very troublesome during transportation.
2. The corrosion resistance of Terrazzo floor is not good. If it is a highly corrosive place or the floor is cleaned with corrosive detergent, it may cause damage to it, and the service life will be shorter.
3. The waterproof effect is poor and the permeability is strong. There are many pores in the middle of Terrazzo floor. They can hide the ash layer and let water pass through. If there are water stains on the ground, they will penetrate into the interior, and it is very troublesome to clean with stains.
However, with the development of the times, the production technology of Terrazzo is getting higher and higher. The shortcomings of the new Terrazzo have been optimized and upgraded, so we can use it with confidence.
