Advantages and disadvantages of terrazzo stone flooring
Terrazzo stone is a type of floor decorative brick that is widely seen due to its diverse appearance and various colors. In addition to home decoration, it is also often used in public places such as hospitals and schools. This article mainly summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of terrazzo flooring and its construction methods
Advantages of terrazo stone:
1. High gloss terrazzo with a surface hardness of 6-8 levels.
2. High brightness terrazzo, with a high brightness of over 70 after surface treatment, and dustproof and anti slip marble quality.
3. No cracking, no fear of heavy vehicles rolling, no fear of heavy objects dragging, no shrinkage or deformation.
4. High brightness terrazzo, can be freely spliced with patterns and colors, and can be customized and configured.
5. Non combustible, non flammable, aging resistant, stain resistant, corrosion resistant, odorless, and pollution-free.
6. No dust and high cleanliness; Cleanliness meets the requirements of high cleanliness environments such as pharmaceuticals and chip manufacturing.
7. The decorative dividing strips are horizontal and vertical, and there is no gap between the dividing strips. The connection is dense, and the overall beauty is good.
8. The building performance and mechanical performance are no different from the high-quality terrazzo flooring used in various buildings, meeting the requirements of the national standard GB50209-2002 and the standard requirements of JC507-1993 building terrazzo products.
Disadvantages of terrazo stone:
1. Weight: We also know that terrazzo is a type of concrete product, and the weight of a terrazzo floor is about 5kg. The larger the terrazzo floor, the heavier the weight, and it is very time-consuming and laborious to transport.
2. Easy to weather, corrode, and have a short lifespan: Terrazzo floors have poor corrosion resistance. If used in highly corrosive areas or cleaned with highly corrosive cleaning agents, it can cause serious corrosion to the floor, thus greatly reducing the service life of terrazzo flooring. It could have been used for over a decade, or it could have been only a few years.
3. Not waterproof, strong permeability: There are many gaps in the middle of the terrazzo floor, which can hide the ash layer and pass through water. If there are water stains on the ground, it is easy to penetrate into the ground, and by taking the stains off the ground, it will pollute the terrazzo floor, making it very difficult to clean.
Construction method of terrazzo floor
1. Leveling layer: Apply cement leveling layer. Carefully observe and align up, down, left, and right. You cannot have one end short and one end long. Uneven distribution makes people feel uncoordinated.
2. Grid strip inlay: According to design requirements, ink lines or patterns in the vertical and horizontal directions will pop up, and then be divided with ink lines. After the partition is completed, water and maintain it every half day for two days.
3. Maintenance: After laying the stone slurry, water it for maintenance one day later, and set up warning lines to prevent personnel from stepping on it.
4. Grinding: Before grinding, try grinding to ensure that the stones do not loosen before grinding. Large areas are polished by mechanical polishing, while small areas and corners are polished by hand.
