Construction Program for Black Limestone 600 x 600 Floor Surface Layer Paving

1. Construction Procedure

The construction of the natural black limestone 600 x 600 floor surface layer follows these steps:

1. Cleaning the base layer

2. Elastic line marking

3.Installing standard blocks

4. Paving

5.Filling joints

6.Curing

2. Key Construction Points

(1) Cleaning the Base Layer

• The bottom layer of ash must be plastered.
• The surface should be level and clean.
• The process is similar to cement mortar flooring.

(2) Elastic Line Marking

• Mark the center line on the surrounding walls.
• Pop up the cross center line on the ground.
• Stake out block positions including reserved seam spaces.
• For laying reference, hang lines along the broken line to mark the surface layer.
• Establish ground surface elevation using the horizontal datum line on the wall.

(3) Placing the Standard Block

• The standard block serves as the basis for horizontal standards and seam alignment.
• It is placed at the intersection of the cross lines.
• If the cross-center line is the center seam, place two standard blocks diagonally at the intersection.
• Ensure the standard block is aligned using a level and square ruler.

(4) Paving Process

Paving is the main step in constructing black limestone 600 x 600 flooring.

 Steps for Laying Slabs:

1. Pre-treatment

• Soak the slabs in water to moisten them.
• Wipe off floating dust from the back before installation.

2. Seam Width

• Black limestone 600 x 600 slab floor: 1mm seam width.
• Terrazzo slab floor: 2mm seam width.

3. Bonding Layer

• 15-20mm thick dry hard cement mortar is used for bonding.
• The base layer should be brushed with cement mortar before applying the bonding layer.
• Boards should be placed with proper mixing.
• The recommended laying approach:
• • • Four-reverse footwork method, starting from the center of the room.
    • If pillars exist, lay around the pillars first before expanding outward.
    • Alternatively, lay a row of slabs along the wall first and use it as a standard for alignment.

4. Placement & Adjustments

• All four corners of the slab should touch down at the same time.
• Use a leather or wooden hammer to ensure even leveling.
• Adjust the seams properly.
• Check the bonding layer to ensure it is flat and dense during installation.

(5) Grouting

• After laying the slabs:
  • Apply plain cement slurry to ⅔ of the height of the joints.
  • Use cement matching the panel’s color for finishing.
