🛠️ Process for Laying and Grinding Black Terrazzo Tile Surface

Proper installation is key to achieving the refined, high-performance look that terrazzo is known for. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how black terrazzo tiles are laid and finished for maximum durability and aesthetic appeal:1. Surface Preparation and Protection

• Ensure grid inserts are securely stabilized.
• Begin by sprinkling water for curing over 3–4 days before laying the surface mixture.
• Protect grid inserts from bending or damage throughout the installation process.

2. Laying the Cement and Stone Mixture

Color Application Sequence:

• Start with darker colors first, followed by lighter shades.
• Apply terrazzo to larger areas before borders to maintain uniform color and texture.
• Allow the first layer to set completely before layering additional cement-stone mixtures.
• Avoid mixing multiple colors at once to prevent contamination.

Mixing Instructions:

• Accurately measure all materials.
• Dry mix cement and pigment, then add stone chips and mix evenly.
• Add water last for a consistent 60mm mix.
• When using mixed stone sizes or colors, pre-mix thoroughly.

Bonding Layer Application:

• Apply a cement slurry bonding layer (same color as surface) with a 0.4–0.5 water-cement ratio before laying the surface.
• Spread the mixture 1–2mm higher than grid inserts.
• Roll, compact, and smooth with a trowel.
• If stone exposure is insufficient, manually embed more stone chips.

Alternative Method – Dry Stone Sprinkling:

• After leveling, sprinkle washed dry stones over 1/3 to 1/4 of the surface.
• Pat dry stones into the slurry, compact with a roller, and finish with a smooth trowel.
• Ensures strong bonding and a visually rich terrazzo surface.

3. Curing and Grinding Process

Surface Curing:

• No foot traffic immediately after laying.
• Begin watering after 24 hours.
• Standard curing time: 5–7 days, extended to 10+ days in colder climates.

Trial Grinding:

• Conduct a trial grind to verify stone adhesion.
• Begin full grinding only after approval.
• For larger projects, wait at least 15 days before grinding begins.
