Process for Laying and Grinding Black Terrazzo Tile Surface

1. Surface Preparation and Protection

1. After grid inserts are stabilized, sprinkle water for curing (3-4 days) before laying the cement and stone mixture.
2. Protect grid inserts from bending and damage before laying the surface mixture.

2. Laying the Cement and Stone Mixture

3. Order of Color Application:

   • Apply darker colors first, followed by lighter colors.
   • Lay larger surface areas before borders.
   • Ensure the first layer sets completely before adding the next cement-stone mixture.
   • Never mix multiple colors simultaneously to avoid color contamination.

4. Mixing Cement and Stone Particles:

   • Accurate measurement of materials is crucial.
   • Dry mix cement and pigment, then add stone particles and mix evenly.
   • Water is added last for uniform consistency (60mm consistency).
   • When using various stone colors and sizes, they must be thoroughly mixed before use.

5. Applying the Bonding Layer:

   • Before laying the surface layer, apply a cement slurry bonding layer (same color as the surface) with a water-cement ratio of 0.4-0.5.
   • The black terrazzo tile mixture should be laid 1-2mm higher than the grid inserts.
   • Spread evenly, compact with a roller, and smooth with a trowel.
   • If insufficient stone exposure, manually add stones to areas with excess grout.

6. Alternative Method (Dry Stone Sprinkling):

   • After leveling the mixture, evenly spread washed dry stone over the surface (1/3 to 1/4 of the area).
   • Pat the dry stone particles into the slurry with an iron trowel, then compact with a roller.
   • Ensure complete integration of dry stones into the cement slurry for a smooth, compacted, and visually appealing finish.

3. Curing and Grinding Process

7. Curing the Surface Layer:

   • No walking allowed immediately after paving.
   • Start watering after 1 day.
   • Curing time: 5-7 days at room temperature (minimum 10 days in winter).

8. Trial Grinding:

   • Perform trial grinding before full grinding to ensure stone particles remain firm.
   • Grinding begins only after passing the inspection.
   • Larger stone surfaces require at least 15 days before grinding.
