Ensuring the longevity and pristine appearance of terrazzo concrete floor tiles requires diligent protection during and after installation. Below are key guidelines to safeguard your finished terrazzo surfaces:

5. Finished Product Protection

5.1 Protection of Installed Surfaces

• Immediate Action: After installing terrazzo concrete floor tiles, polished granite, prefabricated terrazzo columns, and door and window covers, promptly protect all external corners of the surface layers using wooden boards.
• Mortar Residue Removal: Clean any mortar remaining on door and window frames and sashes promptly. For aluminum alloy frames and sashes, apply a protective film in advance to prevent contamination.

5.2 Wall Surface Protection

• Post-Installation Measures: Once walls are adorned with terrazzo concrete floor tiles, polished granite, or prefabricated terrazzo tiles, immediately cover them with adhesive or plastic films to prevent pollution and damage.

5.3 Bonding Layer Care

• Precautions Before Setting: Protect the veneer’s bonding layer from air drying, direct sunlight, water exposure, impacts, and vibrations until it has fully set to ensure optimal adhesion and durability.

5.4 Care During Scaffold Removal

• Gentle Handling: Exercise caution to avoid striking or damaging the walls when dismantling scaffolding or other temporary structures.

6. Quality Issues to Monitor

6.1 Uneven Joints and Excessive Height Differences

1. Causes:

• Inadequate preparation of the base layer.
• Poor selection of board quality.
• Neglecting trial assembly before final installation.
• Incorrect construction techniques.
• Overfilling during grouting.

• Consequences: These factors can lead to misalignment or displacement of stone slabs, resulting in uneven joints and significant height discrepancies.

6.2 Hollowing (Voids Under Tiles)

1. Causes:

• Insufficient or improperly mixed grout.
• Grout consistency issues:

   

  1. If too thick, the mortar cannot flow properly, leading to voids, especially around steel mesh.

  2. If too thin, it may leak or form voids due to water evaporation.

  3. Excessive force during final plaster cleaning, causing plate vibration and hollowing.

  4. Inadequate curing, leading to premature dehydration and hollowing.

6.3 Cracking

• Causes:

  1. Use of low-quality terrazzo tiles with multiple color patterns.

  2. Improper installation positioning.

  3. Insufficient gaps left at the top and bottom during wall installation.

  4. Exposure to various external forces.
• Consequences: These factors can lead to irregular cracks, especially along dark seams of color patterns or other hidden weaknesses.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can maintain the integrity and aesthetic appeal of your terrazzo installations, ensuring they remain durable and visually pleasing for years to come.
