🔹 Terrazzo External Tiles Surface – Composition and Process Control
1. Composition Materials
Proper material selection and handling are essential to achieving a consistent, high-quality terrazzo finish:
(1) Cement
Types:
- Use Portland cement, ordinary Portland cement, or slag Portland cement (strength grade ≥ 32.5) for natural or dark-colored terrazzo.
- Use white cement for light-colored terrazzo surfaces.
Restrictions: Do not use fly ash Portland cement.
Batch Consistency: Ensure the same cement batch is used for uniform coloration.
Quality Assurance: All cement must include factory certification or valid test data.
(2) Granules
Source: Produced from grindable, hard rock types such as dolomite or marble.
Properties: Sharp-edged, clean, and debris-free granules are essential.
Size: Typically 4–14mm, unless otherwise specified.
Storage Best Practices:
- Separate storage for different types, sizes, and colors.
- Store on clean mats or elevated surfaces to avoid contamination.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly before use.
(3) Pigments
- Type: Only mineral pigments that are lightfast and alkali-resistant should be used.
- Restrictions: Acidic pigments are prohibited due to potential surface degradation.
- Mixing Ratio: Generally 3%–6% of cement weight, as verified through testing.
- Note: Excess pigment may weaken the final surface strength.
- Batch Consistency: Maintain consistent color by using the same pigment batch from the same supplier.
(4) Grid Strips
- Materials: Options include copper, colored plastic, or glass strips.
- Copper Bars: Must be precisely straightened before installation.
- Specifications (Refer to Table 18-26):
| Type | Copper Bar (mm) | Glass Bar (mm) |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions | 1200 × surface layer thickness × 1–2 | Unlimited × surface layer thickness × 3 |
