Terrazzo flooring material is a widely used floor and wall material in modern architecture, not only because of its good performance, but also because of its superior aesthetic design. It provides significant assistance in creating various spatial styles.
According to the construction method, terrazzo can be divided into prefabricated slab (floor tile) terrazzo and cast-in-place terrazzo. So, is it better to use terrazzo floor tiles or cast-in-place terrazzo flooring? Before answering this question again, let's take a look at the advantages of terrazzo?
Advantages of terrazzo:
1.The surface brightness of the highlighted terrazzo reaches over 70 degrees, with a dustproof and anti slip effect comparable to marble
- After hardening treatment, the surface hardness can reach 6-8 levels, and it is not afraid of heavy vehicles rolling or heavy objects dragging
- Beautiful, with strong design sense, can be freely spliced, and the patterns and colors can be customized
- Non dusting, high cleanliness, meeting the requirements of a highly clean environment
- No cracking, no shrinkage deformation, no combustion
- Meets environmental requirements, has no odor, pollution, and radiation
- Long service life, resistant to aging and dirt damage
Let's talk about the two construction methods of terrazzo again, the difference between terrazzo floor tiles and cast-in-place terrazzo:
1、 Different processes
Cast-in-place terrazzo: on-site mixed pouring, integrated molding.
Terrazzo floor tiles: Factory produced in batches, with the same batch of specifications, sizes, colors, and uniformity.
- Different splicing areas
Cast-in-place terrazzo: It can achieve seamless and smooth transition on a large area.
Terrazzo floor tiles: Prefabricated blocks, laid on-site, with flexible board specifications and convenient laying.
- Different overall design
Cast-in-place terrazzo: The overall and local patterns can be customized, and the colors can be customized.
Terrazzo floor tiles: Colors and aggregates can be customized, but the overall pattern customization space is not as large as the cast-in-place customization space.
Based on the above viewpoints, both cast-in-place and prefabricated panels have their own strengths and weaknesses, and both can showcase the unique spatial style of terrazzo; Cast-in-place terrazzo has more advantages in expressing the overall design concept of the space, while terrazzo floor tiles are more efficient in construction. Editor Apler suggests that everyone has their own opinions, consider according to their own needs, and choose the right one for the better.
