Epoxy terrazzo floor , also called epoxy-based terrazzo floor, or organic terrazzo floor . It is suitable for shopping malls, exhibition halls, corridors, high-level entertainment venues, exposition halls, business clubs and other places that require beautiful and wear-resistant floors. A good-quality epoxy terrazzo floor needs to meet three conditions: Firstly, the surface is smooth and flat, without wear lines, blisters, cracks, and aggregates are evenly exposed, and the grid is firm; Secondly, the surface layer slope is designed reasonably and will not appear the situation of running water backflow; Thirdly, is that the heights of the skirting lines are the same, and the thickness of the constructed sample is uniform and there is no hollow. The construction process of epoxy resin terrazzo floor: 1. Basic cleaning In order to prolong the service life of the floor, make the flatness of the base layer meet the standard, and lay a good foundation for the subsequent coating const...

If the cracking of the cement floor is serious, first roughen the floor, and then rinse the floor with a water gun. 1. Construction joints shall not be left in the laying of the cement concrete surface. When the construction gap exceeds the allowable time, the joints should be treated.

This method can play a certain protective role on the new terrazzo surface and delay the speed of natural weathering and abrasion. After a few years, the surface of the terrazzo has been weathered, and the renovation of the terrazzo can be resumed by simply grinding the ground at the price of 25/1 and 30/1 of the construction cost. The reason why cleaning and waxing is not a real stone floor treatment is that there is no real technical key to terrazzo treatment . The reason why the terrazzo is as bright and clear is mainly because a layer of glassy film is formed on the surface of the terrazzo after machining. This kind of ground needs to be completely solidified before wet grinding and polishing . Generally, the ambient temperature is 25 degrees and the humidity is 60% in a well-ventilated weather for...
