Overview

Terrazzo tile

It can be used wherever hard flooring is laid in buildings such as homes, office buildings, schools, parks, gardens, bus stations, pedestrian ways and factories.

It resists wear and impact; despite its glossy look it is non-slip, absorbs very little water, does not hold dust, is easy to clean, withstands vibration and gives a homogeneous look in all large-area uses.

  • Our floor tiles are stacked fully automatically, without hand contact, on wooden pallets suited to truck transport, with polystyrene reinforcement between layers to prevent breakage, and are shipped wrapped in polyester straps.
  • We recommend using a forklift when unloading the vehicle on site. Unloading with a crane may damage the floor tiles.
  • Pallets must be set down on level ground. Do not stack pallets on top of each other.

Installation recommendations

Recommendations for installing floor tiles.

  1. The surface to be covered must be cleaned of all dust and dirt.

  2. Laying mortar: prepare a mix of 4 parts sharp sand up to 6–7 mm with 1 part cement. Mark out an area you can lay within 15 minutes at most.

  3. Spread the mortar with a trowel so that no voids remain, and sprinkle a little water on the surface.

  4. Place the tile and level it to the string line using a rubber mallet. Use a plastic mallet for installation.

  5. Keep laying with a joint gap of at least 2 mm and at most 6 mm; use plastic joint spacers that match the joint width.

  6. Make sure no mortar is left on the surface. Laying mortar thickness must be at least 15 mm and at most 30 mm; where it exceeds 3 cm, lay a cushion of lower-dosage mortar before the laying mortar.

  7. Grouting should be done at least 3 days later. Prepare the grout by adding 5 kg of fine marble powder and, if needed, pigment to 1 bag of cement, according to the colour of the tile. Mix this dry blend with water thoroughly to a thick buttermilk consistency and spread it on the clean surface.

  8. To fill the joints well, work the wet grout across the surface in different directions with a rubber squeegee. Once sure the joints are full, sprinkle the dry grout mix and clean the remaining grout off the surface thoroughly with dry cloth such as sacking; if the surface is not cleaned well, the gloss of the tiles will be dulled.

  9. A day after grouting, wet the surface to prevent the grout from cracking.

  10. Soft soap is enough for cleaning. Never use chlorine-based or acidic cleaning products.
