Terrazzo flooring:

Terrazzo flooring is a special type of cement concrete flooring. This special type of cement concrete is prepared by mixing of marble chips or other materials with cement or coloured cement. In this case, marble chips or other decorative materials are used as an aggregate, and white cement or coloured cement used as a binder.

Generally, the ratio of cement and marble chips is 1:3. Although, this ratio depends upon the size of marble chips, is used.

This special type of concrete is known as terrazzo cement concrete. The floor in which topping or finishing is made of terrazzo cement concrete is known as terrazzo flooring. The thickness of the Terrazzo flooring varies between 8 mm to 12 mm.
