Terrazzo Epoxy Resin Floor Installation
Terrazzo flooring is a beautiful and durable option for any home or business. One way to install terrazzo is using epoxy resins instead of cement. In this article, we will discuss the process of installing terrazzo flooring using epoxy resins in a way that we offer a Terrazzo Epoxy Resin Floor Installation service .
To start the installation process, the concrete subfloor is poured and allowed to cure for several days. Once the subfloor is fully cured, the installer will prepare the surface by grinding it down to create a smooth and level surface. This grinding process is necessary to ensure that the terrazzo mixture will adhere properly to the subfloor.
Next, the installer will mix together a batch of epoxy resin and hardener. The hardener is necessary to activate the epoxy and make it harden. Once the epoxy and hardener are mixed together, the installer will add in the marble and granite chips. These chips are different colors and sizes, which creates a beautiful and unique pattern once the terrazzo is finished.
The mixture is then poured onto the subfloor and spread out evenly using a trowel. Unlike traditional terrazzo installation, epoxy terrazzo can be poured in thicker layers, which allows for more creativity in the design. The epoxy mixture is also self-leveling, which means that it will naturally level out as it dries.
Once the epoxy terrazzo mixture has been spread out, the installer will use a roller or a hand-held tool to press the chips down into the mixture. This helps to ensure that the chips are fully embedded in the epoxy and will not come loose over time. After the chips have been embedded, the installer will wait for the terrazzo to dry and harden.
After the epoxy terrazzo has dried and hardened, the installer will begin the grinding process. This involves using a floor grinder with diamond blades to smooth out the surface of the terrazzo and remove any excess epoxy or chips that may be protruding. This process is repeated several times until the surface of the terrazzo is completely smooth and level.
Once the grinding process is complete, the installer will use a series of progressively finer grits of diamond polishing pads to bring out the shine in the terrazzo. This polishing process creates a smooth and shiny surface that is resistant to wear and tear.
Finally, the installer will seal the epoxy terrazzo to protect it from stains and damage. Epoxy terrazzo can be sealed with a clear epoxy resin or a topical sealer. This sealer helps to protect the surface from spills and stains, and also helps to maintain the shine of the terrazzo over time.
In conclusion, terrazzo installation using epoxy resins is a great option for those who want a unique and creative flooring option. The process involves mixing the epoxy with hardener, pouring the mixture onto a concrete subfloor, embedding the chips, grinding and polishing the surface, and then sealing the terrazzo to protect it from damage. The result is a stunning and durable flooring surface that can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
