Exposed polished recycled glass also available in any colour tile. Imitation stone cast out of concrete & polished to a beautiful shine. Marble-chip, cementitious terrazzo requires three layers of materials. Before this layer sets, terrazzo workers partially embed metal divider strips in the concrete wherever there is to be a joint or change of color in the terrazzo. Today, most of the terrazzo installed is epoxy terrazzo. Epoxy-based terrazzo will lose its color and slightly peel when used outdoors, whereas cement-based terrazzo will not. Recycled aggregates include: glass, porcelain, concrete, and metal. When the terrazzo is thoroughly cured, helpers grind it with a terrazzo grinder, which is somewhat like a floor polisher, only much heavier. Concrete tiles can, for the most part, be installed like other types of tile. (August 2014) Polished concrete is considered a good sustainable design flooring option because it makes use of the materials already present. Most modern buildings are built on a concrete slab; polishing the exposed concrete eliminates the energy and material consumed by applying a floor covering. Polished concrete floors are low-maintenance, as they are more durable and easier to clean than many flooring options. Polished concrete floor installation is categorised into two types: new floors, and retrofit floors. New polished concrete slab New floors require less work resulting in lower costs, but there are a few things to be aware of before a new concrete floor can be polished. The finished surface of the concrete will need to be finished to a high standard to facilitate the polishing process. During the finishing phase any decorative aggregates such as seashells, glass chips or even metal car parts can be dropped into the surface of the concrete. These diamonds are impregnated inside a metal- or resin-bonded segment. The polishing process begins with a 50-grit diamond resin pad instead of a metal segment. Throughout the process a densifier is used to harden the concrete surface, which allows the concrete to be polished. The concrete floor is cut with a variety of diamond abrasive grits, usually, 3-8 depending on the gloss level desired. This polishing can be done wet or dry depending on the site situation. Benefits of dry grinding include easier clean-up since no slurry is created during the process. A high-solids lithium silicate is used on many polished concrete floors. These tiles can be used poolside with a non slip finish.
