Comparison between cast-in-place inorganic terrazzo and prefabricated board inorganic terrazzo
Nowadays, inorganic terrazzo is widely used by the public. There are two construction methods for inorganic Terrazzo: cast-in-place construction and precast slab. Both of them have their own advantages. Now let's briefly introduce which is better, cast-in-place inorganic Terrazzo or prefabricated inorganic Terrazzo.
First, compare the construction methods of the two. Cast in situ inorganic Terrazzo needs materials and aggregates mixed together and poured on the concrete floor, then trowelled according to the elevation requirements, and finally ground and polished to make it a whole decorative floor. In contrast, the prefabricated slab inorganic Terrazzo is much simpler, and only needs to be pulled to the site for installation.
For large-scale commercial projects, the performance of cast-in-place inorganic Terrazzo is better than that of prefabricated inorganic Terrazzo, because cast-in-place is characterized by overall seamless, outstanding design capability, and no restrictions on various patterns and colors. The construction area is also wider, such as walls, countertops, stairs, outdoor flower beds, etc., which can be made with thinner and lighter thickness, making it more suitable for high-rise buildings.
The thickness of prefabricated inorganic terrazzo is usually 2 centimeters, and although the patterns can also be spliced, they cannot achieve the seamless effect of cast-in-place. And its biggest drawback is severe wear and tear, which can occur during transportation, unloading, and construction. For example, the wear and tear of large boards can even reach 30%, and these costs need to be borne by the owner.
Regarding the construction period, in general, inorganic terrazzo manufacturers will produce it in advance and store it in the warehouse. If necessary, it can be directly transported to the site. The construction method is also simple. After processing the base layer, it can be laid like marble. But if it is necessary to customize special specifications and patterns, the production cycle will be extended to several months.
The construction period of cast-in-place inorganic terrazzo is relatively stable, and the length of time mainly depends on the number of people, so the price of cast-in-place inorganic terrazzo may be very high in some cases.
The above is a comparison between cast-in-place inorganic Terrazzo and prefabricated slab inorganic Terrazzo. Everyone can choose the most suitable method for construction!
