Physical Specimens |
It is difficult to duplicate exactly a specimen
of Terrazzo in actual work. Marble, being a natural
product, varies in shade. The shade of cement may
also turn out slightly different. The size and
denseness of marble granules are not always uniform.
Note: Minor variations are therefore unavoidable and
must be expected. Also, the formulations of some
standard colors may vary due to the local availability
of certain marble colors.
Specimen Identifications:
|
S - Denotes Standard
Terrazzo using marble chip sizes #1 (1/4”)
and #2 (3/8”) in equal parts in combination
with Portland cement, Gray or White, with or without
color pigments.
TS - Denotes Thin-set Terrazzo using marble chip
sizes #1 (1/4”) and smaller in combination
with Resin or Cement Binders with or without color
pigments.
V - Denotes Venetian Terrazzo using marble chip
sizes #1 (1/4”) through #8 (1-1/8”)
in combination with Portland Cement, Gray or White,
with or without color pigments.
R - Denotes Rustic Terrazzo, a uniformly textured
form of Terrazzo using Marble Chips, Granite, Riverbed
Stone or other aggregates, in combination with
Portland Cement, Gray or White, with or without
color pigments. This system provides the matrix
to be depressed to expose a part of the aggregate.
C - Denotes Conductive type Terrazzo.
P - Denotes Palladiana, which is the utilization
of thin, random fractured slabs of marble with
joints of standard type Terrazzo between each piece
of marble. |
