Terrazzo tiles

• Possibility of revitalization and renovation at good cost
• Long-term service life
• High point load, high toughness, high surface strength
• Against concrete a uniform and pre-given look
• Easy laying, easy preparation for laying
• Easy maintenance
• A flat floor - joints are flush with the pavement (no knocking of trolleys´ wheels)

• Concrete tiles - the basic is slightly cheaper
• Can not be used in chemical plants (react with acids)
• Up to 40x40 (60 x 60)
• Heavy to transport and handling - a disadvantage on excellent technical parameters

Kind

Sintered ceramic tiles

• Possible use also in chemical plants
• For a surcharge, it can be large-format (up to 80 x 80) - a really high price, and special laying must be - high cost
• For the same load on the floor as the terrazzo must be sintered ceramic floor tiles about 14 mm thick and more
• High strength, high abrasion resistance, high operational stress

• About 40% more expensive than terrazzo
• Limited color design
• Production option in large series only
• Costly repairs lying areas
• Beveled tiles edges - joints are lower than floor area - trolley wheels knocking
• Special instalation

Armored concrete floor
