Sand Cushion Terrazzo


Description:
A cement matrix topping underbed with wire reinforcing, isolation sheet, and sand layer system for interior floor use. This is the best cement system.

ADVANTAGES:
Due to the underbed’s depth, wire mesh reinforcing, isolation sheeting, and sand layer, it will absorb minor substrate defects and prevent mirroring to the surface.

THICKNESS: 2.5″ to 3″ including a .5″ terrazzo topping.

WEIGHT: 25-30 lbs. PSF.

DIVIDERS:
The position of divider strips is essential to performance, serving a dual function: a control for anticipated contraction and an aesthetic enhancement in separating colors. 5 feet or less on centers. Architects should design structural inset expansion plates between areas where major movement is anticipated.
