Reconstruction of the terrazzo surface in the exterior

Abstract

The article deals with terrazzo surface that is done in the exterior and which shows defects and faults after execution. It was an entry portal of an unnamed institution where the placed surface began to show flaws more or less immediately after laying. The article simply provides a research of the problem, deals with the proposed procedure and presents the results of the technology supervision. Currently, after the second execution, the surface again shows defects and the way of their remedy will be addressed. The article also presents the basic aspects that need to be respected and not neglected when this type of surface is realized. Terrazzo is primarily an interior material (in our conditions), but it is also possible to make it in the exterior – it is a special kind of concrete mixture. The article tries to summarize the issue and provide basic information about the problem and its solutions.The article deals with terrazzo surface that is done in the exterior and which shows defects and faults after execution.
