• Composition and production

  Portland cement, marble powder, inorganic pigments, sand, cement additives recycled marble chips and pieces, glass. These components are mixed and moulded. The tiles dry and harden naturally during 3 to 5 weeks. The last stage is a surface polishing, removing 2 to 4 mm to unveil the beauty of decorative aggregates.

• Applicable standards

  MOSAIC terrazzo tiles are not standardised and do not fall under any category of applicable norms. This is due to the production method as each tile is individually handcrafted. The laboratory tests have been carried out on 40x40x2cm Terrazzo Marble 10 tiles using various protocols and test methods for terrazzo or cement/concrete slabs. The results of these tests are applicable only to the tested tile.

• Dimensions, surface flatness, and packaging

  Difference between 4 sides of a tile: + / - 0,5mm
  Thickness variation: + / - 1mm
  The Terrazzo tiles and slabs are packed using cardboard and wood and placed on a sealed pallet with protective corners.

• Flexural strength and breaking load
  (UNE-EN 13748-1)

  LOMECO laboratories, 2019
  Flexural Modulus, average value (MPa): 6,1
  Meets flexural strength (breakage) requirements
  Breaking load average value (kN): 2,6
  The tiles should be laid on a concrete slab or a rigid base.
