How do they match: Terrazzo Workers and Finishers

  • Chip, scrape, or grind high spots, ridges, or rough projections to finish concrete, using pneumatic chisel, hand chisel, or other hand tools.
  • Fill slight grinding depressions with matching grout material and hand-trowel for a smooth, uniform surface.
  • Grind curved surfaces or areas inaccessible to surfacing machine, such as stairways or cabinet tops, with portable hand grinder.
  • Position and secure moisture membrane and wire mesh in preparation for pouring base materials for terrazzo installation.
  • Spread, level, or smooth concrete or terrazzo mixtures to form bases or finished surfaces, using rakes, shovels, hand or power trowels, hand or power screeds, or floats.
  • Wet surface to prepare for bonding, fill holes and cracks with grout or slurry, and smooth with a trowel.

  • Prepare surfaces for finishing.
  • Clean surfaces in preparation for work activities.
