Granolithic Floor is a marble type mosaic floor finish that uses Portland cement as base materials. It has a characteristics of durability, beauty and variety installed in either by:
a. Monolithic or cast in place - means massively, solid, single and uniform floor finish cast in place. A mixture of cement and marble chips to a proportion of 1:3 is casted on top of a rough floor slab surface to an average thickness of 1.25 cm. the floor is then grinded after it has attained sufficient hardness to withstand abrasion and vibration caused by the grinding machine. Grinding of the floor surface should not be allowed earlier than 48 hours after casting.
b. Pre-cast - refers to granolithic tiles in various dimensions hydraulically pressed and molded in a factory. The distinctive difference between the cast in place and the pre-cast installation is the manner and place of casting or molding. The former being installed on site and the latter at the factory site. Thus, pre-cast is installed in a tile form while cast in place is installed in a fresh mixed form.
