does anyone know what terrazzo is grouted with? Resin or normal floor grout

[tilelover]

I was wondering what terrazzo tiles are grouted with?
Is it normal floor grout
or
is it a resin epoxy grout..

Can anyone tell me?
If its resin where can i get some?

[Dave]

It is deffo resin but not sure on suppliers.......

Epoxy resin. No idea where to get the stuff in Britain.

Using terrazzo tiles is one thing, but I want to learn how to mold terrazzo floors on-site

It's on my to-do list

with that i gather it comes out white and stays white?
How do they in asda stores would they get that yellow colour they have. It has me baffled.
I cannot find it anywhere.. All i can find it white and grey.
This is why the pros terrazzo fitters get the big bucks

Hi
terrazzo is normally grouted with a mix of white cement and a pigment colour dye
if the terrazzo is to be polished the grouting will polish in with the tile and blend in with the stone tile to look as if there is no joints.
However if you are laying the stones and grouting as normal. like ceramics you can use any good quality grout ie: ardex c2 is ok.

I use resins to repair and regrout in most cases. The resins come in 4 base colours and can be coloured accordingly. Modern terrazzo floors are usually installed with a flexible grout like Mapei Ultracolour Terrazzo needs grinding and honing with diamonds.

Im tiling over a terrazzo floor. Was a bit worried about the addy adhering properly but advised to use flexi Ardex S38 and a admix as well! Really gooey and sticky. I keyed the floor first as well with my concrete saw, just to be sure!

Worked with an Italian doing terrazzo once and we used white cement to grout.
