Granolithic Flooring - The Construction Civil

Granolithic flooring is a final coat used over cement concrete floors to make the surface resistant to wear and tear from abrasion. It is made of cement, sand, and aggregates like basalt, limestone, or quartzite. The aggregates must be well graded from 13mm to sieve size 240. The mix is usually 1:1:2 or 1:1:3 cement to sand to aggregate. The granolithic concrete is laid before the base concrete sets and must be at least 1/2 inch thick. It is then tamped, floated, and troweled smooth.

flooring, the grading of aggregates plyas an imporatnt role. The coarse aggregates are well graded from 13 mm.
to I.S Sieve No. 240. The granolithic flooring concrete mix is generally in the proportion of 1:1:2 or 1:1:3. The
