An exclusive product is expected here, which is not possible with a simple construction site screed. a finished design floor must be absolutely uniform and have a perfect wall connection.

On the one hand, creating an exposed screed surface takes considerably more time. The floor is laid, sanded and finally sealed. Good craftsmanship has its price, which is of course many times higher. On the other hand, the materials used to create exposed screed surfaces cannot necessarily be compared with those used for a simple screed subfloor. For example, gravel with a grain size that starts at less than one millimeter and ends at around 8 mm is used for the usual cement screed. It should be clear that with such widely varying gravel, the result is not a visually uniform surface. Consequently, a second layer is necessary for an even surface.       <\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether the subfloor and the visible surface are laid in one or two separate work steps &#8211; the combination of material, work and drying time always results in significantly higher costs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c57c56e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c57c56e\" data-element_type=\"container\" id=\"estrichleger\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[],&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d590dee elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d590dee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Should I therefore refrain from having a screed layer install a top floor?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3eb472b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3eb472b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We think so: <strong>No!<\/strong> After all, how pleasant is it to get everything from screed to the finished flooring system from a single source?

Here, the terrazzo flooring known since antiquity is combined with modern technology to create a timeless, beautifully polished floor.

One of the reasons for this is that they are much more flexible and easier to work with than traditionally produced terrazzo. Qubo\u00ae Terrazzo uses new binding agents that set more quickly. This results in a significant time saving of up to six weeks compared to conventional terrazzo floors. It is also in no way inferior to conventional terrazzo in terms of abrasion resistance and load-bearing capacity.      <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-155922a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"155922a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25343bf elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"25343bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-58648\" alt=\"Ortsterrazzo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Ortsterrazzo-e1631105775320.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">An old, traditionally produced local terrazzo with mosaic decoration<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d80bdf6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d80bdf6\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7170023 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"7170023\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b96f9b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9b96f9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-58649\" alt=\"Grinding terrazzo\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.quarzkiesboden.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Terrazzo-schleifen.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Here a <b>Qubo\u00ae Terrazzo<\/b> is ground in a garage <\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7e8d46 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f7e8d46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a81cbca elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget-tablet__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a81cbca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The lasting visibility of the small stones after sanding is the deliberately intended look of seamless Terrazzi.

As with a classic stone carpet, quartz gravel and binder are mixed together, applied as a smoothing compound with a trowel and compacted. Unlike stone carpets, however, much finer gravel is used here. Different grading curves between 0.4 and 2 mm not only give the mortar floor a look similar to screed, but also its exceptional load-bearing capacity and resistance. The integrated pore seal and the fine surface structure make the mortar floor particularly easy to clean. Of course, it is also suitable for use on underfloor heating.     <\/p>\n<p>Visually, the same freedom applies here as with stone carpets: the simple concrete look is just as possible as the scattering of fine colored quartz and the combination of bright colors. The result is a much more even surface than a normal cement screed &#8211; thanks to the fine, even grain size. <\/p>\n<p>With our alternatives to exposed screed, you are opting for quality and durability in every case and also ensuring &#8230;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8c75483 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8c75483\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>&#8230; for a strong appearance!<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A good floor needs a stable foundation.
