The two main installation methods for granolithic flooring are "monolithic" and "precast." In monolithic installation, workers pour the aggregate mix into a slab defining the desired floor area, using a measure of one part marble chips to three parts cement. This mix must stand for 48 hours before polishing.

How is granolithic floor finish done?

Granolithic screed is a floor topping which is placed on to an existing hard base (usually a concrete slab), to form a durable top surface. It comprises hard aggregates, cement and sand which are blended with water and sometimes polymers to make a workable mix.

What is the use of granolithic finish and how it is made?

It is generally used as flooring, or as paving (such as for sidewalks). It has a similar appearance to concrete, and is used to provide a durable surface where texture and appearance are usually not important (such as outdoor pathways or factory floors). It is commonly laid as a screed.
