Granolithic

Granolithic

Granolithic is a concrete product, composed of cement and fine aggregate mortar, the aggregate being granite chippings, which will give the hard wearing surface finish. It will be laid with screed, which is finished by hand trowelling(the traditional method) or 'powerfloated' with an electrical trowel apparatus, to an even and fine finish. Granolithic paving will be suitable in areas which are to receive hard wear although its appearance would not normally be suitable for internal domestic work.It is sometimes known as Grano, or Grano dust, depending on the area.
