It is a concrete flooring with a different type of floor finish called granolithic. Granolithic finish is a concrete made of special selected aggregate. The thickness of layer varies from 1.25 to 4 cm. When it is greater than 4 cm this may be laid monolithically or after the base concrete has hardened.
This flooring is made with very hard and tough quality aggregate in rich concrete of 1:1: 2. Generally hard fine grained granite, basalt, limestone and quartzite stones are suitable for coarse aggregate. In order to get a better granolithic finish, aggregate may be crushed and used. The fine aggregates are the natural or crushed sands with a suitable gathering. Non-slippery surfaces can be obtained by adding suitable abrasives. In case of non-monolithic construction, the base course may be prepared as done in concrete flooring. Granolithic flooring has all the advantages of concrete flooring.
