Instead, the glass chips or aggregates are mixed with the terrazzo binder before being spread over the surface, not driven into it.

The correct process involves preparing a base course, laying a thick layer of cement concrete, and then applying the terrazzo mixture on top.

After laying the terrazzo, it is ground to a smooth finish, and oxalic acid is used to enhance the surface's shine.
