CUTTING AND SHAPING TERRAZZO BLOCKS
Blocks can be carved into any custom shapes and forms. This allows terrazzo blocks to be used for creating landscaping features or carving out large objects, such as furniture or sculpture.

Cutting slabs.
Once the block is cured it is cut into slabs using a gang saw. The saw has a large number of parallel blades, cutting at the same time. Water, mostly gathered from rain, is used to keep the blades cool and dust-free. The same water is recycled throughout the rest of the slab preparation process to reduce wastage. To cut a single block into slabs takes around 4 hours.
B.
Rectification.
The slabs have their first honing to rectify the thickness and to ensure the accuracy of
the final material thickness.
the final material thickness.
