Terrazzo Counter TrowelingThe dry concrete mix (with added natural pigment for coloration) is hand troweled into place.

Exterior Walkway TilingThis shows rebar strips being pressed into the newly poured exterior concrete surface to make a faux tile finish.

Terracotta Tiles Being LaidTerracotta takes more care to lay than regular tiles. Due to the way the tiles are produced, they are not all the same size, much like grade C tiles -- therefore, extra care must be taken to make sure they come out looking straight in the given pattern. The tiles are pre dipped in a liquid silicone derivative so they can't degenerate with moisture. dozerSep 27, 2011
