For construction of mosaic flooring, first of all, a hard concrete base is laid. Over this concrete base, while it is still wet, a 2 cm layer of cement mortar (1:2) is evenly laid. sometimes, instead of cement mortar using monolithically, a lime surkhi mortar is first spread to a depth of about 6 cm and levelled; over which a layer of paste or cementing material is laid in thickness not exceeding 3 mm. Upon the bed of the cement mortar (cementing material) small pieces of broken tiles are arranged in definite patterns. After this, cement or coloured cement is sprinkled at the top and surface is rolled by light stone roller till the even surface is attained. this surface is left for 24 hours to dry and then it is rubbed with pumice stone to get a smooth and polished surface. The polished surface is finally allowed to dry for about two weeks before use.
