Granolithic

[4] The aggregate mixed with the cement can be of various size, shape, and material, depending on the texture of the surface needed and how long-lasting it must be.

[5] The aggregate is usually sifted so that the particles are roughly the same size, which helps reduce air pockets in the material (which can weaken it).

Because it is made with a high cement content and requires a great deal of water to mix, it may crack while drying.

[6] Cracking and curling can be reduced by dividing the area to be covered into smaller sections and then pouring the material.

[5] Debonding of the granolithic material can also be significantly avoided by using bonding agents like epoxy resins or polymer latex.
