How big a terrazzo furniture top can one panel make?
Reference photographs. They show the material and the finish; they are not photographs of goods we made, and the colour on screen is not a colour-match.
The figures, and where each one comes from
| What is available | Figure | Source |

| Enumerated thicknesses | 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 mm | JC/T 507-2022 table 1 |
| Thickness tolerance | plus or minus 1.0 mm | JC/T 507-2022 table 4 |
| Flatness, ordinary | up to 0.8 mm to 1200 mm, up to 1.0 mm beyond | JC/T 507-2022 table 4 |

| ⛔ Span table | ⛔ none published by any standard we can cite |
Why the processes are not interchangeable
The size list is worth quoting because it removes a common misunderstanding: a 3200 by 1600 by 20 panel is a compliant product under the standard, with its own marking example in that standard, and not a special order. What the standard does not do is tell you how far that panel can span — that is a structural question about the panel, its thickness, its support and the load on it, and the honest position here is that a standards document does not answer it. Anyone quoting a maximum span for a terrazzo panel is quoting their own engineering or their supplier, and the question is worth asking of them.
What these figures are, and what they are not
Every figure on this page is from JC/T 507-2022, tables 1 and 4. ⛔ NO SPAN, NO LOAD AND NO DEFLECTION FIGURE APPEARS, because none was traceable to a standard and we publish none of our own. ⛔ Ask us for the panel drawing and the fixing detail for the size you have in mind and we will tell you what we hold.
