一幢修復的1950年代歷史悠久唐樓,用水磨石樓梯。
水磨石是一種飾面的物料,特色是顏色歷久不褪、可塑性高、可以達至整幅無縫、易於清潔的效果,戰前或50、60年代的時候,常會用在人們頻密接觸的地方,例如樓梯、大廳、或市場的枱面等。水磨石其實是西式的仿石工藝,俗稱「意大利批盪」,有別於意大利批盪,香港的水磨石是水泥混合石英石米,而不是雲石碎。
A restored 1950s historic Tong Lau (Chinese tenement building), with terrazzo stairs.
Terrazzo is a decorative material. It is characterized by its long-lasting colour, high plasticity, and a seamless application that is easy to clean. Before the war or in the 50s and 60s, it was often used in places frequently touched by people. For example, stairs, halls, or market countertops. Terrazzo is actually a Western-style imitation stone craft, commonly known as “Italian plaster”. Hong Kong’s terrazzo is made of cement mixed with quartz stone instead of marble pieces in Italian plaster.
