In standard terrazzo floor construction, the base course is followed by a screed layer (underbed) which is typically 34 mm thick (not 32 mm) and composed of cement mortar (usually 1:3 ratio).
Furthermore, this surface is intentionally left rough or marked with zigzag lines to ensure a proper bond with the subsequent 6 mm to 12 mm thick terrazzo topping.
Making the surface smooth by trowelling would prevent the final marble chip layer from adhering correctly.
