Hi, I'm looking for ideas or opinions. Have recently started a 400sq. mtr job of sandstone 22mm thick with a rough quarry finish (more like slabs). Sealing, cutting and fixing no problem. The problem is with the varying gaps and the depth grouting is taking an age and using up a lot of material...

I'm doing a sandstone floor this week. The "tiles" are really patio slabs but they are being fixed in a kitchen and are approx 30mm deep.
I have applied 4 coats of LTP mattstone to a tile as a sample for the customer, but I just have a nagging feeling that the customer is going to ask for a...

I didn't know Dominic or Martin from Adam but gave them the job largely because their approach was thoughtful and it was apparent that they knew what they were doing and were concerned to get it right in all details. Their price was mid range and the quality of their work and approach was very...
Hallo tilers!
I'm embarking on my first floor tiling project in our barn and am after a little advice!
It's 45m2 or so through hall into kitchen/diner and we've chosen to go with 25mm calibrated sandstone in one size. The overfloor is concrete - no u/f heating installed - just insulation...

Hi all
Am I right to think that this is complete madness. I've been told about a job today that I might have as potential work.

Hi, Lithofin MN Stainstop appears to be the professionals' recommendation for sealing this stone. 1) Am I right? 2) Can I ask for help to find best suppliers? 3) The lowest price I saw on the internet was est. £137 for a 5L tin. Does that seem about right?

Hi all
I'm just about to start a job doing floor and shower area of a bathroom with 600x300 Sandstone tiles (sandstone grigio which is apparently much less porous than normal sandstone). The one box of tiles I've seen seem to be calibrated so that shouldn't be a problem.
Putting it on to...
