You will need one muther flat floor.

Im assuming you not laid anything that size before then?

I guess if its not polished your back will be knackered!

Hi Joe, I know several guys at the John Bridge site that have installed those monster tiles. If you need contact info just let me know.

My guess is the best advice is to get them right the first time and to not have to pick them up again to reset them! :smilewinkgrin:

and whats you weapon of choice gonna be for cutting them joseph??

 

[hillhead]

I haven't laid that size before,the 20mm marble is heavy as hell even at 600x600x20 !
only thing is there is't too many tiles to lay:smilewinkgrin:

My main weapon is my sigma 10M water saw !!! 3hp motor should do the trick.
