Ladies and Gents, your thoughts please.
Tiling a 5 bathroom house at the moment with 4 baths completed and only the master to finish.
Builder is a stand-up bloke and the whole job has gone well with no problems.
However, the feature wall for the master has turned up and i was shocked to say the least.
100cmx50cm "split-face" stone which is 30mm thick! Heres the problem i have flat out refused to fix these to the wall (2.7mx2.4m half Wedi ((wet area)) half skimmed plasterboard!!) The wall has been completely tanked.
I reckon this stone must weigh in the region of 70kg per m2? and can not imagine this not failing.
Structural engineer comes out and does a survey saying these are absolutely fine to stick to the wall. No mention of mechanically tying or anything.
I feel very uneasy about this and even with a disclaimer saying i accept absolutely no responsibility for damage or injury due to failure i think i may refuse.
What do you reckon?
