Limestone Flooring

[Artisan Ceramic]

Oh yes, the hallway is concrete and the two bathrooms are floorboards so I guess I have to ply line them and then hardibacker?

Thanks again

Sounds ok to me..

Make sure there is no bounce on the timber floors.

And nice and flat floors will make it easier..

But you also have to make sure of a solid bed of adhesive and i like to backskim the tiles as well to ensure full contact and even shading of adhesive bed.

Thanks all

The limestone for the hall is from Manderine Stone and it is Marfil Honed 600 x 400 x 20, Tough stuff m8 shouldnt need sealing b4 you start go gentle with it is very hard so chips and can break along the veins. White flexible adhesive would be favourite I would think

The limestone for the bathrooms is once again the same Marfil but polished and 610 x 305 x 10. Mandarin are known to mesh their 10mm mafil so will take a little longer to go off once on the wall. Same adhesive as floor and again I would seal after. Check if its beveled as might look better with a 3mm spacer.

UFH ?? if not straight onto concrete providing its well cured and in a good state of repair. Overboard with 10mm poly no advantage to using hbacker once over ply'd will need a uncoupling membrane tho over the ply.

The honed stuff says it is suitable for high traffic. Anyone used this before? Easy one of the best to be having a start with.

Many thanks for all the useful advice.

Thanks everyone for such great advice. There is no underfloor heating Wetdec, so I think you are right, this will be a good one to start the limestone experience with.
