Tiling with Natural Stone

[Rich]

Hi, alot of good info about natural stone. I work with natural stone, and just recommend to seal all natural stone, before you lay it.

Thank you for your input. I would agree that some natural stone is better sealed before laying but no all. We all have our different ways of working but I think that it depends on the job and the stone

Ok had a play with my toys today and was a bit disappointed with one of the cutting discs but the rest was top notch and Stonetools are a fantastic company to deal with.

 

[Rich]

What was up with the cutting disc?

 

[The D]

Just a bit thick so it has a lot of material to cut and it is not a neat cut. The porcelain disc cuts the marble better and it is a very neat cut.

It looks like Im going to be investing in a kit as I have a load of 40mm Portland stone that needs shaping and installing.

So is the general opinion that stone tools is the place to go?

Good info within this post Rich.....I might have missed it but with the prep for floors I always tell the customer that I have to install a decoupling membrane to natural stone.....is this still the best practice?
