  • How to Install Dry-Laid Flagstone Complete Step by Step “How-To
    How To Install Dry-Laid Flagstone Patio or Walkway Complete step by step “How-to” guide for building a dry-laid patio or walkway. Copyright © 2012 Stone Plus, Inc. How To Build A Dry Laid Flagstone Patio or Walkway As there is no single “right way” to install dry laid flagstone, we have found the following to be a solid tech- nique. Choosing Your Stone Stone for walkways and patios come in many colors, shapes, textures and sizes. When selecting the stone for your pavement, keep in mind the concept, or idea, that form fits function. When laying a dry laid patio, one should use a thicker stone that is 3/4” to 2-1/2” thick. Any thinner stone will be subject to cracking. Thinner stones are used when installing stone over an existing concrete slab. Pictured to the right is the Arizona Buff Patio flagstone. As you can see, this stone has irregular edges and may need fitting in order to get the look you desire. Pictured above: Buff Patio When installing a primary walkway or patio that has high traffic or is an entertainment area, thought should be given to selecting larger and flatter flagstone. Women in high heels, or the leg of a table and chair, find larger, flatter stones more compatible with their needs. When installing a “garden path or retreat”, the use of smaller, more irregular stone is appropriate. So when choosing a flagstone for your pavement, one should consider the purpose of the pavement. Consider the texture and size of the stone in relation to its intended pur- pose.

  • Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual Setting
    Natural Stone Slate Tile Installation Manual The following procedure for the installation of Natural Stone Slate Tile (Gauged Back) for Flooring It may be used over any wood and cement floor that is structurally sound and dry. In new home construction where plywood is used as a sub floor, it is suggested that an underlayment or backer board needs to attached to the sub floor to insure rigidity where slate floors will be installed. Setting 1. Clean area where slate is to be installed. In the case of smooth painted or varnished floors, it is necessary to sand with very coarse sand paper to assure a good mastic bond. 2. Lay out the slate to understand pattern choices. For multi color slates, blend tile randomly to give proper blend of colors as slate color vary from tile to tile. 3. Using a notched 1/4" x 1/4" trowel, hold at a 45 degree angle to be sure a full ridge is made with the notches. Spread thinset on floor starting ar a far corner so you can back out of the room as you proceed. Spread just enough area so you can reach over it to place the slate. Natural cleft slates have a thickness variation. Spread a good amount of thinset on the floor to make up for any thickness variation. Adding or taking away thinset will ensure that all the tiles are evenly set. 4. Maintain a grout space between the pieces as recommended by the slate supplier (1/4" or 3/8") depending on the sizes of the tiles.
