    Default Tumbled Marble

    Tumbled Marble Brickbone sheets, subsrate is plasterboard.

    1)What adhesive would you advise using?

    2)What grout would you advise using? (White) I am thinking Bal or Mapei because I can get them locally.

    3)Should I seal before grouting and which sealer would you advise? Might be a pain just painting the faces of the stone.





    Next is the floor, Marble interlocking sheets, substrate is primed no more ply sheets.

    1) Which adhesive? be handy if it was the same as the wall i guess as only 8m2.

    2) Which grout? (light grey) Never ever using white on a floor again lol!

    3) Do I seal before grouting and which sealer?

    Look forward to your replies, thanks in advance.

    Paul

    Hello Paul ..

    Keraflex maxi ( grey ) would be a good choice of adhesive and i would use mapei grey grout...this can be used on the walls and floor, so that it matches..

    Sealer , i would use LTP Mattstone..
