terracing job including pool surround, bench seating and water feature.
i brought this brabazon limestone in from france .approx 500 sq mts.
main terrace 400 x random length x 30mm thick.
all steps cuts cut and finished on site from running lengths.
this stone is not that hard but amazingly durable. I have never had any real problems with this stone over last 15 years even with t he 3 or 4 really bad winters of last five years.

wow! what a big project and very nice stone! like the stone mosaik in combination very much!

 

[jonnyc]

thanks . sorry forgot to mention the stone pebbles .
sub base was concrete.laid stone in sand/cement and adhesive mixed together in about 10-20mm bed .
adhesive used to back the stone and base
left channels out betwee
left channels out between stone for sheets of pebbles 300mm wide and then pulled thin screed between stone and set mosiac in adhesive when screed cured.

Here's a turtle I just carved out of a 16x16 piece of slate- The colors were all naturally there! This is the most colorful turtle I've ever carved!

16x16 metallic green slate turtle
Same turtle looks totally different from an angle-
very dynamic stone!-
Both this and the multi-color turtle are thin down on all the edges-allowing them to be overlaid onto the surface of existing tile walls with marine grade 2 part epoxy.

Hey Jonnyc- are the rocks around the planters loose? how about the strip in-front of the long pool couch- that's the runoff drain right? just wondering if they are loose or glued in- the ones around the planters look loose...?

hi ishi, the tiles are 1000x1000mm but most of them cut to 850mm.
finished the tiling last week. the floor is cementscreed colorless sealed with epoxy. the ceiling is face concrete.



today i tried out the raifix system. (search google for videos)
it was a little restauration job. the whole house get new paint and this wall is a never ending problem. so i said to the customers i try a new mechanincal fixing system and tile this problem-wall. i use ardex X32 and the fixed the last set sideways. so its only one tile with is not mechanical fixed.
what do you think about this system? the dealer says i´m the first one who ordered this.

 

[Tony73]

how thick is the stone ?

 

[rainsco]

the stone is 10-12mm. the system works > 9mm tiles and stones.
