Stone tile and slab installation must probably have its own website to describe how intricate these processes can be! If all boxes are ticked, you can smell the sweet smell of a job well done. Unfortunately this is not the case in our day to day finding.

Due to the many variables involved, the process of installation must closely adhere to sound principles and techniques. Some of the immediate things to look into are:

1. Sub Floor Preparation.
2. Sub Floor Levelling As Required
3. Inclines, Declines & Thresholds
4. Is Waterproofing Required
5. Will Under Floor Heating Be Used.
6. Where To Start & How To End
7. Type Of Equipment & Tools Required
8. Choice Of Adhesives
9. Is The Stone Moisture Sensitive
10. Pre-Sealing As An Option
11. Grout Type
12. Size Of Grout Joints
13. Usage Of Neutral Cure Silicone

This is further complicated by site conditions, onsite labour skills, wet area special requirements, etc..
