Slate floor products
I'm going to install a slate floor in my kitchen. I'm planning:
1. 6mm plywood sheet over existing hardboard. 2. Adhesive 3. Slates 4. Lithofin MN Power-Clean 5. Lithofin MN StainStop 6. Lithofin MN Colour Intensifier I'm planning to use Indian/Chinese style slate. The rough stuff with red streaks in, anyway. Is this a reasonable sequence? The floor will be a fraction over 10m2. Some questions: 1. Is 6mm plywood a good base to start on? Should I PVA it first? 2. What adhesive should I use? 3. How many coats of StainStop and Colour Intensifier should I use? 4. How many litres will I need of each? 5. At what point in the sequence do you grout? (i.e. before, after or in between coats of the StainStop?) 6. Do I need a particular type of grout? What colour looks good and won't look manky in five year's time? Christian. |
