Heated opus pattern limestone floor. - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

It's been a while since I've laid an opus layout, probably 3 years, they don't seem as popular as they once were, I think it's a timeless layout, anyway I have just completed this one in Derbyshire and thought I would share it. 185w underfloor heating fitted first, then the stone, which took on 5 litres of sealer. I had to tile around the island and it's end panels.

Lovely job, not keen on the grout colour though. I am a grey maniac.

The customer spent ages pondering grout, I did a sample board with 3 different colours on. It's always tricky with this sort of stone I find.

I agree but i always try and steer towards grey especially if the kitchen has kids and pets etc....

Nice bit of silver sand and cement for me in a stone floor.
Why try blend grout when you go to trouble of having traditional stone floor and you barely see pattern!
Don’t make sense to me.
Not my floor tho.

Sup diesel oil in sawdust and rub will seal in grout colour forever also
