tolerance for 20mm 800 by 800 lime stone

no m8 not reclaimed just junk

Well if not reclaimed stone then i am truly gobsmacked at Lapicida's attitude on this.... certainly wouldn't recommend them after this then..

Move on dean mate, nothing you can do now ...

Sorry to hear that.
At least your reputation is intact.

I would not be happy with that response from the supplier and would have contacted the stone federation for their opinion they have their own set of guide lines ,it would be worth you calling the customer and give him/her their number for some independant advice

it sound like a stich-up Dean, who can afford to be side-lined on job's like this ?, fight them ......

I have seen lot's of stone tile with that variation here - actually very usual especially with limestone. It surely takes more time to install or you will need to do a grind and hone in place after it is set.

A case like this you need this system First truly simple tile leveling system which virtually eliminates lippage, ideal for large format tile: marble, slate, porcelean, granite . I have never used the system and wonder how it effects the bond of the tiles.

The BSEN12058 Slabs for floors and stairs – requirements and BSEN1469 Slabs for cladding – requirements both give a tolerance of ±10% -so that would be ±2mm (18-22mm).

This is from Stone Federation Great Britain

Apparantly they are doing the right thing and sorting the stone out although still not sure if I am laying the stone or there fixer is doing it but at least my client will get the floor he has paid for.

I hope you get something for this, I'm sure the customer appreciates your input.

Hi deano, I feel like I have seen trhose pics. before 🙂

 

[AliGage]

Im a bit confused Deano. What are the install pics? Is that what there own installers did?

 

[Qwerty]

Shocking! I take it the border was installed to get around the chipped edge problem?

Who actually fixed this in the end and did they use original stone supplied or was it replaced.
i half remember this .
did you have another thread on the install and repairs someone tried to make

There were several attempts at laying this stone after I had refused to do it. They sent a tiler theat was supsed to be the tiler that tiles all there showrooms and he got about 8 or 10 m2 down and then desided that he couldn't do it. Then they sent a team from Israel and they Laid it all there was v joints and 6mm lips all over the place chips and scratches but it was ok they would grind it all flat and run a grinder down the joints to make them all uniform. The finish that this team left was unacceptable so they sent another chap and he put a better finish on the floor. I have now heard that the tiles are poping up and cracks are appearing all over the floor and it may all have to come up LOL.

i had a call about whether i would do or try and rectify this job.
dont think i mentioned this at time.
but i do know the story. small world is the stone business!!

One of my customer use them and I had same problem with the limestone.take the tiles back and re deliver. I think they get them from different supplier and double the money bx the name.

I fixed some honed and polished sandstone from lapicida for a client once. When I checked the crate it had foam between the slabs which had left lines all over the tiles which did not come off. Tried all sorts to remove them. Lapicida were contacted and refused to help in anyway shape or form. My client was buying hundreds of metres off them each year and stopped using them and went for porcelain.
