that ever happens yes.

and can be treated with silicone impregnated into
surface to stop water and pollution soaking in. They
are up to 30mm thick only.
Q..Will tiles fall off after a few
years.
A…Not if
correctly tiled, that is notch trowel adhesive onto
wall, then put a thin layer across back of tile,
place onto wall and slide up and down and side ways,
this will give 99% fixture.
Q..What surfaces can you put product
on.
A…Brick – render – concrete blocks & slabs – AAC
hebel – blueboard – cement sheeting.
Q..What glues to use for tiling,
do you have to mechanically fix tiles like normal
stone.
A…We use a one part rubber based glue ATLAS “ADDFLEXTRA” which
has been approved for our……tiling systems, just follow
simple directions on bag for mixing with water.
Q..Is the colour of tile on surface
of tile only, like most cement products coloured
with oxides.
A…No
our colour is right through tile, that's why you
can cut and work it like natural stone, saving on
wastage, it does not have gravel or such as fillers
that become exposed when you cut the tiles.
Q..Does the colour fade.
A…No our products are light
in colours and don't have dark colours that fade
in our harsh Australian sun.
Q..Colour variation
A…Natural sandstone has several
colours, thats why our stonefacing is matched for
heritage work. Unlike limestone which is generally
cream only, from a distance looks like render.
Q..Do we have one size only, say
concrete blocks type 390mm x 190mm
A…No there are varying sizes to
make stone look natural, a concrete block size does
not look good when you are a distance away, it just
shows all the one size like a factory wall, which
they were developed for.
Q..How do you space the product.
A…You can cut 10mm
flat pieces of timber in strips and place onto top
of tile with the two tiles above sitting on the spacer,
this helps to self level, you should check every
three rows to realign if need be.
Q..Do you supply grout product.
A…We have our own
grout to supply you which can be either OFF WHITE
or SANDSTONE colour.
Q..How do you grout tiles.
A…Easy, we have a gun that you can use on large jobs, our special mortar is
easily mixed using a speed drill and paint mixture tool. Follow grout
lines with nozzle easing grout into joint, then waiting
half an hour to let slowly go off, run a plastic gloved wet finger along joints
to compress grout into joint and leave a finished grout line to dry.
Q..What about internal feature walls
for grouting etc.
A…You can buy Bostik Beige grouting silicone
to use with 7mm grout line.
Q..What if you get tiles dirty when
applying adhesive and grouts.
A…Let dry for a day then you can pick
off with a screwdriver or sharp instruement, try
never to wipe adhesives or grouts across face of
stone tiles.
For 215mm lightweight stone tile

So you have two walls A & C at 8 lineal metres each and two walls
B & D at 12 lineal metres each, total = 40 lineal metres
And your wall height is 2.475 lineal metres, as below (side elevation drawing)
So multiply this amount 2.475 Lm. high x 40 Lm. long = total 99 m2

There are 4 external main corners, measure each for lineal height.
On floor plan there are 4 main corners
by 11 pieces each = 44 pieces
Each corner/piece has a coverage of .087m2,
(so multiply) x 44 pieces = 3.83m2
(Then take out of total amount so you don’t pay twice)
Next…On each wall you have window and door openings so measure each one by height and width to get metres square.
Now total amount of all windows & doors plus cornerstone coverage.
Lets say there were 10 windows and 4 doors that came to 25.17m2 plus 3.83m2 corners Total overall takeout. 29m2….now take this away from 99m2 wall length
Quantity For
215mm lightweight product = 70m2 of Stonefacing wall tiles.
For this home + 44 pieces of Cornerstones.
Also…7 bags adhesive and 7 bags of grout
