Advantages
Our range of Stone Adhesives address the following issues associated with the conventional method of installing Natural Stone Slabs with a Cement Sand Bed:
- Cement Sand bed is made with Cement Slurry that loses water, shrinks, and leads to Formation of hollow beneath the heavy natural stone slabs.
- Heavy Natural Stones also need to be installed on a strong cured screed bed to sustain these heavy loads and the cement sand bed isn’t strong enough to withstand these loads.
- In addition, when heavy natural stone slabs are installed on loosely laid cement sand bed, the cement slurry loses water through the capillary pores and discharges dissolved salts that appear as powdery stains on the stone surface, resulting in wet patches & picture framing. This spoils the premium natural stone’s aesthetics & finish.
- On vertical surfaces that are often not true to plumb, Natural stones are often fixed with a cement blob & voids are fixed with a cement sand mix or cement slurry. This blob & the cement sand mix loses water, thereby shrinking & again leads to hollow beneath the stone.
