Step-by-step application guide: Preparation, application, final checks

The substructure is very important for the durability of the stone carpet application. First, make sure of the quality of the concrete on which the application will be made, and identify the joints and cracks in the concrete. Cracks should be repaired. If a pattern is to be made on the coating, lathing should be done.

The climatic conditions of the region should be taken into consideration. If the region is exposed to freezing or thawing, extra precautions should be taken.

Make sure that the stones for the stone carpet mixture are dry and dust-free before the mixture is made. The mixture must be homogeneous and the mixture dimensions must be followed.

Thickness homogeneity is important in stone carpet applications: For this reason, after the stone is poured on the ground, leveling costs and spreading with special pulling trolleys should be made. After this process, the stone carpet should be applied to the surface with oval trowels lubricated with trowel oil. If pressure is applied to the surface during application, a more solid stone structure will emerge.

– Tips to be aware of

Stone carpet applications can be cleaned with a stiff brush and pressurized water, but hot water should never be used. In case of chewing gum sticking to the coating, it is recommended to freeze it by spraying freezing spray and then scrape it off with a spatula. Substances such as fuel leakage, oil and grease may leave stains on the application, these spills should be cleaned immediately. For cleaning these substances, a mixture of warm water and a little detergent should be poured on the area and wait for 10 minutes and then rinse with pressurized water. In case of possible surface damage, the surface can be cut and removed and replaced with the same stone carpet. It is important to clean the edges of the repair thoroughly for a seamless and durable application.
