HI,
I’m part way through having an extension built and we are having a log burner.. I have found some beautiful black line stone in 300 x 300 cuts and plan to lay these in a 900 x 900 square to meet the needs of the stove.
What I’m not sure about is the best way to lay them in place , I have just laid a chip board interlocking sub floor which I was intending to lay on to ?
The plan was to make a frame slightly larger than the stone, put in a mix of sharp sand and cement with black dye for colour then lay the stone in place , finish by filling any gaps with the left over mix .
The questions that have come up are -
Is it ok to lay the mix directly on to the chip board floor? Will it take or have an issue with the moisture, it is moisture resistant board
Any help or advice would be greatly received
Thanks Chris
